DC Comics brings us our First African Batman in Batwing #1

DC Comics announces a new character to the DC universe. Meet David Zavimb, the Batman of Africa.


"Batwing #1 is a series that spins right out of Grant Morrison's Batman Incorporated storyline. This is the first time that we have an in-continuity black character wearing the Batman costume," said Batman group editor Mike Marts. "Grant has provided us with so many new characters and concepts. He's really just been a fountain of ideas and energy for the Batman group of titles. We have so many different cool things to choose from what Grant creates, and we go with what we think is going to provide readers with the most story and the most excitement. And with this, Batwing won out."

I always wondered about a black Batman. I am finally glad it is coming true.

I don't.....why do all black characters have to come from the Hood or Africa? I mean, not that it will last long as DC is about to "Infinite Crisis" their whole universe. Or will this be after the reboot?? I'd rather a black Robin or a new black hero that isn't tied to any legacy at all. He looks like Iron Man with a Bat motif.
