DC Comics October 2010 solicitations

Highlights from DC's offerings. What's up with the last issues of the kid-oriented Shazam and Brave and the Bold titles? I hope this means they'll replaced by new kid-oriented fare and that DC isn't giving up on young readers entirely:

BATMAN HIDDEN TREASURES #1
Written by RON MARZ and LEN WEIN
Art by BERNIE WRIGHTSON & KEVIN NOWLAN
Cover by BERNIE WRIGHTSON

Also included in this can't-miss issue is the newly colored, classic Bernie Wrightson/Len Wein Batman story "Night of the Bat," which originally appeared in SWAMP THING #7!
