Who is the Black Mask?
- Posted by Matthew Meylikhov on Friday, March 12, 2010
This morning, DC's The Source posted a preview of the upcoming issue of Batman. It is the finale of the Black Mask arc that came about in the wake of Battle for the Cowl, where a new Black Mask arrived in Gotham City to cause trouble for Dick. We've been teased a bit as to the identity of Black Mask, and all signs point to it being someone familiar. It definitely isn't the original Black Mask, though, as he was confirmed dead in the Catwoman Blackest Night tie-in.Who wears the Black Mask? The true identity of Gotham City's new crimelord is finally revealed and that identity will surprise everybody – especially Batman! And after the final showdown between Black Mask and The Dark Knight, will things ever be the same for Kittyhawk and the Reaper?
So who do you think the Black Mask is? The book, written and drawn by Tony Daniel, comes out on the 17th.

I have really dug Tony Daniel's stuff on Batman. I hope this isn't the last of him on the title and is instead just the last of the arc. I have no clue who Black Mask is though.
Yeah, he's on for at least two more issues.
Awesome
It's going to be.... BRUCE WAYNE! no? okay... uh... JASON TODD! still not right? Okay, I know it this time, it's.... ALFRED. (You're all going to be so impressed when this comes out and I'm right.)
On a side note, I don't read much Batman, and none with Black Mask, but I'm sorta hoping that Nolan picks him up for the villain in Batman 3. He just seems different enough from the Joker and not cheezy like Penguin.
