Back in early 2010 there was this big hoopla over a new 4 issue Batman mini-series entitled Europa.
Synopsis here from DC Universe: The Source...
In the pages of BATMAN: EUROPA, the impossible has happened – the Batman is on the brink of defeat, at the hands of a virus with no cure. Surely there’s someone that can help him? Well, there is – the Joker. Who infected Batman with the virus? What does the Joker have to do to save him? And how can it all happen before the Dark Knight collapses? Together, the unlikely teammates and arch-foes travel through Europe cobbling together clues while the clock ticks down.
Originally scheduled for release in January, it was then pushed back to February, then to March, July, and then completely off the DC schedule altogether.
It was starting to look like DC had pulled a fast one over us, but then there was hope...
After repeated requests via Twitter to Jim Lee (@jimlee00) he finally gave us a response. Now it's only the words "of course" but that's good enough for us.
So there is still hope in seeing Batman - Europa, and that's a good thing, because there is nothing better in life than having one of your favorite characters being done by one of your favorite artists (that'd be Jim Lee in case you're just joining in).
Now of course we don't expect to see Europa anytime soon, in fact we have a feeling we won't see this title until at least next January; in case you missed it, DC is doing this whole reboot thing in August, so they're a tad bit on the busy side at the moment.
Still exciting just to know that we will get to see Batman - Europa at some point.
Thoughts?

soooo....it's been a while....any news?
Asked Jim Lee via Twitter again about this a couple months back and he just responded with "it's still in the plans". I'm still hoping to see this get done.
