Welcome to What's New in The New 52 – where you, the fans, get a sneak peek at the stuff that crosses our desks. This little feature is a way to keep you all in the loop about what's new, different and exciting in The New 52 – whether it's a character design, cover, splash page or panel.

A few weeks ago, we showed you Graham Nolan’s awesome design for Bane’s look in his upcoming Villains Month one-shot. And if you’re a fan of the notorious Bat-villain, today’s your lucky day as we’ve got some more Bane designs for you!

Joining the creative team of TALON with October’s issue #12 is artist Emanuel Simeoni. Simeoni will be joining the book right at the exhilarating climax of the series’ current Bane and Court of Owls story arc. By the time the story wraps up at the end of the year, Bane will have changed alliances and the Secret Society will have come into play. So how will the events of TALON tie into FOREVER EVIL?

Above, check out Simeoni’s character study of Bane.

More soon!|
