Convergence to DC Comics is a narrative arc event similar in the status -quo altering scope of Marvel’s Secret Wars, and it seems not even the Bat is immune to change.

Indeed Convergence is an event arc set to run from April through to May and Batman issue #41 has released shows a very Briareos / Chappie looking Batman. Check out the cover art released:

With art by Greg Capullo and writing by Scott Snyder, Batman #41 prepares fans for some potentially controversial, altering stuff in his portrayal of the Caped Crusador, or, judging by the released art, Iron Man. Snyder explains:

Also seems the Bats not opposed to using guns anymore. Well it is a tough day in age I guess. We also get another look at the new Batman in the cover of Batgirl #41:
