I can now tell you that the new Batman will be designed by Alex Ross and will see Jason Todd under the cowl.
Poor Dick Grayson. Don't you hate it when someone junior to you is promoted above your head?
This is all part of a cross-continuity, longform story by Grant Morrison and in terms of structure bears similarity to his “New X-Men,” but on a far wider scale. It sounds rather good.
how much did DC pay him to say that "it sounds good?"

yeah, totally original idea and nothing like that book Marvel puts out. . .what's it called again? Commander USA? . . .something like that. . .
