Comic book/batman question

[Knee Deep in Water Chloe]

I drew my brother in law in our family gift exchange.

My BIL wants "the new batman comic". 
Ive googled and looked on Amazon, but I can't seem to determine which one or what series he's talking about. Any ideas?

I think there are at least three Batman comics in print right now. Go to your local comic shop and ask if a new one came out recently.

I think you are going to need a lot more specific / better info than the "new Batman comic"  (you're supposed to capitalize Batman BTW )

first of all- a typical DC (company that makes Batman) comic costs about $3 or 4 if I remember correctly----does he really only want / expect a gift of this small price, would you be comfortable with giving this as a gift  

also there are many Batman related comics.......to simply say the "new one" doesn't help

since the price of an individual comic is relatively a low priced gift , I suspect he is meaning some graphic novel or trade paperback with Batman in it rather than an individual comic (although he may be talking about a hard to find back issue?  those can cost some $$$)

If you find out he does really want some individual $3 - 4 comic, I would look for one in real good condition (no bends, tears, etc. collectors get freaky about that stuff, this isn't a magazine) and probably get a special bag and backing board for the comic (comic specialty shops sell these)

Maybe BIL had a 'brain fart' and meant to write the new Batman video game --  I saw ads on the bus stop shelters for such a thing not too long ago.
