The Riddler story and the Dracula story are not the same. I'm not sure if the Dracula story has been moved, or if that solicitation went out based on an out-of-date schedule, but they are separate stories. And as far as I know, the Dracula issue is an adaptation of the DTV.

So by that logic, perhaps this riddler issue is really #16?

To the best of my knowledge, the plan was for the Dracula issue for #15, the Joker story I'm finishing now for #16, and then the Riddler for #17.
I'm not sure who's next, but we'll be seeing an older gentleman born on a Monday very soon...

Yeah, my Batman/Dracula tie-in issue with Wes Craig is # 15, but the solicit is wrong again. Seems I have a curse of sorts...

Well, I suppose there are worse curses. I'm still bemoaning the two issued of Justice League Adventures I drew that haven't seen print...

Guess you have a point there, Chris. Were those Dan Slott issues by any chance?

Matthew is most definately correct. #16 will be Joker and a surprise guest.
Then, onto #17 for Riddler!

Unfortunately, I've never worked with the talented Mr. Slott.
The two JL Adventures issues I drew that have gone unpublished were a Royal Flush Gang story by Dan Raspler and ... sob... a Blue Beetle/Booster Gold story by Kieth Giffen.

See, now that I don't get. remember when they did those extra sized issues when the Johnny DC logo first appeared? Why not run with your issues instead of older, already printed Adventures in the DCU stories? Too bad. I'm a huge Giffen fan and I'd have loved to read Raspler's story as well, since he's the guy that gave me my first gig at DC.
