So what are you guys hoping/expecting from the Batman line come June?
There's rumours of Batman becoming bi weekly and Scott Snyder shifting to Detective Comics. There's also talk of Snyder,King and Johns having something big planned. I'm betting it has something to do with Dick,Owlman and the Court of Owls. I can see the following happening:
Detective by Snyder
Scott Snyder on Detective Comics would be awesome! not only Detective sales would go through the roof, but also he once said that being a Batman writter is a huge opportunity that anyone would want and that he feels that he must make the best and most epic possible story he can and when he can't he would leave, so this way he would not have the pressure on his shoulders anymore and he could do smaller-stories featuring B-list villains to give them some much deserved exposure and since he has been said to be wantting to make a two-face story for a long time now i can already see him doing it, i can also already see the pre-flashpoint dynamics between Batman, Cass, Steph and Tim being featured on detective, can't wait!
Bi weekly Batman book by King and Johns or Tomasi and Johns. Maybe Azzarello and Snyder as well. They may even steal a big time Marvel writer for this one.
Interesting, this can give Damian fans the Batman-Son dynamics that they've been asking for.
Nightwing/Grayson by Seeley or King or both.
Good.
Batman & Robin or Robin:Damian SOB by Tomasi or Gleason or both.
Good
Something with Jason Todd by Tomasi or Colin Kelley and Jackson Lanzing...or Scott Lobdell
Meh, could be good, but i'm not excited for it.
I see the Batman book putting an end to Eternal books.
Well, that's not necessarily a good or bad thing...if the Batman main title ges bi-weekly the weeklies will not continue because they will become redundant and DC will have enough Money to avoid having to make them, besides more Batman page-count, means more space for other characters.
Batgirl retains it's team.
Awfull.
Maybe Tim Drake by Tynion or Kelly and Lanzing.
Same as Jason, although Tynion might do some good for New 52's Tim butchered Drake.
Harley retains both her books and may well gain another one with any combination of Joker/Ivy/Catwoman.
Meh.
Catwoman and/or Ivy by Chu and Valentine.
Good.
Some Gotham book.
Always good.
Titans with Graysons generation. Possibly YJ or TT with Damian.
Hum...interesting.
Possibly another BOP or Batwoman or both.
BOP good, Batwoman again meh.
Dont see Midnighter,We Are Robin,Gotham Academy and Black Canary returning
Probaby, sales are a big factor, and they aren't on their side...and i would argue that Catwoman might not return as well, at least not alone in one book.
