"RISE OF THE BATMEN" chapter one

An unknown predator begins outdoing Batman, taking down dangerous threats with military precision. It's up to the Dark Knight and series costar Batwoman to rally and train the young heroes of Gotham City to end this mysterious threat!

WHAT NOW: Batman and Batwoman begin training Spoiler, Red Robin and Cassandra Cain, but is the villainous Clayface ready for redemption?

Can't wait

This is my kind of Batman comic. Looking forward to reading it and seeing how all the characters interact with each other.

Is Tim's relationship with Stephanie Brown still canon?

@theexile285: Not quite. They just recently met during BATMAN AND ROBIN ETERNAL. So there's something possibly building.

@gmanfromheck: Cool. Thanks for the info.

Wait, a Batman book that has an actual mystery?? Azrael is back? Am I in wonderland, because this looks great!

@theexile285: IRRC Tim was with Cassie .. and Step is..

Why'd you have to remind me of this? Lol. I liked Cassie with Kon-El and Lobdell's handling of Tim and Cassie (and all the other TT) was a train wreck. *Sigh*

I really hope that they don't try to play up Tim needing training. Tim doesn't need training. I really hope his position here is just a regular teamup character and they treat him like the teen vet he is.

Holy crap, now there's a Batman!

@theexile285: One title can describe Lobdell's writing of TT.

Looks promising. Looking forward to this.

I really want this, but it sadly looks like I might have to cut it from my pull due to the increased spending I'll have to do now that comics are going to be bi-weekly.

Still not sure about Clayface being on a Bat-family team.

The art is glorious.

this is where i begin to read DC comics. DC REBIRTH!!

Why has Clayface suddenly turned sides?

Art is amazing, might have to try this out even if I was not planning on it.

I'll pick it but Tynion has to amaze me, Im still not sold on his writing abilities

No my boi! Azrael

Looking forward to this! Tynion is perfect for a Batman book

Lobdel is litierally the 1 & only thing that ruined Kon, Cass & Bart.

Awesome... can't wait!

Barrows' art has not looked this good since Nightwing.

Azrael looks great

Not a Batman guy, but conceptually this book is brilliant.

Looking forward to reading this issue (obviously), but as Azrael doesn't seem to be mentioned and so much talk of Clayface, I can't help but wonder if Azrael is actually Clayface? I guess I won't find out till I read the issue. I am curious as to how they're going to explain this New 52 version of JPV into the original continuity considering, you know, he died.

@vinomonster: Ha Damian's a savage. Anyway on topic a Batman comic with a mystery? Count me in.

Not sudden. An amnesiac Clayface switched to the hero side (or at least the anti-hero side) in Batwoman's old series in 2014.

I don't understand why Tim is even there. He is easily more trained and experienced than Batwoman. Not to mention, a better detective. I really hope they don't have kate ordering him around. Also shouldn't Batgirl in this group too?

Can Tim PLEASE get his own solo book? If everyone else has one, even Jason's awful book, why can't Tim?

@gxrevolution: @thanosismad:

Don't either y'all remember the origin they gave Tim for the New 52? Cause unfortunately with his current status quo there is an excuse to have him still need training.

Part of the Outsiders, right? Forgot about that.

The Unknowns, actually. Marc Andreyko's misguided attempt to save Batwoman's book from cancellation by changing its direction.

Actually, I wonder if they'll pop up in this series. I mean Batwoman's a lead, Clayface is apparently showing up, and all the other members live in Gotham and aren't being used anywhere else right now... hmmmmm

@lagozzino: Interesting. Batwoman has been underused, might be a good grab if she's used well.

That cover!

Finally Robin looks cool again!!!!

Hmm, this sounds pretty interesting.
