Batman: Endgame will take place post Eternal!

He pretty much mentioned everything, Catwoman's changes, Robin Rises, and ect., aside from Grayson. So I guess the things happening in Grayson and him being "dead" are probably going to be ignored by Synder. So I guess him putting some weight behind that plot isn't going to happen.

Agreed. My issue is that if I know all the outcomes there's much less of a reason for me to read Eternal. And I am enjoying the heck out of it currently but that's a lot of money saved...

Knowing the outcome is only half of what matters. How we get from Point A to Point B is just as important, if not more important, than how things end.

Okay, reading that interview, I'm going to go out on a limb here about what "Endgame" could mean. I think Scott Synder is going to have Bruce Wayne publicly outed as Batman.

[doctormistermaster]

What an excessively hyperbolic title for what is likely a highly excessive story. I really wish that I could share the general consensus on Snyder's run but I honestly hope that Endgame at least attempts to be self contained. I understand that the tie-ins probably help the sales of the Bat titles but I really want the titles to develop a voice beyond filler between Snyder's next line crossing event.

Well, that interview will certainly have the Snyder haters out in force since he uses the words big, biggest cast, muscular, over the top and vibrant.

That's what I thought when I read the interview. But then, I like this respond from Snyder himself lol

"if you think we're going to go small or doesn't have the biggest cast we've ever used and the biggest cataclysmic elements that we've ever used, then you don't know us as a team."

the new writers' and artists' take on Catwoman

The placement of the apostrophe is very important here. Is he hinting that we'll see multiple creative teams on Cat's book? Genevieve did confirm she was only writing an arc.

the biggest, deadliest and most epic story

Oh jeez here we go again.

Yeah, seems like I've heard that statement before. Just can't place where...

tylenol! I for one have missed you.

True, however, if I know the end the urgency is gone. I'm not saying I wouldn't read it, I'm loving it so far, but I would definitely trade wait it and save a ton of cash.

Usually when the words "superstar creative team" are used, I laugh because most in the industry are incredibly mediocre and pump out incredibly boring and mediocre material.

But Snyder & Capullo truly are a "superstar creative team"

Welp, this is... something.

I won't lie: I found almost every Joker appearance under Snyder's pen to be dull as hell (I don't care how much brutality you throw in there; a Joker without humor and charisma is simply not the Joker). And the last time someone used "Endgame" in conjunction with the Joker, it created one of the worst Joker stories of all time - a story that soured both Greg Rucka's name and all of "No Man's Land" for me.

So... I guess all I have now is a morbid curiousity to see how over-the-top grimdark Snyder can take the Joker this time. Will he be drowning babies? Playing "Operation" with puppy organs? Killing yet another member of the Bat-family? (I've got my money on Jim Gordon).

I can't believe that as much as Snyder cares for Nightwing/Dick, he wouldn't be mentioned in rememberence at the very least in Batman. Damian was mentioned in Batman after he died, surely Dick will be thought of as well.

I hope you're not talking about the End Game video game tie-in, which was awesome.

With you on this. I may have to wait for eternal to end before picking this up.

Boy, do we have different tastes. I loved the end of NML (and still miss Sarah).
