Such bullshit.
I like to be optimistic if this is true. Tom can still change the passing as if it were a monthly title. Maybe have some extra pages for the finale. It’s a lot of work, but the last thing I would want is an unfinished story or another writer finishing it (though that would be better that have no ending). I hope it’s not true, but it’s something that sadly happens a lot
"The Batman is Gotham City. I will watch him. Study him. And when I know him and why he does not kill, I will know this city. And then Gotham will be MINE!"-BANE
"We're monsters, buddy. Plain and simple. I don't dress it up with fancy names like mutant or post-human; men were born crueler than Apes and we were born crueler than men. It's just the natural order of things"-ULTIMATE SABRETOOTH
LOL. I feel so gipped.
I feel worse for all the people who were invested in this for years. I'm new to it, and I only recently caught up and got into comics at all, but it was based on this idea that it was a Batman/Catwoman story that was going to come to an actual conclusion. I got excited.
I REALLY learned my lesson, I guess. Do not invest or get excited for things like this. Or even expect what you're told will happen to actually happen. I won't make that mistake again.
Mitch Gerads also just tweeted a GIF of batman with the following statement: "I know things about a thing and it all means even better things."

So...maybe not all bad news coming out of this....???
With all due respect to Ben Percy, there's a big different between him getting kicked off a middling title like Nightwing, and Eisner Award winning, critical darling Tom King getting kicked from one of only five or six books currently being published that can bring in any sort of significant numbers.
If he's not safe, no one is, and it's ridiculous.
If it's true that King's being removed prematurely, it's not great news (definitely a bad way to start the morning before breakfast), but don't count it over just yet.
Fans have managed to reverse these things before by making enough of an uproar. Gail Simone's Batgirl run comes to mind, and heck, wasn't King's very own Omega Men saved from premature cancellation by the fans?

King's story could split off from the main Batman book and King writes a new Batman book while someone else takes over the main Batman title.
If they did something like that, would it still be considered canon?
The thing that's really annoying is that King's run is sort of dependent on the ending, lol. Considering everything he's promised/hyped. Stopping it at this point is really messed up for people who've been promised a payoff to all of this. And he really sounded like he understood that in those recent interviews, so this is just horrible.
