whens 5G rumored to start? Maybe they would start Bat/Cat around the same time as it. So theirs one book with Luke Fox Batman and another with Bruce Wayne Batman and Catwoman.

Bleeding Cool suggested that they'll be doing something like this - having the classic heroes in Black Label (or other imprint) books while 5G is going on. Not sure they'll actually do that, but it's a reasonable guess. As to 5G, one would expect it to be the result of the next Crisis, right?

I believe they've mentioned that the "New Crisis" will be starting once his Justice League run finishes at #50, and if it continues going twice monthly, that'll be in July, which will probably lead to the ending in December, so whatever new status quo for everyone will start in 2021.
We're moving far afield here, but Snyder's JL run finishes in January and Hell Arisen ends in March. I'd be shocked if we aren't starting the next Crisis in May after a FCBD special.
---------------------------------------------
As to Bat/Cat, it's a bit unfortunate that we have to wait until at least March. I didn't see the Batman special (maybe it'll be a B/C Annual) either in the solicits. It's going to be quite the drought - I hope City of Bane doesn't end on a cliffhanger.

Fade??? Duke did not appear in Batman at all in 2018. Even if your plans got changed for Duke to be Batman or someone else had ideas for Duke. That does NOT excuse tossing him aside for almost a year and a half.
Duke doing stuff behind the scene to better himself doesn't take much effort. Tim had his own book, Teen Trainwreck & Young Justice and still got usage in Batman.
Bad look to have Duke MIA or on one panels cameos in a book that lets face is (at times) your best seller.
I think, as bob points out below, things have changed.
The Batman special is not in the solicits, that is correct. I also hope that City of Bane doesn't end on a cliffhanger. That would really suck.
There's a difference between "allowing Snyder the time and space to try and figure out what he wants to do with Duke through Metal, Patrick takes a swing, then Hill gets the character...and Hill's series is put in limbo for nearly six months" and "tossing him aside."
I think it's clear which one actually happened. And blaming King for DC editorial and Snyder's lack of decision is strange.

I didn’t even realize Bat/Cat was missing in this month’s solicits. Shows how much I’m paying attention to DC these days.
