At this point, I think it's a waste, DC could have made more money with Fabok on a high profile book every month like Batman, Superman, or Justice League.
Pulls: Batman, Detective Comics, SiKtC, Catwoman, Nightwing, Titans, Godzilla, Wonder Woman, Batman & Robin, Brave and the Bold, No/One, Kill your Darlings, and Deviant.
My runs: Batman #230-, and Detective #420-
It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?
Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.

I think it not being solicited yet is actually to it's benefit. From the progress reports that come up in interviews it appears like they're waiting until it's done before soliciting it, which would be a good thing as it wouldn't suffer the massive delays Johns' other books have right now. Seems like they're learning from their mistakes with this one.
Last Read: Aquaman & The Flash: Voidsong
Monthly Pull List: Birds of Prey, Daredevil, Geiger, Green Arrow, Justice Ducks, Justice Society of America, Negaduck, Nightwing, Phantom Road, Shazam!, Space Ghost, Suicide Squad: Dream Team, Thundercats, Titans
Based on everything we know, it seems to me like this is less holding back until the artist completely finishes, and moreso internal delays regarding when exactly it should come out, and the artist using that time to their advantage.
It's the same thing with Doomsday Clock, we know that those delays aren't entirely because of Gary Frank needing that time to get it finished, but that alot of it appears to be because of editorial itself pushing the release back to accommodate whatever other plans they got going on, and Franks just taking advantage of that time given.
I don't think Fabok has been drawing for over a year and a half because he's that slow, I think DC deciding they want it out after Doomsday Clock (and could possibly still trying to discuss amongst themselves how "canon" they want it to be) feels like the most likely answer.
I guess it's the main discussion about the book ?
Anyway, new interview with Jason Fabok : https://www.gamesradar.com/meet-the-...-the-comedian/

So let me see if I understand this right from what Fabok has said here:
-The reason Batman hasn’t noticed there are three jokers is that appearance wise they are very similar
-That the unique differences are in their choice of actions, decisions, or expressions
-That the three of them, at least at one point, have played a role in other versions of the Joker (like the New 52 endgame appearance).

That is my thought too, it was more wishful thinking on my part getting him on a main book.
I do enjoy the Black Label books, but in the long term, they are meaningless to continuity, and don't boost the main titles whatsoever. With the top talent shifting to them, it hurts the main, in continuity books in my opinion.
