Jurgens is producing the same crap that Lobdell and Nicieza did and saying the same things they did. He doesn't really deserve any benefit of the doubt. Him saying things like why he thinks the concept is interesting but is not being truthful at all about it. There is no value to anything he's said in any of his interviews because it is all PR speak.
And I'm sorry but the Owls aren't interesting. Talon isn't interesting. Bludhaven isn't interesting. The Nightwings aren't interesting. Bea isn't interesting. Ric isn't interesting. It is just a tie in to a line wide event and Talon is the only villain they could use because Dick's history is so irrelevant that there is nothing else they could think of. All the other big villains are off doing things for the Year of the Villain story and King's Bane story. I think if you are expecting some big story that is going to matter or have any care put into it you are setting yourself up for disappointment. The book is just treading waster until they relaunch it next year probably, but who knows when that will be. I thought that this would all be over in time for King's BIG Batman Summer event, but that didn't happen.
Everyone is talking about this issue but an Annual comes out in October that is going to show Ric finally meeting Bruce after he first got shot and no one here cares about that meeting. Shows how disinterested people are in this story as a whole. The last time they two met was when Dick got his brains blown out in Batman #55 and they wasted a full year with this awful story to have the two meet again.
