Love Marquez. Wish he were being put on a better book.
My teeth get whiter every time someone complains about Batman Who Laughs or Dark Multiverse.
While I welcome another Superman/Batman title I'm not keen on the spinning out of the YOTV part.

“It becomes this mystery across not just this book but really the line,” Williamson said, suggesting that fans reading other series might have the chance to work out identities before the heroes do. “It's a thing where it's not just going to be focused on this one book; it starts here, but you're going to get a situation where, if you are reading the line, you might start piecing some stuff together before like bigger reveals happen. You might be like, 'Oh this weird thing's happening over here, I wonder if that's connected to the story here,' and that's cause, yeah. It is.”
Not going to lie this ^ interests me.
Williamson's quote about other books just indicates to me more "connective tissue" crap to boost sales, because it strongly hints you won't know the FULL story unless you're reading everything. Give crossovers a rest, DC.
Plus The Batman Who Must Appear In All Stories Now. Hooray. This book won't exist to tell World's Finest stories; it's here so that Scott Snyder's new pet stays in the picture while he writes a different story. I also do not care about this character, so his presence isn't drawing my interest at all.
I'll pick up an issue if Williamson gives editorial the finger and names Bendis's hack job on Jon Kent as a Dark Multiverse replacement, but other than that, think I'll pass.
Is it just me or does Marquez's art look a little..off? The sketches look fine but the cover seems not up to his usual standard. Maybe I'm just not used to him drawing DC characters .
I still have no idea what the point of the Batman Who Laughs is.
So this is basically Millennium with the Secret Six in place of the Manhunters. Somehow I don't think this incarnation is going to be as popular as Gail Simone's take.
I'm hesitant over this "testing" concept because it feels like it might throw some characters under the bus or make them even more difficult to use. Especially when we know Donna is one of them.
Lots of characters aren't attached to the Titans but some of the characters who are suspected of being corrupted are from the Titans franchise or were members at one point.
At the very least,DC might have something against the younger heroes.
The list of suspects included Donna Troy, Beast Boy, Ms.Martian,Kyle Rayner, Ms.Martian and Supergirl.
