and yeah this is a pretty good idea
why not just have Tec become a comic like Legends of the DK and Batman focuses on its thing

if Legends of The Dark Knight already done it before then why do it again? Unless it's a modernization like Zero Year... and... that's just... Zero Year.
Also, didn't people complain about Zero Year because it went on too long?
Batman family has so many characters if Batman has multiple titles it's better to give it to them. Sorta like what Tynion did but less superheroic and more solving cases like a detective.

I feel like Zero Year was a pretty different animal from what Busiek is implying here
the Year One comparison is more accurate, just have more stories and cases during that period of time after he don the cowl
or even secret stories in the middle of ZY
I dont disagree with any of thisBatman family has so many characters if Batman has multiple titles it's better to give it to them. Sorta like what Tynion did but less superheroic and more solving cases like a detective.
I loved Tynion's run and I wish it was still going on right now
however that is pretty besides the point
there is no reason to not have both
we can have a LotDK kind of title besides a Batman Family kind of title running at the same time
I feel like it would be a little "been there, done that" with as many other "early Batman" titles we've seen, you'd just be adjusting for more modern continuity.
Not that I'm wholly against it depending on the approach/creative team.
Well, maybe having a tittle covering a young Bruce and other characters being published regularly would allow the main tittle to go forward, allowing the characters in it to grow old for a decade at least.
I think it could be a chance for getting out of the current neverending loop of Bruce being forever thirdy-something.
I've always liked the idea of a "classic" batman ongoing. That would follow the original dynamic duo in a never ending book of adventures. Like a Saturday morning cartoon show that could just be whatever the writer's wanted to do. Very Silver Age in that respect but with a more Bronze/Modern Age when it came to stories.

Buried Alien - THE FASTEST POST ALIVE!
First CBR Appearance (Historical): November, 1996
First CBR Appearance (Modern): April, 2014
Agreed.
I'd actually set this title roughly in the "Dick Grayson in college" era. That way, you get to tell stories with a solo Batman, while still getting Dick as Robin when required. The series would be heavily TAS-inspired, but with the odd Golden Age and Silver Age touch!
I'm no Kurt Busiek, but if I had his career, I would have done a series about the original Dynamic Duo set in the 1940s. And for a back-up series about the young Bruce Wayne, I would feature "Bruce Wayne, the Boy Wonder Detective," which would see the orphaned Bruce with his erstwhile butler, Pennyworth (Alfred's father), travelling the world in the late 1920s, solving crimes.
That's the thing... they already kinda do that before in Legends of The Dark Knight, and we can also count Man Who Laughs, Monster Man, Mad Monk, Long Halloween... unless you're talking about something timeless, as in, there's no time limit on this early days, just a series of short stories that doesn't affect canon.

Every post I make, it should be assumed by the reader that the following statement is attached: "It's all subjective. What works for me doesn't necessarily work for you, and vice versa, and that's ok. You may have a different opinion on it, but this is mine. That's the wonderful thing about being a comics fan, it's all subjective."
