I imagine they keep Tynion how much really specific world building his pitch seems to be doing, and how the rumored Luke Fox is fairly prominent in it. It reminds me of Bendis and DeConnick's situations on Superman and Aquaman, and I'd bet both are staying right where they are for 5G.
"Mark my words! This drill will open a hole in the universe. And that hole will become a path for those that follow after us. The dreams of those who have fallen. The hopes of those who will follow. Those two sets of dreams weave together into a double helix, drilling a path towards tomorrow. THAT's Tengen Toppa! THAT'S Gurren Lagann! MY DRILL IS THE DRILL THAT CREATES THE HEAVENS!" - The Digger
We walk on the path to Secher Nbiw. Though hard fought, we walk the Golden Path.
Old money AND new money are both corrupt. I would really like to see a BATMAN title that is aware of this, and builds off that to show us Bruce Wayne navigating a world of scary elites with unlimited resources. See how he wages his war on them, or how he changes to survive.
Overall this sounds like a 'hard pass' till they announce a new team. With Ellis on THE BATMAN'S GRAVE I have my Bruce Wayne fix for now!
King didn't mean Dick's headshot to stick either. Maybe he needs to stop doing major damage to characters if he doesn't mean them to stick. Obviously he is wrong to think his "shock value" maiming and killing of characters would just be resolved and back to normal come next issue somehow given DC's tendency to make them stick AND the difficulty of realistically making it all go away in one issue. It boils down to a major problem with him: doesn't have enough respect for the characters & anything goes for some cheap shock.

There's some ideas here but I'm not sure it really makes any sense for the villains of Gotham to be terrified of Batman when they constantly do battle with him. Guess we'll see how it turns out.

The news of Jorge Jimenez in March has me hanging onto Batman for another two issues/one month. Jimenez is a LONG time favorite of mine (since Smallville Season 11: Olympus - what I wouldn't give for him to do a Wonder Woman run), and his covers look amazing!
