They are still going though the batcat shippers and catwoman twitter is still calling for fans to boycott Tynion's run and they are still pushing that change.org sheet for people to sign to get them wed.
the book is coming along and the Baby was born now in her 30's, Bruce is dead and Selina is grey
At this point I really just want to see how Teen Titans ends. I don't particularly care for the direction of Damian in the book but I like the rest of the cast. I really not freaking out about Damian's future at this point. I wish they would do some different stories with his character. But at this I don't think its writers wanting this direction as much as DC editorial. I have a hard time believing every Teen Titans writer had the same idea for one character. But, the way I see it you only need one retcon or story to change the direction of a character. Wally went from Heroes in Crisis to Flash Forward so at this rate nothing in comics scares me anymore. I doubt this is going to stick for long. Nothing in comics does because of the constant change in runs.
Although I find it interesting they don't show Damian killing Brother Blood. My whole idea is what if he actually didn't. Damian doesn't actually have to kill any villains he just has to make them think that he will. Bruce does it all the time it's not about taking a life its about making villains scared to act. Think about how many crimes probably aren't committed in Gotham because a criminal thinks a Batman might hang them by their feet off of Gotham Harbor. Damian's just making it more extreme because the cases he's dealing with were more extreme than muggers. Anyone else remember the time Batman threatened to blow up Apocalypse or set Martians on fire in JLA? It's the same thing. I actually would prefer that storyline because it would cause Bruce to have to think about how his methods of crime fighting truly affect his son.

This is exactly what I thought, he doesn't need to actually kill again - more like maim or severely hurt. He did say he wasn't going far enough. Damian making other's think he will kill again in order to inspire fear reminds me of what Klaus from the Originals did in season 2 - He took the blame for a murder he didn't commit in order to get people to fear him more. DC seriously can't ignore the fact that he had a gun to Deathstroke's head and didn't pull the trigger, can they..?
I'm hoping this is The Other/Heretic framing him to create conflict between the Titans and Damian, then Damian and Bruce. That all spirals until he gives up the mantle for some reason. Then the Titans can go on their merry way - away.
Damian trying to instill more fear in criminals while also constantly whining about Bruce's methods, that are also based on fear, sounds kinda dumb. I don't mean your theory, I mean the writing. But hey, this book has tried to contrast Bruce and Damian several times and only made them more similar in the worst way.
The only problem is that Bruce always gets his ass kissed by DC while Damian is just one of many members of the supporting cast.
Honestly, revealing that Damian has been brainwashed by his evil twin is probably the only way DC could keep me from taking a nice, long break from their comics.
I just want to be able to forget that this comic exists.

We don't know for sure, exactly when he's coming back to Bat-comics. It can be Joker War, it can be Death Metal or it will happen next year.
I just noticed, that Bendis's finishing his Legion arc in September, exactly after Annual in August, and that will happen next is question for now. So, maybe it's possibility.
Anyway, we should wait for solitications this Friday.
Wait, Bendis finishing his Legion arc on September? So LOSH will end on September?
I don't think Damian join LOSH when every members see him as 'baby hitler' will be better than his status on Teen Titans right now. At this point I prefer Damian to cut all his ties with everyone and go solo somewhere like he did on RSOB. Perhaps they can bring Ravi back to provide Damian a temporary sanctuary place.
