Yeah, the book having to juggle two separate teams and future Tim...I think it's better the way the book ultimately ended up.
Let me understand: since the issue 1000 Detective Comics will become a two-in-one book, hosting the stories of "Batwoman & the Bat-Force" and "Red Robin and the Bat-Factor"? For now it seems to me a little weird, but if the stories will be good I will be happy.

«It's like kids trying to write stories for adults or something.»
There is an huge difference among write a good story and try to write a great one.
«Heroism is not about being perfect or always winning, but breathing hope into the hopeless.»
Batman's world isn't realistic. It's grounded in psychological realism… In real life, Batman's crusade would be a horrible idea.[…] But in the world Batman inhabits, it not only makes sense, it's absolutely the right thing to do.
Don't forget Detective was Batwoman's book at one point. So yeah, Batman himself may have been out.

I don't think we will see Batman in this "Batwoman and the Bat-force", because he would overshadow Batwoman and because I think it will be a team of vigilantes too aggressive for the Batman's standards, but he could appears in this "Red Robin and the Bat-factor", even if I think since "Pennyworth R.I.P." the Bat-family is officially dead.
Anyway I would love know what Tynion meant with "X-Force and X-Factor style team": if the examples are a powerful way to summarize what a person thinks, they are also a likewise powerful way to let other people misunderstand that thougth.

Force = black ops. Factor = investigations.

I disagree - I liked the glimpses we saw of Kate, Luke, and Jean-Paul working, and didn't think it distracted too much from Tim, Bruce, Cass, etc. Though as I'm sure will be no surprise, my biggest problem is that Steph's development was most inconsistent and backgrounded (even though #980 did a good job tying her together and honoring her history), and I would hope she'd have a bigger part than she ultimately did in the last 6 issues.

I think it's obvious he meant the more recent versions, certainly in X-Factor's case. The 90s government team concept definitely wouldn't work with Batman, and investigations a la the Jamie Madrox series definitely fits.

Sorry, I have given to you a misleading answer: I was pointing out how the use of the examples can be traitor. It was only a little rant due to the use to abuse of the example like it were a shortcut to explain ours own thoughts, without actually explain them.
Obviously I agree with you, because it seems the most logical interpretation.
