Looks cool. The art is amazing, Easton seems to be touching on some poignant stuff, and he knows his comics .
I get where he's coming from at a legacy standpoint even if I think it's an uphill battle trying to make Shilo a main Mister Miracle instead of Scott Free.
Dragging out the Bat/Cat hype as long as they possibly can. "Look, they met as kids! Kind of!"
Lmao copying this from Reddit:
Jesus Christ this is insane.This is infuriating. Literally 23 Bat-titles right now. STOP.
You CANNOT tell me that even half of these Bat-titles are even making that much money, or couldn't be folded into other books. Batman has more solo books than the entire Justice League combined.
12 solo Batman titles:
• Batman (ongoing)
• Detective Comics (ongoing)
• Legends of the Dark Knight (ongoing)
• Batman/Superman (ongoing)
• Batman vs. Ra's al Ghul (mini)
• Batman: Black & White (mini)
• Batman: The Detective (mini)
• Batman/Catwoman (mini)
• Batman/Fortnite (mini)
• Batman/Scooby Doo (mini)
• Batman: The Adventures Continue (mini)
• Batman: Reptilian (mini)
11 Bat-Family titles:
• Batman: Urban Legends (ongoing)
• The Joker (ongoing)
• Future State: Gotham (ongoing)
• Catwoman (ongoing)
• Harley Quinn (ongoing)
• Robin (ongoing)
• Nightwing (ongoing)
• Batman: Secret Files (ongoing)
• The Next Batman: Second Son (mini)
• Man-Bat (mini)
• Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity (mini)
Meanwhile:
• Aquaman has 0 titles
• Green Arrow has 0 titles
• Green Lantern has 1 title
• Flash has 1 title
• Wonder Woman has 4 titles
• Superman has 5 titles
• Justice League has 8 titles
• And all the "others" have 12 titles

I mean some of those I take off just because I see some as their own characters even if they are bat-family members, so Robin, Nightwing, Harley, and Catwoman, but even if I argue for that 19 isn't that much less. DC seriously needs to put out some other characters when some of these bat minis end.

Hey if they sell they sell! But I can’t look at that and look at how there are mainline Leaguers who can’t get an ongoing and say DC is in a good place. Will say this though: If this doesn’t cause Batfatigue on the same level as Wolverine experienced at the start of the 2010s, nothing will. So might as well fleece the Batfandom for every cent while you can.

Yep I agree. I just don’t think that the general audience’s lack of interest in the DCU outside of Gotham is a healthy sign for DC. Especially when you compare with how widely popular Marvel is as a whole. To me it’s a sign that DC has completely botched their job as caretakers of these characters.
