Future State: Gotham debuts in May

[Drako]

I'm not worried about Jason because normal Jason's getting his own story in another anthology book.

I wonder if this will be the home of Future State Batman.

Isn't his home "The Next Batman: Second Son"?

I think Second Son is the origin story, how he got his training to be Batman in Future State.

That's a miniseries exploring his origin not an ongoing though. If they want an ongoing starring Tim/Jace, a Future State book a la the Rebirth Batman Beyond one would make sense but I still think this is gunna end up having a rotating cast.

Yeah, this Future State: Gotham will have a rotating cast. I think it's good, they setted up cool concepts for that future that can be explored and we have yet to see the fate of some characters like Damian.

Maybe after Second Son is concluded, they'll release a ongoing for Jace.

Now that I think about it, this is yet another Bat-Book .

Hopefully this won't be the only Future State sequel book in that respect.

Red Hood as a villain. I hope it sells.

I think the wording below - "starting with" - lends credence to this book having a rotating cast:

meh at best

[Stars & Stripes]

Is it gonna be a scenario where Red Hood kills a bunch of the Bat Family characters before he has a change of heart?

I'm down for this. haven't been a fan of his Future State back-up, but that has more to do with not feeling the premise more than the execution, so I'm willing to give a longer form story a try. Red Hood is in my top 5 and I do like the idea of seeing him fight the other Batfamily members, especially since he's obviously working against the Magistrate from the inside; that's his whole schtick. all they have to do is give me a good Jason and his All-Blades vs Duke and the black lightning Soultaker fight and they'll clear the 5/10 bar automatically for me

Is he? Doesn't come across as that, going by comments of other people who read the first issue. And the solicit for this series doesn't imply he does, either.

given the nature of the character, and his trepidation about going balls crazy like Ravager, I doubt Jason is just a random villain now. it seems more likely he's working against the criminal element (in this case The Magistrate) from the inside, as is his thing.

Rose's new codename ?

Jason didn’t exactly seem like he was drinking the Magistare kook-aid or particularly enjoying his life in the FS: Red Hood backup so I wouldn’t assume he’s a full on villain again.

With that said, now that Williamson has more issues I’m gonna need that “why?” to sell me on this approach. Be it a deep undercover Op, he was forced into it or whatever the case may be, there has to be a real solid motivation.
