That is one big pile of hot garbage. Seeing it all in one spot is awe inspiring. Just..wow...

I think its the most inspired the line has been since the DCyou era. I'm looking forward to Nightwing and Robin myself.

I'm glad you are finding something in it. I just read Matt wagners run from 2006 and the man who laughs and was reminded of how much better it can be. Oh well.

True.

Also recommended: Wagner's The Shadow. Funny how I feel like Bruce has devolved into The Shadow: This guy you have no sympathies for fighting crime.

[prepmaster]

We truly live in dark times where the most interesting Batman story is being told in an anthology book while the mainline books are moving towards that boring Magistrate and other solo Batbooks are either not serious or mostly one shots. The failing of the mainline books is just because DC wanted a black Batman to fight against the police.

Living in the past is unhealthy.

Living in the past is unhealthy.

So is worrying about what others are doing.

Oh don't get me wrong, I love those stories you listed. They're some of my favorites and I wish we still had ongoings of the Year One era as I much prefer it to current Batman.

But as a franchise, I think that the line as a whole looks pretty good right now. The titles for the other Batman characters haven't had this level of creators or ideas since the DCYou's Grayson, R:SoB, and Batgirl of Burnside. Before that, that last real period of exciting ideas for the whole line was nearly a decade ago. So I'm looking forward to whats in the works.

That's great if you care about the Batfamily. If you are interested mainly in just Batman however...
