I'm in a state of flux....
Capullo - loved
Finch - ok
Daniel - great
March and Jimenez - good
Judging by Jorge Molina's work on Spider Geddon it doesn't strike me as enjoyable, which means sadly my time in Gotham may come to an end

Batman and Robin rides again!
Abyss looks cool. I mean Harvest looks cool too, but they ruined the writing. This one I'm more confident.
Also I thought Tynion leaving is still a long way but this is straight up after Fear State.

Great pick, have loved his Damian so far in Robin.
Really hope they stay away from Jace as Batman, as a What If Future it kinda works I guess..but this guy has no business being anywhere near the Cowl.
They've already launched a Jace-Batman book set in present-day continuity, I Am Batman. And Ridley has said he has plans extending into next year with something huge planned for the Fox family.
So it seems like we could see a redux of the Batman Inc era. Bruce leaves Gotham to travel the world, in Batman, while Jace stays on as Batman of Gotham in I Am Batman.
With Detective Comics doing a Shadows of the Bat event, I could see 'Tec either becoming a Bat-family book, similar to Tynion's Tec or Gates of Gotham, or do rotating arcs focused on the various Bat-family members, ie., a Tim Drake arc, then a Batwoman arc, then an Azrael arc.
Sigh. Not a fan of this choice. I doubt he has any interest in Catwoman.
That's kind of what makes Jace distinct from any of the Bat-Fam with claim to the "throne", he wasn't groomed for the role and he's not searching for or in need of permission from Bruce. His own view is that Batman was basically a soldier for call by Bruce and his father, so his idea is to take that symbol his father helped shape and put it to use for his own crusade against crime. I'm not even sure Bruce would attest to it, since Jace obviously wants to do the right thing like he would.
Loved his work on the Flash, but not sure if he's the best writer for a gritty street fighter hero, (his Roy Harper needs some work)
All that being said, I'll check it out.
