Willamson Taking Over Batman After Tynion

[Batman Begins 2005]

Morrisonbros we are feasting. Feels good seeing both the Batbooks and Superbooks take a lot of cues from Morrison’s stuff.

This. Love Grant Morrison especially his 2006-2013 run on Batman.

Everything about this is a meh from me.

Williamson is a decent writer but he's kind of DC's go-to guy at the moment and his books range from fun to awful (I'm looking at you, Infinite Frontier). Williamson's Flash run was pretty good (especially the first half) and I'm liking Robin, which I mostly picked up for Connor Hawke, so maybe he'll surprise me.

However, I never liked Batman Inc as a concept, always hated the suit and don't particularly like Damian so I guess I'll continue to skim read Batman in my LSC.

Thankfully, we still have Mariko Tamaki on Detective Comics.

This villain is ABYSS?? For a moment I thought that it was Maya Ducard father again.

Is now the time to catch-up on those Robin back issues?

It doesn't feel like anything we seen so far is relevant to Batman, but its pretty good series so if you like Damian you should get it.

What makes you say that? He even gave Barry a few Catwoman-type characters...although Selina's still in Gotham so she and Bruce will probably be separated for a while.

Well, one, anyway. Meena Dhawan, aka Fast Track, later Negative Flash when she became a villain. It didn't take long until Barry got back with Iris.

The other new female creation, Avery Ho, ended up becoming a second sidekick alongside Kid Flash, after New Super-Man and the Justice League of China was cancelled. And she's 100% a hero.

Y'know, the more I look at that image, the more it reminds me of The Reaper.

There was some flirting with Golden Glider, too.

Wasn't that one-sided on her part?

[Darkspellmaster]

Yeah, I couldn't be any more excited for this even if I tried. I get my master's degree in December AND a Williamson Batman book. Happy graduation month to me!

Same for me! Cheers!

Well, he didn't turn her down that hard.

Definitly liking that Williamson takes over.
Not a huge fan of the Suit because im all for Armored Batman suits...but its either way, whatever works.

Only thing i dont like is that whole "Bruce leaves Gotham" thing, its a change of scenary for sure...but i dont like it.
For me Bruce and Gotham are intertwined.
We will see how this goes...i give it a chance.

It all depends on how long Bruce is gone from Gotham City.

Right now, Gotham City seems toxic for "masks", and there are definitely people (not just criminals or self-serving politicians) who don't want Batman around, buying in to the argument that Batman attracts masked psychos like The Joker. (And in a way you can't argue against that idea that many of the threats to Gotham have been caused by criminals challenging Batman.)

As long as Bruce doesn't seem to be intending to transfer Batman permanently to another city, this could have possibilities.

But you'd think the same effect would be applied if his family stays. Well, that and Jace Batman, but Bruce has no control over that.

How much of the Bat-family is currently based in the Gotham City city limits these days?

Are Dick and Babs based more out of Blüdhaven?

Where's Damian currently?

And how much time is Tim spending in Gotham City?

NOTE: I'm not actively reading the Bat-titles at present, but that may change when Williamson takes over.
