Batman comic books for October 2021 - What are you picking up?

[MajorHoy]

I think I've got the right dates / issues coming available this month, but feel free to let me know what may have changed.

Which of the following Bat-books will you buy / have you bought for October 2021?
Please note I have tended to focus on titles featuring Bruce-as-Batman.
There are a gazillion other issues this month featuring other Bat characters, but polls only allow for up to 15 options.

What I've come up with in terms of Bruce-as-Batman print titles (vs. digital-first comics) are

Batman #114 (10/05)
Batman #115 (10/19)
Batman: The Adventures Continue Season 2 #5 (10/05)
Batman: The Audio Adventures <one-shot> (10/12)
Batman: The Imposter #1 (10/12)
Batman: The Long Halloween Special <one-shot> (10/12)
Batman: Reptilian #5 (10/26)
Batman '89 #3 (10/12)
Batman/Catwoman #8 (10/19)
Batman/Fortnite One-Shot (10/26)
The Batman & Scooby-Doo! Mysteries #8 (10/12)
Batman vs. Bigby!: A Wolf in Gotham #2 (10/19)
Detective Comics #1044 (10/26)
Legends of the Dark Knight #6 (10/19)

and, of course, an "Other" option for things like I Am Batman #2; Batman: Urban Legends #8; Arkham City: The Order of the World #1; and so on, and so on, and so on . . . please, do feel free to list any and all Bat-related titles you're buying this month in a separate post.

I'll be picking up

-Batman #114/Batman #115: I'm invested in seeing the conclusion of Tynion's run on Batman, and while there's still a lot up in the air for the next three issues, I want to see what will be passed forward to subsequent writers.

-Batman: The Long Halloween Special: I'm interested in seeing what gets revisited in this one-shot.

-Batman '89 #3: I've been enjoying what I've read so far.

-Batman/Catwoman #8: I still think the big twist is that Helena isn't Bruce's daughter.

-Detective Comics #1044: Seeing as it's the kickstarter to the whole Shadow of The Bat weekly, I'm interested in seeing what Arkham Tower, in the middle of Gotham's city centre, is all about.

-I Am Batman #2: I'm catching up with this series, so I don't have a lot to say about this one right now. I saw the preview for it, I'm hoping that Anarky goes to Task Force Z, seems like whoever is in it will eventually be brought back to life (Arkham Knight, and we saw Anarky in Future State).

-Batman: Urban Legends #8: Having spotlight focus on Batwoman, Signal, and Azrael this month is pretty cool.

-Arkham City: The Order of the World #1: I enjoyed this a lot when I read it last night, it's a good strange, certainly feels like how Arkham Manor was during the Batman Eternal era.

-The Joker #8: Interested to see how Jim Gordon (had to correct myself, wanted to type Commissioner) gets out of this situation and how Julia Pennyworth will add to the story. Also, Harper Row being in the Punchline backup is an auto-buy for me.

-Catwoman #36: Admittedly, I'm catching up with the previous issues, so I don't have a lot to say about this one right now.

-Batman: Secret Files: Peacekeeper-01: I'm not sure about this, but I gave Miracle Molly's issue a chance last month.

-Robin #7: I've liked what I've read about this one, interested to see how the fights go.

-Nightwing #85: I feel bad for Tom Taylor that there isn't a smoother way to connect his story with Fear State, but hey if it helps set up Batgirls then I'm all for reading it.

-Task Force Z #1: I'm not sure if I should put this here, but in my mind it's tangental to Gotham and includes Red Hood.

I'm probably going to trade-wait on stuff like Catwoman: Lonely City and Batman: The Imposter just because my pull list is big enough right now, and we've got Batgirls and Robins coming up.

[MajorHoy]

I haven't voted yet . . . still on the fence about a couple of things.

I'll try to get to the comic book shop next week and then vote after that.

[exile001]

Arkham City: The Order of the World #1
Batman: The Imposter #1
Batman/Catwoman #8
Catwoman #36
Catwoman: Lonely City
Detective Comics #1044
Nightwing #85
Robin #7

I will skim or have skimmed most of the rest in my LSC.

[Pohzee]

None. I usually only buy Nightwing anymore and refuse to pay for crossovers. I'm honestly kinda cooling off on Taylor's run anyways.

Arkham City: Order of the World has my interest though, I'll keep my eye for it on DCUI.

Are you trying the new Robins limited series which includes Dick/Nightwing?

Isn't issue #1 available on DCUI now?

[TheKryptonMan]

I'm getting Batman , Detective , Nightwing , and I am Batman , and Long Halloween .

I'm on the fence about keeping Detective going weekly. Not sure about keeping I am Batman.

I really want one Batman preferably Bruce or Grayson. Jace temporary.

[Batman Begins 2005]

Batman: The Long Halloween Special (that hasn't come out yet, right?)
Batman: The Adventures Continue Season 2 #5.
Batman '89 #3.

[Lal]

Nightwing #85
Robin #7
Task force Z #1
The Long Halloween Special

The fear state event really isn't my thing, so I'm skipping the rest.

Next month I'll also add the Robin&Batman and Robins series, and the Detective Comics annual.

[MajorHoy]

Batman: The Long Halloween Special (that hasn't come out yet, right?)

Looks like it may have been bumped until October 26th?

[Pohzee]

There is no book I'd rather read less.

[Batman Begins 2005]

Cheers. Glad I haven't missed it.
