    I wonder, do they even realise how easy to get it earlier? People have been doing it for months, lol, such a lazy thing.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    We're probably in the vast minority of people that checks.

    More disappointments than things that really interest me. I'll save specifics for other threads.

    Superman and Robin Special... by Tomasi? The Super Sons are back! The solicit calls it their final mission though....

    Also I see Zdarsky's writing a new origin tale called Batman: The Knight.

    Someone has to say that - another freaking Batman title.
    Where is ''I Am Batman'', by the way?
    The solicit calls it their final mission though....
    Maybe it's symbolical thing, like, it's their final mission as Super Sons, and from now on they're Superman and Robin, something like that.

    Ah, there’s the reason Zdarsky had to write a c-tier Justice League story.

    Haha I thought the same! But man even as Batman stories go this feels uninspired.

    I wonder how many guest appearances will be in "The Knight." You'd think we'd get Zatanna and her dad, Henri Ducad, and maybe Thaddeus Brown. I might be forgetting if there's any other established hallmarks of Bruce's training.

    I guess they can use Ted Grant now.

    Could be Tomasi's final word on the Super Sons before he officially tags out with Mark Waid to be DC's new persona non grata.

    Even though it's yet another Batman origin, they hit me with one-two punch of Baby Bruce Wayne and Sexy Young Bruce Wayne covers. Like how am I supposed to fight that? Even the main artist is my taste. So it's a three hit combo. AND it's by Chip. So it's a full combo.

    Meanwhile in Robin, more of the al Ghul family is revealed so that's on the bag.

    Catwoman looks amazing, with the author reestablishing her bi status

    Looking like it's my taste on the Bat side

    Having Tomasi write a teen Jon team up with Damian feels so wrong. Almost like when a company sets up some mid level employee to be the fall guy and sacrifices him to the public when the company has some big scandal over their head. It also astounds me how much they butchered Jon's character by aging him up and ruining such a fresh take on superhero stories that you don't see much at all anymore.

    I bet Deathstroke shows up. DC really wants him to be a Batman villain. So gives them an opportunity to have him and Bruce face off before the Titans were ever a thing.

    Looking at the preview for Dark Knights, I'm guessing that's King Black Lightning meeting the Amazons?

    I guess that's one way to take that line. Either that or it's being self-referential that there will be a bunch of scantily-clad ladies along with Selina because of the strippers .

    I'm happy to see Tomasi write it but Superman and Robin sounds weird when it's Jon and Damian.

    I mean, timeline-wise, Slade would still be in the military? I guess? I don't think he'd even have had his kids by now.
