Well, welcome to the new era, then.

Beginning with issue 125, not after 125.

Edit: so he'll be writing Batman and Daredevil at the same time then? Will be fun to compare.

[Drako]

Cool. Let's see what he has in store.
And with some focus on Tim Drake, thats good, he really need it.

[ayanestar]

The way Tim will be forever stuck as Robin because DC has no idea what to do with him lol but good for him, maybe it can lead to something bigger.
I don't think I have ever read anything by Zdarsky, but I heard good things about his writing.

[Matt Rat]

Bruce and Tim again. Party like it's 90!

[Vordan]

Batman and Red Batman at the same time? Zdarsky living the dream.

[Frontier]

Shortest main Batman writer ever .

In all seriousness, with Dark Crisis ramping up, it felt like Williamson was way too busy to be writing Batman of all things, and Zdarsky seems like he's mainly at DC for anything Bat-related so...not too surprising.

I'm actually kind of surprised Zdarsky is writing a flagship book for the Big Two again because it seems like he was kind of transitioning away from that. Although it's kind of funny he's writing both Batman and Daredevil at the same time. I think he'll do a solid job at least.

It's also kind of ironic that Williamson just brought Bruce and Damian back together only for Zdarsky to just bring Tim back as Bruce's Robin. Not that I mind, just kind of random.

I wonder how long this run might go for considering it's ultimately building up to taking Bruce off the board for Dark Crisis.

I'd kinda like Tim being Robin when Damian is still around to be addressed and clarified, hopefully by becoming Red Robin again, but we could always use more Tim in the world.

Well there goes my resolved to lessen my pull list in trying to be more responsible with my finances?

It really is kind of weird timing coming off Shadow War that finally has Bruce and Damian back together and Damian with the Robin solo.

Is Williamson still writing that?

I don't think I have ever read anything by Zdarsky, but I heard good things about his writing.

I'm sure I'm the 100th person to tell you this, but his Daredevil is really good. Don't think I've read any of his other writing, but Daredevil-to-Batman seems like a no-brainer transition.

His art for Sex Criminals is first-rate, too. It's always the right time for a Sex Criminals plug.

Anyway, I was a fan of Snyder's and King's runs, but dropped because Tynion's work leaves me a little cold. Now I might have to add this back to my pull list.

Is that what's going on? I'm not really keeping tabs on the bat fam these days.

I'm sure he'll continue that on in Robin. Bruce and Damian finally getting back together is more of a Damian story anyway, so having it take place on the main Bat-book over the long term might've turned some people off.

[Zaresh]

Oh. This is something I was expecting to eventually happen.
Yessss. Batman going streetlevel, again.
And I know it's not about something street level. But his writing is always about people and what happens to them, not about epic stories with people that happen to have a role in it. So, well, maybe grounded is a better word for it?

Finally!

Isn’t Bruce suppose to be dead?
