Might pick up B/S again, sounds interesting, will wait and see how the reviews on that is.

End Game has me very intrigued, teasing much DC?

"But what has he brought back with him? And who is the new Robin?" Oh no, please say they are misleading us on purpose, it's got to be Damian right? Unless Batman finds a random kid on Apokalips.
