Final issues for Eternal, Batwoman and Arkham Manor.


Pretty great cover here

[Dylan Davison]

I am having a hopeful/wishful thinking moment and hoping that with all the canceled DC titles we may get a new series with Poison Ivy haha.

[nepenthes]

Any remaining interest I had in the main books is dropping fast, to the point where I could very conceivably be skipping them by March (Batman, Tec, B&R, Eternal). It's all about Grayson, Catwoman, Batgirl and Midnight these days.

I am having a hopeful/wishful thinking moment and hoping that with all the canceled DC titles we may get a new series with Poison Ivy haha.

Ja if they want to relaunch The Outlaws starrings Jason Todd, Kate Kane and Poison Ivy, I wouldn't mind . Eitherway looking forward to seeing where Kate ends up next.

I hope Jason Doyle has a few tricks up his sleeve for Damian and Batman & Robin too.

A decision Barbara made during her darkest days in Gotham City returns to haunt her! What was it? And how does it tie into the evil impostor Batgirl? Find out here!

Assuming this is something from the Simone run...any guesses what exactly?

Looks like we've not seen the last of Dagger Type also. Which is great.

[berserkerclaw]

Looks like dick is, having problem in, his new job lol

[Rac7d*]

Once again, the damian has superpower thing is scarring me. He either has to loose them or leave since, it will corrupt the partnership.
Then I guess they can bring in cleanse gotham of the former robin and start introducing bluebird, blackbat, spoiler and Duke

[coffeelad]

Looks like we've not seen the last of Dagger Type also. Which is great.

I don't think the solicit is referring to Dagger Type. The 'evil imposter Batgirl' mentioned here is the one who knows that she's Barbara, put out a hit on her, and hired Dagger Type to impersonate her. If you check Batgirl #39, it mentions Barbara finding out the identity of the fake Batgirl who's been haunting her.

[JasonTodd428]

My list:

-Batman #40
-Batman Eternal #48-52
-Batman 66 #21
-Catwoman #40
-Detective #40 and Endgame
-Gotham Academy #6 and Endgame
-Gotham By Midnight #6
-Grayson #8
-Harley Quinn #16
-Red Hood and the Outlaws #40

[HeWhoSlapsAll]

Good move to cancel Kate's book; she better get a new, major billing role in a new book after Convergence and Darkseid War.

I'd rather it was Jason taking on an army of Joker zombies, alone, but that cover with Babs on the bridge is pretty beast.

Love that Batman vs Joker cover tho; makes you think Bruce will actually finish the dude off.

Finally, I hope that the Outlaws do break up; I want my Jason solo book, and am interested in Roy going back to Star City. Hopefully Kori can land in either Lobo or JLU.
