[El Sombrero]

Voted for Batman and Batgirl. Interested to see what Snyder does with Gordon and the new status quo, and I've liked Batgirl enough to continue with that, even though I thought the first arc gradually got worse as it went along. They're really milking Harley Quinn for all she's worth...

[The Whovian]

I'll be buying Batman and 'Tec as usual, but I REALLY can't wait to read Robin, Son of Batman. That book is going to be awesome! And if LB was doing the art on We Are Robin, I would be having a fanboy attack.

[Avi]

GRAYSON, ROBIN: SON OF BATMAN, GOTHAM ACADEMY and CATWOMAN will be picked up. Liked what I have seen about WE ARE...ROBIN but I am not certain what I'll think about it by #3.

The villain in BATMAN seems to be interesting; a good chance to look how Gordon is as Batman.

[Mirkku]

Grayson, Batman, Gotham Academy, Robin: Son of Batman, Batgirl, Red Hood / Arsenal, Batman / Superman, Bat-Mite and Detective Comics for sure.
Still waiting to see how We are... Robin will turn out by then.
