It’s here at last—the sequel to the blockbuster weekly series BATMAN ETERNAL!
Five years ago, Batman and Robin worked the most disturbing case of their crimefighting careers—bringing down the organization of the ultimate human trafficker, the mysterious woman known only as Mother. At the time, Dick Grayson never quite understood the scope of that case, but now its darkest secrets are coming back to haunt him and everyone else who ever worked with Batman! With Bruce Wayne now lost to them, Dick and all his allies are out in the cold! Who can they trust? Is someone among them not who they say they are? And who is the deadly, silent young woman in black who’s come to Gotham City looking for Batman?
Prepare yourself for six months of international intrigue, twists and turns, and new additions to the world of Batman and Robin, from showrunners James Tynion IV and Scott Snyder, and writers Tim Seeley, Steve Orlando, Genevieve Valentine, Ed Brisson, and Jackson Lanzing & Collin Kelly!

Bat titles for me this month:

Grayson #13
Robin: Son of Batman #5
Catwoman #45
Gotham Academy #11
Midnighter #5
Black Canary #5
Gotham By Midnight #10
We are Robin #5
Harley Quinn #21
Red Hood/Arsenal #5
Batman/Superman #25
Batman and Robin Eternal #1-4

I'll be dropping 'Tec as of this month as well. Tomasi's Batman work is not my cup of tea.

[Dark_Tzitzimine]

Only Red Hood/Arsenal and Grayson for me.

[joybeans]

Grayson, Batman, Robin SOB, Catwoman, Gotham Academy, Midnighter, Detective Comics, and Batman & Robin Eternal for sure. May pick up a couple of others.

[SwampyCA]

Batman
Catwoman
Gotham Academy
Batgirl
Detective
Black Canary
Gotham By Midnight
Harley Quinn
HQ & PG
RH/A

Now that Vertigo has announced all these new titles, I will skip Eternal to save some money. I assume near the finale the will be a 99 cent digital sale and I can grab em then.

[Red obin]

Considering starting Grayson as the upcoming months look interesting. Should I get the TP book or individual issues?
Will be picking up red hood/arsenal as them combined with the new batman looks good. Might get batman and robin eternal,would like to see some bat family combinations in it like Tim and dick or Barbara and Damian. What happened to Robin war none of these titles even mention it?

[zwixxx]

Me usual - Batman, Batgirl, Detective & Batman/Superman
plus Catwoman cos Spoiler's guesting.

Did Batman Eternal but will tradewait the new 26parter - Haven't been following Grayson and with Bruce (probably) not appearing methinks I can wait for this and not miss out on anything important.

[Avi]

Grayson
Robin: Son of Batman
Catwoman
Midnighter
Batman/Robin Eternal

Waiting for trade: We are... Robin
Dropped: Gotham Academy

There is sadly only one TP book as of now. I favour it over the individual issues because it not only collects #1-#4 but also Secret Origins&Futures End. If you are hesitant to begin with #1 I would recommend starting with #9. Some things might be a bit confusing at the first read but it's a good jumping on point.
Robin War starts in December I think.

[quinnzel]

I'll be grabbing:

Grayson #13
Catwoman #45
Batgirl #45
Gotham Academy #11
Black Canary #5
Midnighter #5
Harley Quinn #21
Harley Quinn and Power Girl #5

[staypuffed]

Going to continue reading Snyder and Capullo's Batman, since it's absolutely brilliant.

I'll give Detective and B&R Eternal a shot, too, though I can't really keep up with a weekly book nor do I particularly like Tomasi's take on Bats.
