Greg Capullo to Take a Break from "Batman" for Project with Mark Millar

[HeWhoSlapsAll]

I am hoping for Romita Jr. to fill in! His style is better suited for Batman!

I actually like him too, but, compared to Capullo, that's a drop in quality comparative to dropping off a cliff.

Murphy, or Albuquerque, or riot!

[Metamorphosis]

His run on art has been phenomenal, and I'm glad to hear that he'll be returning.

Jock please or Maleev or lets see.....how bout Snyder and Risso? A man can dream.....

On this day DC sales department shed bucket of tears. Reports coming in that Jim Lee will himself will come out of the retirement to save the drop in sales.

Seriously though it would be cool if Jim Lee did an arc on Batman.

Jim did say he was past his feelings of being burnt out on Batman...

I'd prefer more American Vampire or Ei8ht from him.

What kind of pull does Millar have? Greg Capullo is pretty much the best selling artist in American comics right now.

Jim is working on All Star B&R 2 right now, so it won't be him.

I could see Tony Daniels doing it, and if Sean Murphy already his finished Tokyo Ghost's first 5 issues, it's possible he could draw the 5 issue arc. Snyder can just tell him he already lost capullo and that mark can't have all of his artists lol

Even split on profit plus there's a good chance of a Millar comic becoming movie.

Or Finch if he ends (I hope) his WW run.

And if he wants a short break, you allow him a short break, hoping he'll be refreshed when he comes back to Batman.

This. It's a super paycheck.

That's bummer. I hope whoever replacing Capullo will be awesome as well

[HeWhoSlapsAll]

Jock please or Maleev or lets see.....how bout Snyder and Risso? A man can dream.....

Maleev would be awesome, tho I think it depends on which Maleev we get. I think Hellboy/Illuminati Maleev fits the style of Batman that Snyder usually writes.

Tho, if Snyder decides to go Gotham by Midnight/Wytches in regards to a plot for the next arc, then he can go all out.

However, can Maleev do work for DC? I thought he was under contract by Marvel, but able to do other non-DC independent work.

[Batman Begins 2005]

This. Shame Greg will be gone for a bit. While Capullo is AWOL...Murphy, Albuquerque and Jock please.
