Rebirth- Batman by Tom King

[cheesebiggins]

Personally I'm super stoked by this decision. King has massively impressed me on everything he's done so far, and he's got a great art team to back him up. Excellent choice DC!

Does anyone know who the costumed duo on the front cover are though? I asked in another thread but nobody seemed to know.

No one I've talked to has any idea. They are either new or a completely new take on some old characters

Looks like some new characters, but yeah, this is exciting. I was watching a interview Scott Snyder had about all star batman and he mentioned duke thomas and damian wayne play a big part in this book with damian reacting to bruce training duke or something. Should make for some good family drama.

The Duke and Damian relationship is explored here or in ASB? guess it makes sense since King wrote Robin War,can you provide the link.

Probably my most anticipated Rebirth book, Snyder's run was awesome but I'm looking forward to King bringing a fresh new voice to Bruce. I'm even more interested to seeing how he writes some of the traditional Bat villains.

Probably not All-Star Batman given Snyder's aversion to Damian.

I like King, but I'm not a big fan of Finch, so I'm a little disappointed.

I'd be fine taking a break from Snyder, but he's got Sean Murphy (a fav), so All Star may be my bat-flagship...

It was likely mentioned in other threads, but... how long are people expecting Finch to stay on this before we get third artist?

I say 2 arcs?

at least one arc. They described this book as having artists for a full arc instead of switching every week

which is great since I'd feel rotating between Finch and Janin every issue may be too jarring, given the different styles.

Well, he's not trying to write or co-write, which should make him quicker.

It will be interesting to see how well the writers who are giving their artists alternating arcs manage the handoff, and whether the thought that went into the art pairings considered speed as part of the equation. I'm thinking we might get a lot more two and three-parters out of double-shipping so it'll be interesting to see what that does to the current writing-for-the-trade philosophy.

King should be fine though - he's had a lot of practice doing done-in-ones and short arcs in Grayson.

[Deniz Camp]

Maybe 3 issues. Will guess JRJR as an incoming -- he's fast, and the Snyder arcs appear to be shorter ones

I do think Finch is great when he's on his game, but when he's rushing... I mean, come on, Batman's fist is way bigger than his head on that cover! I'm very much excited for King and Janin though, mostly because I have no clue what so ever as to how King's sensibilities will translate into a spearheading Batman-title.

I'd be cool with him bringing back in and fleshing out the "Cycles of Violence" biker gang from Grayson. They seemed like fun and his Bruce seemed like he was having fun tackling them and gabbing with Dick at the same time.
