[Katana500]

I think Catwoman might say yes! Makes me happy! Atleast the Supersons Solicit makes me think so!

[Frontier]

Thoughts:

- "Batman may own the night, but with new villains emerging during the day he needs an ally to defend the city when he can’t." I don't have anything personal against Duke, but that just sounds like a really silly premise for a Superhero .

- Red Queen looks interesting, if nothing else.

- All those ladies in Birds of Prey should be fun. Let's celebrate the women of the DCU .

- Judging by that cover...is Batman fighting the League of Assasins? Is he going to confront Talia?

- So Tom King's going to use the annual to chronicle the romance between Batman and Catwoman. Should be interesting to see how that's handled and if we get some kind of condensed overview of their relationship from beginning to end using past continuity. Plus, Lee Weeks .

- Looks like we're potentially seeing Clayface's return to villainy set in motion. And I guess this Cabal is Ra's, St. Dumas, and maybe the First Victim?

- Looks like we're getting a post-breakup Nighwing vs. Defacer fight. That shouldn't be awkward at all. Wasn't expecting a Blockbuster team-up to take on Raptor either.

- I wonder if the thing that shakes Damian up is Batman telling him about the proposal/engagement?

- Not that I don't mind a Titus/Krypto team-up but did everyone forget Ace is back?

- Dark Trinity behind bars was probably inevitable at some point. Also, I just can't take the idea of Harley as leader of the Suicide Squad seriously.

-Bane as a parental figure again? This is going to be fun.

[Assam]

- "Batman may own the night, but with new villains emerging during the day he needs an ally to defend the city when he can’t." I don't have anything personal against Duke, but that just sounds like a really silly premise for a Superhero .

Let it die, let it die, let it shrivel up and die!

All those ladies in Birds of Prey should be fun. Let's celebrate the women of the DCU .

I'm still buying this under protest...

Looks like we're potentially seeing Clayface's return to villainy set in motion. And I guess this Cabal is Ra's, St. Dumas, and maybe the First Victim?

Once again, if Basil turns evil we riot!...oh, and I agree with you about the Cabal. Maybe Ulysses too?

Looks like we're getting a post-breakup Nighwing vs. Defacer fight. That shouldn't be awkward at all. Wasn't expecting a Blockbuster team-up to take on Raptor either.

So happy I dropped this trash.

[DragonPiece]

Tom King is probably the best thing to ever happen for bat cat shippers lol. Bats out of hell crossover looks somewhat interesting, definitely filler, but maybe the writers can do something interesting. Plus Liam Sharp on art is something to be excited about.

[Chubistian]

Really looking forward to King's stuff. I have a feeling that "Dream of Me" could be his weirdest arc yet
