So, over twitter, the first details of this seem to be coming out. It's been known for a while that Snyder and Capullo were planning to work together again, that they had an idea for the Owls, and - mentioned more recently - that it would be a DCU-wide thing, or at least feature a bunch of DCU characters.
Well, according to Scott Snyder on Twitter, this is looking like Capullo coming on board All Star Batman for an arc - with elements that play into the other Bat Titles, and which might spin out into another story that would fit the criteria of "Massive Bat Family Event". It will "have elements in all books".
So, what do we think? Personally, I like Snyder and I like Capullo, but I'm not sure how excited I am about Night Of The Owls II: This Time It's Owlier - where there's a central Snyder/Capullo storyline and everyone else's stories go on hold to support it. At least "Night Of The Monster Men" saw all the titles meeting as equals....
On the other hand, some of what Snyder has done is truly excellent - and I like his "voice" for most of the Bat Family. So the central storyline, at least, could well turn out to be enjoyable. But I'm not sure it's what's best for the line...

Do we think this is where Tim comes back? I just hope Dick's "Robin War/Better Than Batman" recent history with the Owls isn't ignored.
