Lee Weeks drawing Batman (or anything) is always a treat!

Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.

Like I said, too much Harley.
Not sure what to think about the Runoffs involvement, though it works with Raptor's personal vipe and Blockbuster is more secured in his role as longstanding villain if he worked with Dick. Didn't expect to see Dick in Gotham Garage but I'm glad cause I thought as the original boy wonder with a bike he deserves to be there.
Still not sure what to think about the elseworld...
To me evil Clayface is better (especially after reading Batman Arkham Clayface) and speaking of the Arkham trades, I love those collections of different eras by villain but Joker's Daughter???
Thank you, DC for more Sean Murphy and John Paul Leon!

Nightwing's new book looks good and Raptor in his main. Nice.
When is everyone gonna get the memo that Biz is good now? I see the Supersons are targeting him does that mean the lil' supers get to tangle the Outlaws? I really hope so Jason and Damian rarely get to interact and lets face it those two teams are the best in DC right now so I would like a cross.
the Batman who laughs in JL and Bane conquest. Also looking good
Batman Beyond has been very good recently but this solicit doesn't give me much shame about Terry no longer being Bruce's kid though. More people should be reading BB.
Batman and the Signal well I hope this book surprises. It sounds good enough but not sure about the writer and from his questions on social media the guy doesn't seem to read Duke or the Batman books which has me worried but could also turn out to be a positive.
Superson and RHATO looking good as always.
King should really should marry those two and cut it out with the romance already this isn't Mills and Boon it's getting tedious for a payoff that won't have any lasting impact or fallout because the truth is if she says no disappointing and back to normal Batman. If she says yes married Bruce for a bit then ends or another writer will come along and retcon it or end it again we as back to normal Batman. So aside from shippers and lovers of romance this really a waste of a run from King. BatGordon was better than this.

I think King is going to do the right thing and not marry them but all along, we've been exploring that romance, which hasn't got good exploration since maybe Dini's brief stint with it.
Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
I'm curious, how many of the stories in that collection feature Basil Karlo?
We got plenty of ship tease in the New 52 but nowhere near as in-depth or meaningful as what King is doing (though it helps he's restored Selina knowing Bruce's identity).
