Talk about Batman in the Batman thread
Dick Grayson is an awesome Batman and I've read each issue of Batman & Robin like 10 times each because they're so great

what have they down to our favorite Robin
I hope they can get Red Robin up to muster... Tim is my favorite in the Bat-family and it pains me to see him ill-used.
Take Judd Winick's Jason Todd and then remove the whole killing people thing and you've got Red Robin!
Like, so far, the story isn't terrible? But it's not Tim Drake at all in any way
I'm hoping his guest appearance in Adventure Comics will be good. I was hoping that he'd be fine in Blackest Night: Batman, but he was worse!
Dick calls him up like "Tim, it's Dick." and Tim goes "I told you to leave me alone" and I was like "wow someone's a thirteen year old mad at their parents"
DC does have a bit of a history with taking good characterization in the Bat people then kind of throwing it under the bus, eh?
And oh my god Keith is that real
It's worse then that though. I mean, his whole "searching for Batman" thing is just so illogical and weird. I mean, he's just sitting there one second and decides Batman is alive for no apparent reason.
It pretty much is exactly how Jason Todd would react to everything... and it is kind of frustrating.
Well, he has an actual clue now. And I think I read in an interview that he has a real reason for thinking it and that it will be revealed later?
Which means "covering up our tracks"
The whole book is like that, though.
It's set in some sort of nonsense time where nothing really makes chronological sense.
But, yeah. Pretty terrible. And some people were really impressed with it too, which is kind of sad.
Also, I hadn't read any of the Cass Batgirl until today, but Batman was just like that every time he showed up.
Was this the dreaded 90s/early 00s Batman that DC wanted to move away from with Infinite Crisis? Was he seriously like that in every book for just under two decades?
He's rash.
Do we need spoiler tags?
Pretty much this.
I was referring to Jason Todd as Robin. Not Jason Todd as... well, whatever he's become since his return.
Is there some reason you wouldn't need to spoiler tag spoilers?
Eh, I thought it was pretty mediocre.
Also, to refute what Lucascraft said in the last thread, Cass' series did not sell poorly. It was her mini-series that sold like crap but there's a lot of reasons why that happened (they'd fucked her up for the previous 2 years, Batgirl fans hated Adam Beechen and the writing was absolute crap). The mini-series seemed to be set up to fail, just so Didio could justify getting rid of Cass.
And Chuck Dixon should come back and write something, but noooooo.
Geez Bruce, can't you let it go for five minutes?
maybe like the taco bell avenger
or the noid
I also have to say I've really been enjoying Dick Grayson as the new Batman. I've been reading Streets of Gotham and Batman and Robin and both have some excellent characterization. Damian is even growing on me a little bit and I hated the idea of him when he was first created.
Also how has Detective Comics been? I dropped it when Dini left and I'm curious how it's been.
Interesting, at least. The only time I've really enjoyed Rucka's writing was in 52, and so I was hoping to really love Batwoman & Renee in their own book. Unfortunately, I don't think it reads very well in singles.
Maybe wait for trade on it, would be my suggestion. However, it should be noted that Batwoman and The Question will be flipping places occasionally, and that their stories will most likely be collected separately, so waiting for trades may be kind of shitty as well.
However, his character design of Alice is pretty great.
The story itself has been good.
I am LOVING Streets of Gotham, though.

Still, you really should read some of the Batman trades from just before Battle for the Cowl, specifically Morrison's run on Batman. Otherwise, when Morrison starts referencing stuff like Batman #666 and Batman RIP, you won't have a clue what's going on.
Also, awesome news about a Batman Beyond book but I'm not keeping my hopes up. They're bound to fuck something up, like getting someone that's not Paul Dini to write it.
