Batman Solicitations for July, 2012

[batGRRRl4ever]

And I'm not reading Batwing or really keeping up with that title, but I wonder how long that will be able to survive now that his first major arc is completed and he seems to be moving on to "random villains of the month with a guest star" type stuff.

I'm not really confident for the future of either Batwing or Justice League International, which he has now joined. I think both titles may be cancelled within the next year. Which is too bad as I am a firm proponent to get some more of both ethnic and sexual minorities out into comics.

I really dont understand why ppl are complaining about Batman & Robin, its in essence the Damian book, and it has been pretty good at that

the cover of Batman is definitely my favorite, its very simple but effective

Speaking as one of her #1 fans, she's just too goodie-goodie to fit in with a team of wanted criminals, three of which (Ev, Katana, Ivy) who seem to have no problem with killing which of course is Batman's #1 no-no rule. Of course it could work if we have a scene where Batman specifically requests for Batgirl to remain on the team for that reason alone, to keep an eye on them to ensure they don't start a body count.

Or she could make that choice on her own. Maybe Canary asked her to stay on the team to help keep Ivy in check. Anyways, I don't get why Canary is in gotham. I associated star city and green arrow with her.

I'm glad Batgirl finally has good cover artist. I love that painted look. I hope he stays.

If sales on JLI start to drop I'd expect them to do a creative team change instead of canceling it. Like what they did with Justice League Dark.

A lot of people have said this but Batwing fans should be nervous since OMAC joined JLI right before (or maybe after) they announced his book was cancelled.

Batwing will last a whole year i think. I love the cover.

3. I am more interested in Dick's appearance in Batwing than I am about Nightwing. Sorry Dick, but your series has been really dull and mediocre. Probably dropping after Night of the Owls.

Same here.

JLD's werent that low
also they moved a lot of writers
and were is the new writer of JLI if thats was the case?

i dont think it might be because it might cancel but to try to avoid it being cancel
i dont think it will work though

Also OMAC's main enemy is Maxwell Lord
who coincidently is also one of JLI's main enemies
i think that had more to do with his joining

Probably because it's really bad.

[Shimarenda]

I wonder why there's a big question mark on the cover of Batwoman.

2. So the multiple Robins thing in Batman and Robin is going to be the next plot, not just a one shot thing. Not sure how I feel.... Could be amazing, could be absolutely terrible. :/ I was hoping for a shorter arc after the one we just had, but I guess we'll see.

I would place my money on absolutely terrible. The last thing to expect from Tomasi is amazing. He's already butchered Damian's character so badly; this is not going to go well. I also expect to see the return of the trigger happy psycho Jason.

[ArnoldoAAD]

Probably because it's really bad.

what is bad about it compared to lets say batgirl or B:TDK

[FHIZ]

Yeah, Batwing should be safe for a couple more issues probably. They've got to give a chance with the Owls cross over and To coming on board, but still, I don't expect it to go on long after the year mark.

I really dont understand why ppl are complaining about Batman & Robin, its in essence the Damian book, and it has been pretty good at that.

Because it's been the most predictable book ever or at least that is why I've been complaining. It has nothing to do with characterizations for me now, it has to do with the way the story is being written. I've given it an entire story arc to impress me and it has failed to do so and this solitic isn't making me very confident about it's improvement at all. I'll hang around to see how #10 is but if it's more of the same then I'm gone after that.

As for the rest I'm looking forward to Batman, Nightwing, Batwing and Red Hood and the Outlaws the most.

I will be getting:

Batman
Batman: The Dark Knight
Batman, Incorporated
Batwing
Birds of Prey

The Batman and Birds of Prey covers are awesome and I especially like the Batgirl cover.

[Free-Man]

Why is Batwing going to China?
Oh well. A team-up with Nightwing with some lovely Marcus To art sounds fantastic.

Definitely getting that along with Inc. B&R, Batman, Birds of Prey and Batwoman.
