It’s a pretty solid book up to issue 25 where the fight happens. There’s a couple tie in issues to Bruce Wayne: Fugitive/Murderer that are actually fairly solid too.

Covok posted:Oh, I get ya now, fam. She still has that (or at least she does through the original run). What's irritating about how people wrote Cass is similar to how they write X-23 in that nobody but the people on her main book pay attention to the character development they had. It was really bad for Cassandra. Some writers (Chuck Dixon for one) decided since she wasn't good at speaking meant she should speak in these sentence fragments. I mean, Cass is usually terse, but she talks in complete sentences. Usually with some ellipses, granted.

Of course it was the decision of just one higher up. It's always the decision of just one higher up. Hopefully the internet backlash means that they go back from this decision and let King finish his run in his own terms. Even with all its faults (And there are many) I really enjoy it. Cancel Heroes in Crisis instead.

I realize I'm saying this from the combination comfort/terror of unskilled corporate labor, but I feel like if I was King and the came back and asked me to write the issues right after cancelling the issues I'd politely ask them to kiss my rear end.

Yeah King and Gerard seem to have enough clout that they could be going off and making bank at an indie book, at least for a while.

"12-issue BATMAN/CATWOMAN series by Tom King and Clay Mann" Told youse it was marketing BS (e: or just him not being able to clarify to people why ending Batman at #85 wasn't a big deal till now, letting speculation run wild.) So Batman, plus this, plus Elmer Fudd and Annuals makes over 100 issues anyhow. edit: "allowing DC to incorporate the monthly BATMAN title into the larger DC universe and continuity" I dunno what they mean by that.
