Out of all of this, I'm most bummed by what has become of Tim Drake, who for years became more interesting to me than Dick Grayson. I think he needs a fun team-up with Bart Allen and Connor Kent (does he even know they're back? I've missed a lot).

I'm always willing to give Morrison another try, despite the last two events he helmed. His hit rate is always around .750 with me. Winnick, on the other hand, I have forever sworn off. I seriously want that man back at Marvel and away from some of my favorite DC characters.

I've enjoyed Rucka immensely in the past, but for some reason his Crime Bible stuff just never caught on with me. Sad to hear he's still using it in Detective now (and with Batwoman again! That characters whole existence/appearance seems to be tied up with Crime Bible thus far. Expand!).

@Gaambit: You'll definitely want to check out Adventure Comics #3 in a few months, as I'm pretty sure the cover promises a Red Robin/Superboy team-up.

Hey, Williams wasn't the book's colorist, so you can't blame him for how pale she looks.

@DocSeuss: True - it's more a problem with the art in general. It's a little like whatever you see on the screen is the responsibility of the director, one could argue. Either way, I should have been clearer.

@ Graeme: You LUUUVVVVV Batman: Brave and the Bold and you're criticizing Grant Morrison use of outlandish characters? Not that I'm directly comparing the two - Grant Morrison is a genius - Batman Brave and the Bold is one of the most retarded cartoons I've ever seen. One clearly has questionable taste if they prefer the hideous Cartoon Series over the wonderful BATMAN RIP and FINAL CRISIS.

However, given that Grant Morrison is the ONLY reason I've deigned to buy a Batman comic book in like FOREVER, Clearly, Grant Morrison's Batman is the best BATMAN HAS EVER BEEN.

@SnehalMarten: You might want to double-check the byline, although I can understand the confusion (it's because I write in a Scottish accent, isn't it?).

Either way, I've got no issue with Grant Morrison's outlandish characters. I love most everything he's done from Animal Man to Doom Patrol to the Invisibles, and I'm generally well disposed to Final Crisis and (especially) Batman: RIP. I'm just saying that this new book will appeal even to those left cold by his last two works.

There's one panel where she looks more like V from V from Vendetta than anything else, and that was a guy wearing a mask.

"Guy wearing a mask" - for the record, the pun there is only very, very slightly intended. But I was aware of it!

@Alasdair Wilkins: That first bit was meant to be in italics, by the way. I really do need to learn how to do formatting in these comments.
