Honestly I'm not a huge Morrison fan. I did like his JLA and X-Men, but his Batman was inconsistent for me and I didn't care for RIP. I'm not a Quitely fan, but I actually liked his work on X-Men surprisingly.

Anyway that there is a star creative team. I'm sure there's going to be lots of people excited for it.

I'm guessing that's Dick and maybe Tim, BTW.


EDIT:
Apologies to Detourne_Me, I just saw this posted in the other thread.

I have read most of their Allstar Superman run and I gotta say they are a dream team. Hopefully they'll handle Batman & Robin the same way.

That Robin is awesome. He looks so pumped. Haha.

Nice to see them on another much-deserved high-profile book (albeit one featuring a character I don't have any fondness for), I loved them on We3 and All-Star Superman. Five'll get you ten we'll see more than a few delayed issues from these guys, though.

I seem to recall reading on a con panel or on LITG that Morrison will be working with different artists on alternate arcs.

They're a great team, and this is going to rock.

Looks this has come about due to the popularity of All-Star Superman and the unpopularity of All-Star Batman  ^_^

I agree that I've never really liked Grant Morrison's Batman, but if this takes place in the same universe as All-Star Superman (Morrison works best without being mired in continuity), I'm going to be very happy indeed ...

Yeah...I agree with the Damian Wayne part of that. That Robin looks way to young to be Tim at this point. I can't really say that I'm overly excited about this book...not a big fan of Quietly's pencils and certainly not Grant Morrison. I'll give the first ish a look and probably miss the rest.

This is almost certainly in regular continuity.


Damien Wayne is a good guess. And it'd make sense for Morrison to keep writing him.

Just taking an obvious guess... Batman'll end up being Dick Grayson.

Robin is not Tim Drake. I'm still going with Dick and Damien.

Yeah, I think it is Dick and Damien as well.
