Looks like DC is expanding the Batman Universe

Dunno what to think, Gotham Academy sounds like a different genre than most DC books right now, could be interesting. Doesn't sound too much like Bat-book per se, other than Bruce being a benefactor.

Arkham Manor sounds like a really bad idea tbh. Since its supposed to be in continuity maybe something that happens as the consequence of Eternal? Sounds more like a concept for a mini series than an on going. Haven't read Duggan's Deadpool so i don't know what to expect.

Gotham Academy sounds potentially interesting. It'd nice if DC pulled that off as it would give them a little more variety in their line. I think the best move would be to put a recognizable kid in the cast, maybe a Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown, or Harper Row.

Arkham Manor I just don't quite know what's the story. Is the Asylum being put in Wayne Manor? Permanently? Sounds like a strange setup for an ongoing.

Still I appreciate DC trying something a little different.

I actually think Duggan might work in that comic, his Deadpool run when it gets dark and serious,.boy does it get dark and serious , I'm particularly talking about the one where Deadpool teams up with Cap and Wolvie
