Grant Morrison will depart Batman and Robin to write Batman, Inc. Dan Didio confirmed at SDCC that there will be more than one Batman on New Earth...

I've loved Morrison's Batman tales over the last few years...but they may lose me here.

I have no problem with multiple Green Lanterns or Flashes, but let's stick with one Batman. (Bruce or Dick)

Hmmm, Batman West. A young Hollywood star loses the love of his life to a corrupt studio that seduced her with drugs and false promises. He vows to get revenge by donning the cape and cowl... Hollywood style!

He even has the Bat Limo

No, you stop.

I did.

I wanted to make a joke about sticking with dick...but I couldn't quite put my finger on it..

Eh TWO Batmen...this is bad. I mean I could see them trying to do what they did with Cap and Bucky where one's "Cap" and one's still unofficially cap just without the mask....

Hmmm I wonder how this will play out in comics "IT's LIKE HE's IN TWO PLACES AT ONCE"
Even better a Criminal Getting let off easy by Dick and then Encountering Bruce.

I Could see this working as one Batman for the Global threats and one dealing with just Gotham.

Stop being Batman.

I'm not sure how I feel about this either.

I think Bruce should either be THE Batman again OR be behind the scenes a la Batman Beyond

More Batmen means more of their arses getting kicked by Marvel! Yay!

Dude, Morrison does tell pretty creative Batman stories... how about we reserve judgement until we get the final product.

I called this awhile back. I figures it would be two teams of Batman, Robin and Batgirl with Dick, Damian and Stephanie on one and Bruce, Tim and Cassandra on the other.

I personally think that Morrison totally F'ed up the Batman universe and I was happy to hear that he was leaving. Now I'm disappointed that he is staying.

Check out Gotham City Sirens #2. Selina was trained to resist psychic coercion by Talia, and offers an explanation that Batman is in fact a full team of trained men devoted to keeping the legend alive.

Morrison says he was always working up to this, so maybe this was a seed planted early on?

Batman having a son sounded terrible,....until I read it.

Bruce Wayne "dying" and being replaced sounded terrrible,....until I read it.

Damian taking over the role of Robin sounded terrible,...until I read it.

Grant Morrison has made Batman a must-read over the last four years. I will certainly give anything he writes the benefit of the doubt and try it out, no matter how goofy or terrible it may sound. He knows how to sell the craziest ideas.

LOL

what a crock

sounds like Joey Q is secretly writing batman

2 batmen!??!!?!!?

horrible
