An Outburst of Batman Comics from DC!

DC has announced that starting from November 2010, 2 new Batman titles (Batman: The Dark Knight and Batman Inc) will be launched in addition to the current Batman related books that are being published every month.

Just would like to find out which of these core books you intend to get, which ones you are going to keep reading and which one(s) are you planning to drop (for those who are on a monthly budget)?

Vote away Batman fans! Multiple choices allowed! Smile

At the moment I can only afford to get Batman and Batman and Robin, so when I'll be going to university in october, I'll just stick with them.
I'm liking these titles atm, so I look forward to keep picking them up.
Who knows if you guys think the new titles are really worth getting, I'll take a gamble

Just when we thought DC was scaling down.....a third Green Lantern book, a second Flash Book, now two more Batman Books....sheesh.....I gotta eat and pay rent!!! What this means is I'll have to scale down even on the titles I love, having to study previews and forum reviews more intently to know which books to avoid and which to get.

I've already cut out all of Marvel (now that Jeff Loeb is leaving Hulk), Justice League of A. (since Superman and Batman, Green Lantern Hal Jordan, and Flash will have smaller if any relevance), JSA.....now I have to figure out if I want to keep Streets of Gotham, Green Lantern Corp or Emerald Warriors, which Superman title to drop, etc. I cut out all the Independents a long time ago (except for Elephantmen)......this may cut into my DVD collecting budget!!! lol.

I think DC may be forgetting that a lot of us have very shallow pockets during these tough economic times. Though the upside is that the writers/artists may try and outdo each other competing for our hardearned dollars/pounds and create wonderful stories that awe and inspire us right into banktrupcy....lol

I agree, Mr. Vulture. I'll probably end up getting just Batman, Batman and Robin, and 'Tec. Although, if you're counting the bat family books other than that, I'll add in Azrael and Batwoman (and maybe Knight and Squire). Although, let's be honest; I'll probably get them all.

For me, I plan to get all 6 core Batman titles but that means I will have to sacrifice my video game budget for that to happen. So, it's bye-bye DCUO! I'm giving you a miss!

There are four titles in there buy; Batman, 'Tec, B&R and Dark Knight. It doesn't really affect me moneywise as I recently cut my monthly pull list from 17 titles a month to three. The Dark Knight will be the bonus title for me, but if it's no good it'll get dropped.

I follow all of them except sirens and azreal. No, I really do( I even follow confidential)

I used to follow Confidential, until the "Wrath" storyline....which ruined it for me. I pay attention to the stories coming out in Graphic Novel form, and pick up the ones I think might be good. I'm definitely a Bruce Wayne fan, so I may keep picking them up just for his character.

I'll probably pick up all of 'em...I still read confidential (for the site, at least).

I hope they keep streets of Gotham going. Paul dinii and Dustin Nguyen need to be on a batman title.

I hope DC doesn't decide to publish anymore new Batman Titles apart from the ones they announced for November. Looking at all the Bat-related books, I think they are more than enough titles to satisfy any comic reader and Bat fan out there.

Sergiot,

I agree with you about Dini & Nguyen. I was sort of "iffy" about them after their Detective Comics run, but with the "Heart of Hush" storyline, and now the current storyline they have going in "Streets of Gotham"....they should definitely stay a team and on a Batman title.
