    Well, I think it's great they're getting rid of "Batman Inc."...but I'm not happy about them keeping Damian around.

    And what about Tim Drake? No mention of Red Robin?

      If this relaunch is to simplify the DCU with the most recognized versions of the characters it makes sense for them to have only one Batman...But it also makes the last year or so a complete waste of everyone's time...Way to go DC editorial...

                  And he has a baseball cap and tats. He's a 92 Honda Accord painted camo and a d-bag chinstrap beard away from being the DC's first white trash superhero. Maybe his secret base of operations is Waffle House. Unlike a couple of titles, this does not look promising...

                    Damian has to go. Bring Drake back and send Jason Todd away also.(Not a fan of the Red Hood thing. It was a cool story when it came out and a story it should have been left at. Continuing his character is pointless.)

                    All these multiple Robin side kicks and crazy stuff should be done. Get back making it simple.
                    One Batman: Bruce Wayne
                    One Robin: Tim Drake
                    One Nightwing: Dick Grayson

                      Inc is back in 2012 and will be 12 issues, Morrison needs lead time to get to work on Superman and finish up Multiversity. Glad they kept Damian. I really thought Tim would end up taking up the Nightwing mantle with Dick staying as a Batman. I still wonder if its a smokescreen after seeing the first art from Nightwing. The red bird symbol on him might be a hint that its not really Grayson.

                        Damien...UGH.

                        So all of Morrison's work stands then.

                        I'm out.

                          Yeah I was hoping they would have ditched some of it too...But the light at the end of the tunnel seems to indicate that eventually Morrison will be off the book:

                          Says Morrison:

                          “Batman, Incorporated will continue through to Issue #10 and August’s shocking season finale that changes the Batman status quo yet again. The series will take a brief hiatus while I work on a major new project to be announced shortly. Batman, Incorporated returns next year with me, Chris Burnham and Batman: Leviathan, the epic 12 part conclusion to my 6 year Batman saga. Don’t miss it!”
                          I just wonder how much more damage will be done to the legacy in the meantime...
