I picked up and read Batman #2. In broad strokes, the writing is smart and strong, the art is pleasing to look at and I'm really enjoying the series.

 

There are occasional odd moments along the way where I'm not entirely sure what's happening on a page ... seems like the artist sometimes has trouble clarifying where characters and things are in relation to each other? ... but nothing I can't get past. It's fun to be reading Batbooks again.

 

I like too that some tough new villains are being introduced... much as I like the traditional rogues' gallery, it seems like a great way to freshen up the character and the series. Looking forward to #3.

I gave JLA, Batman, Batgirl, and Catwoman a shot.

 

Hated JLA, wasn't in love with Batman. Batgirl is alright so far, but I love Catwoman, the pacing, art, and story in Catwoman is fantastic. I'm alright with her hyper sexuality, as that's how I've always perceived Catwoman to be.

True that!

I read Batman #4 the other day... (no spoilers ahead, just general comments)

 

I've enjoyed this storyline a lot, but this was more of a filler issue, nothing really wrong with it and some nice touches along the way but it didn't advance the plot very far.

 

IMO, the first three issues did a fantastic job of setting up the mystery and building up suspense... I'm curious about next issue but am starting to worry that the payoff can't possibly live up to the setup. We shall see... hm

Well, it looks like the ax has fallen on the first of the New 52, but more titles are on their way:

 

Out - Men Of War, Mr. Terrific, O.M.A.C., Hawk and Dove, Blackhawks, Static Shock

 

New - Ravagers, Dial H for Hero, Worlds Finest (Power Girl & Huntress), Justice Society, Batman Incorporated, GI Combat (dealing w/Dinosaur Island) + Unknown Soldier & Haunted Tank

That list doesn't surprise me much, although I had heard OMAC was very good and finding it's grove the past few months.

 

I think when they announced Hawk and Dove everyone was wondering where the hell that idea came from, I know I was.
