I like that suggestion of Bruce Wayne taking on an adviser role. At least Dick Grayson wouldn't lose his job that way. Alton – Thanks for the comment.

Some other role similar to Batman Beyond may be the course of events. If that is the case then why bring him back at all? The Green Arrow/Arsenal arc sounds a lot more interesting to me.I just wish I had picked up Cry For Justice this summer. Extra copies are non existant in this neck of the woods.All three shops have cut way back because of the economy.Arsenal's role has been on the back burner for too long.

I like DC dipping their toe in the water with books in a sort of manga-esque format (thick books instead of floppies), and I hope they can get them in front of non-die hard fans. (I have my doubts) One thing we do agree on Shag--I'll definitely be picking up the new Who's Who!! Funny, the main reason I might buy the Earth-One books is BECAUSE they’re free of continuity!

Now they just want to go into each main book and shake things up and have mini series about sideline characters we could care less about. What I don't need right now is another mini series on Arkham Asylum. Can't wait until DC puts out a mini series on each Green Lantern color, Not! To get off the subject, Kick-Ass one the better books right now. Where is #8? Coming out 6 months late, that's where? Purposeful delay by Marvel? Which they will probably ruin by having Kick-Ass 2 with the appearance of Wolverine....
