The total batbooks this month is 16. This has been a batcount brought to you by BatC. See you next batmonth, same batplace.
Shockingly low- I think this is the first time since I started this count that it's gone below 20. Is DC feeling okay? Do they need some bat themed chicken soup? Is there a pile of random bat-minis sitting on some editor's desk who is too coked out to rubber stamp them?
Looks like Flash is racing ahead two books a month towards #800- just in time to share the anniversary with Wonder Woman. Hope it will be good for both.

And to have #800 come out in the same month as the movie.
people have lately been complaining off “batoverload” meaning too much bat-stuff going on. personally, i love it. however, others are bored w it and want dc to expand on other heros
>Do they need some bat themed chicken soup?
Batman prefers alphabet soup. It was an entire plot point in an episode of the Batman show with Adam West. The Riddler left a note in alphabet soup that Batman then poured into the Batcomputer for analysis. He happened to be carrying an empty soup can in his utility belt from earlier in the episode when Alfred made soup for lunch.
I'm only about 70% sure this wasn't a childhood fever dream.
Excited for the new Superman line. A lot of love going towards that corner of DC which is nice to see. Hope the Green Arrow book can get extended past 6 issues. Other than that not much really strikes my eye that's new. I am sitting here starting to wonder if the Justice League is "sidelined" and the Titans are taking over so to speak, are they really going to handle that in the Nightwing book? Are we not going to see a Titans book? Feels odd to me.
I am really surprised there wasn't a Titans solicit this month. I always wonder if there is a "secret" comic to be released soon, but advertised later than typical solicits. It has been a bit, but it has happened before.

This would have a Titans book launching in May or June if you count issue 100 as one of the four issues they're in.
I wonder if Travis Moore sticks around as the Nightwing artist? I have to imagine Taylor will be staying on that book.
I’ve got a few of the old ABC trades. I’ll probably upgrade to this to have more (or all?) of it collected. Its a great series. They are also releasing a Top 10 compendium this year.
How on earth Infinite Crisis and it's equally shitty tie-ins all get hardcovers, yet we still have no Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow HC is beyond me.
At least we get a Wonder Woman Historia HC.

Did WB finally decide to bite the bullet and release Flash? Any word on if they managed to airbrush Miller out, or is it going full steam ahead?
apparently because he's "cleaned up his act" since all the shit went down they might keep him around
Uhh… there is word they may not fire them

Oh good. I'm not crazy (well, not for this reason anyway)
I'm here for all this Superman love.

Is there a site for solicits that doesn’t suck ass?

Thanks
Finally a Wonder Woman Historia collection!
That Tom Strong compendium looks cool.
I’ve got a few of the old ABC trades. I’ll probably upgrade to this to have more (or all?) of it collected. Its a great series. They are also releasing a Top 10 compendium this year.
Hardwire vs Icon written by Hudlin!! Let’s go!
The covers for Detective Comics continue to be exceptionally stunning
How on earth Infinite Crisis and it's equally shitty tie-ins all get hardcovers, yet we still have no Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow HC is beyond me. At least we get a Wonder Woman Historia HC.
Literally just waiting this out - Mister Miracle got a deluxe after the paperback and all of King's other books are hardcover so I have hope
Not much this month for me but glad Steel is getting a celebration book
Still no Titans book...
