• Anyone else see any number of useless, pointless fights that in no way advance any story expect to point out needlessly that Mr. Wayne is needlessly confrontational and Mr. Grayson goes out of his way for Mr. Wayne's acceptance. Still, if at any point this has the both of them with swords, and Bruce declaring: "there can be only one", it'll be worth it.

• There can be only one!

• Delicious fanfic waiting to happen, I presume.

• At which point the psychiatrist just gives up.

• I guess it might be hard for Dick to return to Nightwing, cause once you go Bat...

• "touch" .... go me, way to screw up my own joke.

• At which point the psychiatrist assigned to Robin stares in horror...

• Robin: "Shit man, how about I just poke the bear in the places he didn't tough me?"

• Imagine the Bugs Bunny style possibility of a villain running away and encountering a Batman at every turn. I think it may be cool, since nobody since its hard to dislike Dick as Batman. It seems less like a gimmick and more like an attempt to please all the fans. It would make it easier to have Batman in outer space doing crazy stuff in the same month as he's in the middle a year-long earth ordeal. Also, Batman fighting aliens and teleporting to the moon regularly has always been a wierd thing that makes street crime seem trivial. One of these guys should have th courtesy to change their bat symbol at least.

• Now Robin, point to the area on the bear that Batman touched you...

• Middle Batman is pounding Robin like a bad Uncle...bad prosecutable Uncle...He even has a creepy pedophilic look on his face. What the fuck is wrong with this artist?!?!

• I was going to make that point earlier but I just didn't remember enough Marvel character names. So thanks for making it! Seriuosly, I prefer Marvel over DC myself but it has NOTHING to do with the stupid names comic writers insist on giving their characters.

• Seems odd to me to keep Dick in the cowl. He's never wanted it. Tim or Damian maybe, but not Dick. If they split off the teams to Bruce, Tim, and Cassandra (who is coming back soon) and keep Dick, Damian, and Stephanie together, I can guarantee what series I'll be reading. Steph is instant poison to any series.

• Flaming Torch doesn't have lightning powers. Ahem. I'll shut up now.

• At least Morrisson's got Yanick in his pocket. Okay, what did you want me to say? DC is copying Marvel in the neverending comic imitation war? Makes sense since employees of both companies have switched over multiple times now. You could almost refer to them as a seamless entity.DC/Marvel Co? MarDComics?

• Most Batman cover ever

• the image looks like Damian and Dick are flying through air as bruce just poses and watches . and two batman means both who like Bruce in the cape anc cowl and those who like Dick in the bat suit get their wish.

• I'm sorry but that's about the dumbest reason to dislike DC. I can get behind the lack of real character change to preserve them as icons....but the names!? You're just grasping for straws. Please stop while you're so very behind. Spiderman (he has spider powers?) Dr. Doom (is he evil!?) Flaming Torch (does he have lightning powers!?) Captain America(wonder what his deal is?) Captain Britain (see above) Antman (insert sarcasm here) It goes on and on and it pertains to both publishers.

• Don't they already have that with X-23 and that son of his on the Dark Avengers in the old school brown costume?

• They need to work Tim into this as a second Robin. He's better paired with Dick, but I think the Dick / Damien dynamic is too awesome to let go. Or have they killed him off in the past couple of months where I've been too busy to keep up?

• As with just about everything, it's all in the execution. Grant Morrison has done more than one comic with a basic idea that doesn't sound all that great, but turns out to be pretty amazing in the execution. I trust him to do a great job at this point.

• Words right out of my mouth.

• Worldwide Bat-squad. Well. That makes me want to read that about as much as reading about Superman walking across America. But I guess comics just arent made for me anymore, so hopefully SOMEONE enjoys 'em.

• This news has been out for weeks, and a bit more information has come out in that time. Basically, all the shit that Bruce has been through the past couple of years has changed his perspective a bit. Batman Inc will follow him as he travels the world deputizing crimefighters as a sort of worldwide Bat-squad under his control.

• It hasn't gone anywhere, the book is still coming out every month. And it has been amazing.

• I think it's a good idea. Just one step closer to the "Kingdom Come" old-man Batman with his army of transforming Batmobiles. Also, pretty sure "Batman Beyond" takes place shortly after "Kingdom Come."

• well put

• It's surprising enough that they're taking this route, even more so that it looks like Dick could be considered the "alpha" Batman, since "Batman" and "Batman & Robin" are the flagship books in this whole Batman cluster&$@!.

• Its worth pointing out that post the return, that Batman and Robin won't be written by Grant Morrison

• ....what?

• Kids these days... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_vs._Marvel

• to me it it looks like the middle batman is pounding Robin in the ass while Catholic Priest Batman supervises. Doesn't help that robin looks like he's got a mouth full of nut, and is desperately seeking the trash can to spit it in. - If I hadn't had taco bell for dinner the last two nights, and feel like shit from it, I would so totally complain that I just lost my appetite: but I didn't have one to begin with, so no big loss.

• Hey, they stole the idea from Axe Cop's Malachi Nicole. http://axecop.com/index.php/acask/read/ask_axe_cop_42/ Maybe Batman 2 will eventually become Bat Warthog Man.

• If he's still around he'll just have to label them. Put a sticky note on one or something.

• I think Steve is now "Super Soldier", and he has his own Secret Avengers and whatnot. Bucky just had his identity (including the Winter Solider assassin stuff) exposed in the main Captain America book, which is supposed to make everyone (in the Marvel U) upset that he, of all people, is Captain America (even though they just had Norman Osborn as like, leader of The Entire World's Security).

• i just cant stand the fucking character names in DC universe. it is all soooooo fucking hack.

• You would think Commissioner Gordon could figure it out now right? And as for Cap, my vote is for Steve Rogers to get his The Captain (US Agent) suit back and go that route. And I know I am in the minority here, but I can't stand the artwork.

• Isn't this the same thing that's going on with Captain America? Now that Steve's gotten over being dead he and Bucky are both Cap... or something like that?

• Really? Even the Elongated Man?

• Anyone else reminded of 'I'm Not Wearing Hockey Pads'?

• Commissioner Gordon is going to be really really confused.

• I'm gonna give Batman & Robin another chance when it starts back up, but it better get really good really fast. Like, first 6-or-so issues good. Everything after that has been blech.

• I've never read it, but I'm sure the DC characters were vastly underpowered.

• Meh.

• I'm glad to see it. I liked Dick Grason's Batman and am glad to see him keep the cowl since he earned it and made it his own.

• Please. It's Batmans. Hell, if there can be 18 supergirls, 43 robins, 3982 Brainiacs, a million Green Lanturns... why not two Batmans. But still. Batman vs Batman needs to happen. (also, an all-robin battle royale)

• Vrrrrruuuuuuuuuuummmmmmm ^^

• If you cut Wolverine in half, will he regenerate as two Logans, like a worm? Maybe I shouldn't give Marvel ideas...

• Batman vs. Batman. Make it happen!!!

• Right... didn't they already settle this long ago with the Marvel vs DC cross over series? I'm pretty sure that's not how it worked out.

• Actually, if you count the Batman Beyond ongoing, there's three Batmen!

• I think Wolverine is gonna see this and try to do something similar so he can take a break from all the damn books, teams, and crossovers he always seems to pop up in.

• Hey! Fuck you! You're just jealous that any one DC hero (excluding Batman, he's a pussy) could wipe out every hero and villain of the Marvel Universe.

• Dammit, you beat me to it!

• Just when you thought Marvel was gonna get whored out by Disney, DC decides to give the pimphand to Batman, " Bitch get me my money! " Superheros fight crime well enough, but somehow pimpin' IS easy.

• i think DC is STILL second rate, and that marvel is the only major worth reading. but hey, yeah, two batmans(batmen?). awesome.

• Q: Why does this cover remind my of pedo/jogibear? A: Because it looks like the Batman in the middle is riding robin like, rob (TR Rob) would ride his new Tron Bike?

• I think it's a weird gimmick that will eventually be reverted and forgotten in a couple of years along with Superman's mullet hair cut, and Ben Reily as Spider-man.
