I do not know who the new Batman and Robin are yet, but let me state for the record that unless Grayson and Drake wind up in the costumes, someone's getting their ears chewed off. It better not be that little turd Damien, or Todd, or Spoiler.

Vaguely acceptable: Azrael re-dons the mantle. Also acceptable: Vic Sage returns from the dead and takes over.

ETA: GOD DAMN IT! Prepare for ear-chewing!

Now would be a bad time to tell you that there's also a new Azrael, right?

(I actually didn't hate the outcome as much as I thought I would. I still don't LIKE it, but I didn't actively HATE it.)

... wait, there's a new what now? Who?

[second-batgirl.livejournal.com]

Some ex-cop. Michael something. The mini-series he had was very boring.

Do you want the details on what happened in Battle for the Cowl?

What... was was wrong with the old Azrael? I mean besides the crippling psychosis and damage to his body?

Sure, why not. I know that J-n T-d is probably dead again, and here's hoping he stays that way, but besides that I haven't been keeping up.

Still dead? IDK. I want him to come back but not be Batman.

I actually was kinda okay with how they did it, and am busy writing a long essay type thing ob the subject. But Dick is Batman, Tim is (most likely) Red Robin and doing the 'I have moved beyond my role and must be a hero in my own name' type thing that Dick did when he became Nightwing, and the bratty child is Robin, which will make me throw things. Jason fell (well, Dick kicked him, and Jason refused to accept his help to get back up) off a train so that Dick would have his blood on his hands, but as there is no body he'll probably be back.

There were actually some really nice Bruce moments, even though Bruce is still in a cave at the beginning of time or whatever.

I'm busy freaking out over who the new Batgirl is. They need to tell me soon. Like, before August when the new book launches.

I think Tim should have become Nightwing, just for symmetry's sake.

I think we need to have another round of WWWIAF to commemorate the ear-chewing.

I suspect you and my roommate would get along.

If you want the specifics, here's a site (http://www.craveonline.com/entertainment/comics/article/rip-through-cowl-the-quest-for-a-new-batman-77697) that summarizes everything that's been happening since the beginning of Batman: RIP to the present in great detail.

No, this guy didn't make that stuff up, what you're about to read is the REAL DEAL, unfortunately.
