Again, this is my first Batman comic book ever bought off the shelf. I'm almost hesitant to be buying so many of these comics! I'm afraid I'll get too hooked to too many stories! Is that even possible?
Anyway, I am an instant fan of team Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo! I am almost upset that I didn't jump on their band wagon a long time ago!
I read Nightwing before this, and not to give anything away, but the last page left me wanting more. I can tell that Batman is going to be an issue that I will absolutely fall in love with. One thing that did come as a shock for me was (remember I'm relatively new to these series of comics... I'm a Green Lantern type of guy) seeing all the Robins in one room: Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, and Damian Wayne. I really only know the backstory of Dick Grayson, so I'm hoping for a little back story on Tim and Damian. I may just stick with Batman instead of getting Batman & Robin... Scott Snyder just pulled me in with that ending... Especially after reading Nightwing! I was like... Whhhuuuuut!!??
(Why not both, Carl? We'll see...)
I also heard somewhere that Bruce Wayne died or that he was just gone for a little bit? They alluded to that a little bit in Blackest Night and Nightwing... I was always a little confused by that... Well anyway... I'm sure it'll clear up sometime. If someone wants to write me about that whole backstory, please fill me in. Otherwise, this new 52 has a new serious Batman fan. Which is totally fitting: Green Lantern and Batman always seem to be paired up somehow.
