You guys nailed it, I enjoyed the first few issues but am already losing the will to read it weekly, I suspect like most of these weeklies I will drop off and dip back in once a month and still be able to follow the story.
I do like seeing Batman Beyond in an almost contemporary setting which may / may not be New 52 time-line or maybe it's pre-52 time-line continued!

I think it's a shame that Tomasi didn't have longer on the title pre-new 52 he seemed to really get the character and where he should be in the DCU. Overall the new 52 Nightwing was good and Higgins clearly loves the character but didn't quite hit the heights for me of the Dixon / McDaniel early run.
1 issue in and Grayson seems like lots of fun and might just be the right way to help Master Richard step out from the Dark Knights shadow.

Lurve the art work, simply eye-catching and unique - great creative team, I like the writing, it's solid but I wonder if in the future DC could get them paired with another writer for a one-off project, someone or a project that pushes their art into areas they wouldn't take it themselves - Love the book thought, hope they are on it for awhile.

Greetings All - I am BatFonz [Simon] Prince of Eternia and Defender of the secrets of... wait-a-pocket-pickled-magnet that ain't right
Got the first bit right, I'm BatFonz and have a huge love of comics going back to when I was 4 years old, and we are well past 3 decades of romance. In a weird way I think we were fortunate in the UK, we got lots of annual size reprints of all the classic tales so I was exposed to Stan & Jack from a young age and didn't really catch up with present day stuff until my uncle who imported parts from the US got them to add comics to fill 'packing spaces'. Suddenly my almost Black & White + Batman world was turned into colour and characters I had never seen before...and I loved it.
Due to Titan Books in the UK who reprinted collected volumes I met the classics and through a small core group of like minded individuals managed to share the wealth and read many things I wouldn't of exposed myself to normally...V for Vendetta being one I stumbled into and loved.
Did my time at art school and passed Submission to Marvel as an Artist (Yay) and then failed the timed Pages stage (Garrrggghhhhh!!!), I never managed to get the speed and in trying lost some of the joy so spent a few years in the wilderness doing what Lost Boys do. The whole time I never stopped reading and enjoying comics, I've found there is always someone doing something unique, new and inspiring to keep my ocular-addiction sated.
So long-time listener, first time Forum'per - love the podcast and keep the diverse opposing opinions coming it's what for me keeps things fresh, the best episodes for me are when the team just agrees to disagree but have strong opinionated debates - you guys are waaaaayyyy more entertaining than the other voices in my head!
