Yeah, it seems like every time a new writer gets ahold of the main Batbook they decide they have to "change Batman forever" in some way...will be so nice to not have that.

I think that's why I like Mark Waid's stuff a lot too, like his World's Finest. He isn't trying to "change everything forever' he just sets out to tell a good story about Batman and Supes and other DC characters.

Matt Fraction legit sounds like the name of a Batman villain. Team him up with Calendar Man.

Old comics:

Picked up volume 1 and 2 of Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning's "The Legion" (of Super-Heroes) for cheap and they were pretty great..... only thing is they never collected the rest of the run, and now I really want to read it.....
