If All-Star Batman and Robin #3 gets pushed back agin, I will scream. If not, I will most definitely get it, the #1 Special Edition(with Miller cover!), and I might start reading Batman again(seems like I'll need #646, 647 and 648). Nice work once again, Batfan.

I think the only Bat-book I'll need to be getting in January is Hush Returns. Although I'll look into Ra's al Ghul Year One, as that's a possibility, too. Nice work as always, Batfa-erm, ahem-All Star Batman. ;D

February is kind of a special month for the Batman Universe. For quite a few reasons.
1. We have to say goodbye to a few of our favorite Bat-Titles: GOTHAM KNIGHTS, BATGIRL, and GOTHAM CENTRAL. With GK being cancelled, this makes me wonder one thing: Why can't a fourth Batman title make it to a hundred issues? Shadow of the Bat only lasted 94 issues. GK now has 74 issues. Up next: Batman Confidential.
2. LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT reaches it's 200th issue!
3. This is one month before we go one year after the Infinite Crisis. Why is Robin wanted for murder? Why is Nightwing hiding in New York? We'll find out this March.

I haven't been following any of the normal Bat-titles lately, and it doesn't seem that there are any tpb's I want in February, so I guess this month it's just All-Star for me. I hope they actually release it on the 8th. Nice work once again, All Star Batman.

Maybe if it didn't get bad reviews, we'd have it sooner.

Is the alst issue of Legends #206 and when is the first issue of Batman Confidential expected to be out? What is that title anyway?

I heard it would go up to 206 issues, and Batman Confidential starts a month later.

Oh ok. Thanks for the information. I'm glad to hear there will be another monthly title. I need something to fill the void that LOTDK and Gotham Knights will leave.

Hopefully Batman Confidential will be enough to fill that void.

This March, the fallout of the Infinite Crisis begins in the Bat-titles as we go One Year Later.
Many questions must be answered:
Why is Nightwing hiding in New York? Why is Robin wanted for murder? What are the Birds' new mission? Who is killing Gotham Villains? Who is the new Catwoman? What decision will change the relationship between Batman and Robin forever?
The answers to these questions will be answered in the following months.

I'll probably end up getting the two One Year Later Batman titles, as I want to know what the deal is after Infinite Crisis. I'll also get All-Star B&R #4 and All-Star Superman #3 in March.
