As promised, I’m not making anyone wait another month for a column. Two weeks is much more manageable, I think.
I hate to say it, but I’m kind of suffering from Batman burn-out right now. I was faced with a budget issue recently to make room for the new Flash series coming out next month in addition to the Zatanna ongoing that I would like to try, so I had to think long and hard about a couple books that I’m just not enjoying as much right now. Those books happened to be Streets of Gotham and Gotham City Sirens. It was a tough choice to make, but when it comes down to it, those are the two books that I’m enjoying the least right now.
And it’s not like I don’t have countless other ways to get a Batman fix. I love Batman and Robin, and Red Robin and Batgirl are probably two of my favorite titles right now. In fact, I absolutely loved the crossover with those two titles earlier in the month. It was so nice to see Tim and Stephanie readjusting to their roles in Gotham as well as how they relate to each other, both personally and professionally. I can see them being friends, at the very least, and maybe re-examining their romance down the road. For the time being though, I think Tim’s headed toward a relationship with Tam Fox.
