CALM DOWN BATSTANS. Put that Batarang away and let me explain. First and foremost, I understand that Detective Comics is a business. As a business the most important thing to companies is making money. That is a fact of life applicable to just about any industry. There are mouths to feed, you need money to fund things and thus, its all about the Benjamin's. Batman SELLS, he is popular and DC is just doing its job. But for me personally I am very, very tired of having Batman forced down my throat.
My history with Batman has been rocky. As a kid I liked Batman, then I hated Batman, then I did not like Batman but respected him and then I liked him again. And truth be told, I STILL like Batman, I mean he has never been one of my favorites or anything but I like him. I am just tired of Bruce Wayne. Too many comic books with Batman, aside from the Lego games and Injustice, only Batman gets games and these animated movie. Christ. Batman, Batman, Batman, Justice League Dark but um with Batman. You have got to be kidding me.

What ultimately worries me about this is what happens that day Batman stops working? Maybe something controversial happens that causes a group of people to see Batman as a symbol of something negative or maybe popularity just dwindles. How on Earth do they plan to move forward? They need more characters in the spotlight and it is time to take some chances and give unpopular characters a shot in the lime light.
DC has so many wonderful characters that are being neglected while Batman is just in any and all things DC, half the time I don't even want to bother because I know at some point it'll become the Batman show. Bruce Wayne train. Marvel has been in my honest opinion a mess the last couple of years, which is why I hardly read them but with DC its because I'm sick of Batman. I hope they do something about this eventually.
