>MSG: Speaking of the back-ups, we’re seeing Duke Thomas take a really prominent role in them…
>SS: The back-ups are running through the year, with each arc having a different color from the wheel. The “Cursed Wheel” is a training program that Tom King, Tim Seeley, James Tynion IV, and I made up together. It’s this secret system that Batman brings people who have been Robin through to become the hero they’re meant to be, whether they know they’re being subjected to it or not.
>The back-ups are largely going to pit Duke against different villains, with Batman, as he struggles to deal with the tragedy of his parents and figure his way out of this stuff. Ultimately, one of the great things is — in talking to Geoff Johns about where we could land Duke and what a great mission for that character can be — he has a great sense of what’s missing from the DCU in terms of purpose. What are some of the things in Gotham we don’t have, and is this organic to what this character is about?
>We came up with a role for Duke that I think no one’s ever seen before in Gotham. That way, he doesn’t have to come into the book and then go back to being Robin. What the creators were able to do in We Are… Robin made me so happy. He was a Robin in a different way: a Robin that didn’t need a Batman. And now that he does, to be Robin in any way may be redundant.
>I’m very happy for where he’s headed. And the Cursed Wheel runs through the entire year with different villains. Zsasz is up first, with another villain in the next section, and so on.
Seriously what the fuck is this?? I'm not buying this...sm h
Jaxon Turner
I like Shalvey. But man that Duke design is doing nothing for me. Hopefully when he gets a codename he'll get a new one
Jaxson Turner
Scott Snyder. Free to ignore.
Ayden Anderson
Those speech bubbles and text are disgusting
Joshua Gutierrez

Michael Hughes

Jesus fucking christ Damifag, do you have nothing better to do with your life than lurk for Batman threads to shitpost?
David Sullivan
>: Speaking of the back-ups, we’re seeing Duke Thomas take a really prominent role in them… Miles Morales 02.
Adam Nelson
Jesus Christ the suit looks even worse when he's wearing it than when we just saw it by itself. I was kind of hoping that ASB would be good, but if Duke is going to stick around as a main character I dunno.
Do you think casuals care enough about Snyder to buy his comics even when it's not the "main" Batman title?
Christopher Nguyen
to be honest. I hate miles. Really dont like this character. And i dont read comics anymore....
Eli Murphy
I think casuals care enough about Batman to buy a well-advertised spin-off of it. If Batman Eternal and B&R Eternal did well, I don't see why this couldn't.
Cooper Wood
>but if Duke is going to stick around as a main character I dunno. Issue 1 was meh,
Liam Phillips

Anthony Jenkins
Snyder became one of DC's star writers thanks to Batman and is the only one now that Johns fucked off to DCEU stuff It'll sell just fine Like 50-60k+ fine probably
