These are the Batman-ish Titles Gone After ‘Convergence’
By Skip Harvey
By now, we’ve brought you a lot of coverage on the topic of Convergence and DC’s rebooting of The New 52. There are a lot of changes coming and a lot of new comics hitting shelves in June. Not every book is going to survive, obviously, so here’s what we’re gonna lose starting this summer:
- Earth 2
- Batwoman
- World’s Finest
- Arkham Manor
- Batman Eternal
- Injustice: Gods Among Us
- Justice League 3000
- Batman And Robin
- Red Hood And The Outlaws
Some of these titles will be missed, some surprise me. I suppose they see Batman and Robin as unnecessary, perhaps because there seems to be a fatigue toward Damian Wayne. Sad to see any comic named World’s Finest go since it should just replace Batman/Superman as a title. Earth 2 had promise, but it was hokey in places. Batman Eternal is likely coming back, but this current run is ending. Batwoman is one of the best drawn books in all comics, but I’m not surprised to see it go.
