They could still feature him on covers/crossovers/etc., but do they really need as many Bruce Wayne-focused books??Eyzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05350758607787528425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-7528882802847759222012-01-16T17:49:16.700-08:002012-01-16T17:49:16.700-08:00Oh my goodness, I remember picking up a copy of Ba...Oh my goodness, I remember picking up a copy of Batman: Confidential, from my local Jewel-Osco (convenience store), when I was in high school I think.<br /><br />This is a really interesting look back, Caleb.

From all accounts of the time, Batman sold all right while Tec barely moved. Alan Grant and John Wagner were given Detective at the end of the decade in a last ditch attempt to save DC's flagship book from cancellation.Nicholas Ahlhelmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651416360488414615noreply@blogger.com
