I don't know how you can say something doesn't "look like the Batmobile".  The Tumbler looks more "like the Batmobile" than the Clooney car.  The original burgandy sedan used by Batman doesn't "look like the Batmobile" either really.  It's black, its loud, it has gadgets and it has a rocket booster.  How much more do you want?

And the Bat is an original vehicle as far as I'm concerned.  I loved it; it fit with the story and what we've come to learn about Wayne Enterprises and Fox's research.

Adding my own two cents: The Long Halloween is my all time favourite Batman Story from start to finish.  I have no problem with an ambiguous ending; I loved Inception and I loved The Dark Knight Rises because I'm able to fill in the end that best suits my own sensibilities.

The Long Halloween is a fantastic mystery that never disappoints each time I read it.  Add on Dark Victory and you have a fantastic Batman primer.

Since my comment in Sept I have come to enjoy Damien in this title. I find myself agreeing with him on occasion :-)

Totally agree.  When Morrison was writig Damian I disliked him rather strongly.  Since the reboot and Tomasi taking over I've warmed to him quite a bit.

It also means Knightfall didn't happen?

Hmm...

I think the  New 52 has been a huge success but as they move along and the different writers start to explore deeper into the respective back stories things are starting to unravel.

The Robin paradox is the best example but there are other, non Batman related examples too.  It just seems like the New 52 was a great idea that was half baked.

The entire Court of Owls saga has been the best new Batman story I've read in years.  I can't wait for the Joker!

Issues 1-11 were great actually.

After reading them I actually like Damian much more than I used to.  Tomasi is exploring the Father/Son dynamic and doing a great job.

If you tuned out then you're missing out on a couple excellent stories.  True there's some garbage but Snyder's Batman and Tomasi's Batman and Robin have been great.  Tomasi has written a Damian that I've enjoyed and that was a tough task.

As far as Tim never being Robin ... I can't see how that would work? That would involved completely rewriting his origin which to me means he's a completely different person.
