COMICS: Scott Snyder Rumored To Leave BATMAN Title

Earlier today reports surfaced of a DC Comics reboot occurring this Summer and DC co-Publishers Jim Lee and Dan DiDio seemed to confirm said report with a teaser titled, 'Rebirth'. Now, there's a new report which states that Scott Snyder is leaving the monthly Batman title.

After 5 years, is Scott Snyder preparing to exit Batman? Bleeding Cool appears to be spot on with their report that DC Comics is lining up another publisher-wide reboot this Summer.  With that reboot, they site reports that DC Comics is planning to make Batman a bi-monthly title, something Marvel does with its most popular titles.  It's a tactic which allows Marvel to annually dominate the industry in terms of market share and total comic book sold.

However, DC fans can take solace in the fact that BC is reporting that Snyder is leaving Batman to take over Detective Comics.  It's the title that Snyder started on and will remain monthly rather than bi-monthly.  The comic book site also reports that the main Batman title will become more engrossed in publisher-wide crossover events while Detective Comics will largely ignore such events and allow Snyder to do as he pleases.  If true, the next question is does Greg Capullo join Snyder on Detective Comics?  And who takes over Batman? If it's not A-list talent, how long before Detective Comics starts to outsell Batman?

I'm completely fine with this.

If only someone would get Dan Slott off of Spider-Man and put Scott Snyder on it. Dude would do wonders to Spidey and his villains.

Hope him and Capullo stay together....perfect match. Love to see them take Nightwing for a spin too.

"Going from Batman to Detective comics is like going from one room to the next in the same house."

This needs to be posted more than once in this thread.

MarkJulian,
Yeah...they'd be a great way for a Nightwing book to start over. The Dark Heir is my all time favorite.

He's an amazing writer and arguably one of the best to ever write for the Batman character. His creation of the court of owls is one of the best things to happen to the Batman mythology

Will Capullo stay? He and Snyder make a good team.

Bi-Monthly means we would only get one issue every two months. What you mean is bi-weekly meaning we get two issues every month - that's what Marvel does with their big titles.

Didn't Scott Snyder start his Batman career on Detective Comics with Jock?

Dude's just going home.

Here's hoping DC's new reshuffle will rid the Wonder Woman title of the Finches.
They're awful.

Scott is a cool dude, he lives by me and every now and then he stops into the comic store and randomly signs a stack of his batman comics and puts them back on the shelf.

After making Commissioner Gordon Batman,perhaps it is time to leave.

Oh, thanks @dethpillow

At first I was like, "Really? He's leaving Snyder for Millar?"
But from that interview, I totally get why he's doing it.

Man, being a comic book artist must be tough. Those deadlines must be a killer.

Especially a good one, like Capullo. The amount of detail he puts into his stuff is crazy

He's one of my all time favorites tbh. Glad he's sticking with the character, nobody does him better.

Now Capullo needs to go to Detective Comics as well.

ugh! False alarm. I thought he was dropping off the batbooks completely and got excited. I'm not a big fan of any of the New52 Batman so far. They need someone who can write a decent mystery, and that's not Snyder.

I'm fine with this, was worried he was quitting the character entirely but if DC are giving him Detective Comics on a monthly basis (and a self contained narrative to boot) then that's a good thing in my opinion.

Hopefully Greg Capullo joins him, but if not then I hope they find someone with a bit more of a sombre, atmospheric art style to join him (and hopefully they get Capullo on Superman!)
