Initially I wasn't sure what to make of Streets of Gotham. Between Morrison's flagship book Batman & Robin and the Winick-helmed Batman, I wondered what story Gotham could cover that wasn't going to be boring. I was pleasantly surprised by Batman: Streets of Gotham #1. This is a noir-inspired look at Grayson and Damien's time as the Dynamic Duo , and , successfully provides a new take on the current Batman Reborn storyline.
One thing I wonder is what will DC do with the Joker and what his take on the new Batman will be, because Grant Morrison will explore what Gordon's views are in Batman and Robin #2, and they left the Joker's fate unknown after Batman R,I.P.
Just kidding. Hey man, I hate $4 comics just as much as you do but if I am going to pay a dollar more for an issue at least the extra pages are about characters I enjoy. If I wasn't a fan of Blue Beetle, Manhunter or the Question I would probably be complaining too. Guess I'm just lucky it turned out that way.
to be honest, I'm not crazy about either scenario. Fuck back up stories, fuck reprints, fuck sketches, fuck Bendis and Loeb, make comics more affordable and I will buy more, keep gouging and sooner or later people are going to buy nothing but trades. But most folks don't seem to mind and i'm starting to sound like a broken record but honestly $4.00 for a comic book that takes 5 min to read is ridiculous, or maybe i just like complaining too much...

Plus they show Patton Oswalt and Brian Posehn go to a shop to buy their comics. That documentary is awesome.

Yeah, that little extra with the Question was pretty nice.
