Greg Capullo on the Future of BATMAN

Have you wondered how long the creative team will remain on the title?

It's no secret we really like Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's BATMAN. As the New 52 titles approach the two and half year mark, we're seeing less and less titles with the original creative team (in any form) from those first issues. Just last week we heard about the end of TEEN TITANS and Kyle Higgins leaving NIGHTWING.

With each issue issue, you can't help but wonder and fear, how long will Snyder and Capullo remain on the title. Capullo tweeted the following today to give some insight on this:

Looks like we can relax for a bit. Bravo to those that managed to chain Snyder, Capullo and the rest to their desks. Who knows what we can expect after Zero Year.

BATMAN #27 is on sale this week.

@sandman_: Just a few issues in and they are already amazing, Action was really starting to feel irrelevant before those two came into the picture.

I can easily see them rivalling Snyder & Capullo, all they need is a couple of big stories.

I can't really think of any artist that suit this series as Capullo.

That's cool, but I am really not feeling anything Scott Snyder has done lately.. Zero Year, Superman Uncained, and The Wake are just mediocre IN MY OPINION.

I can't wait until Zero Year is over.

As long as it continues to stay at Court of Owls/Zero Year level quality, I'm completely fine with this.

To be honest, I wasn't really in to Batman n52 until Death of the Family. That was AWESOME. Court of Owls and City of Owls was pretty good, but I'm just not into Zero Year, though I still collect Batman in trades though.

Thoroughly enjoying the run, can't imagine one with out the other at this point. Check out their episode on Fatman on Batman with Kevin Smith, total opposites of the personality spectrum, Capullo being somewhat of a comic rock star and Snyder in his seemingly reserved ways. Great news.

You know, it wouldn't be surprising if DC execs noticed that Batman is the one new 52 title that has gotten a complete series of 5 star rating on this website and made sure to keep Snyder and Capullo. What I'm trying to say is that even if partially, I personally consider Tony to be responsible of that news along with other professional reviewers who have consistently granted good reviews to that book.

Just saying. :)

A very sad bit of news for folks who like their Batman to be a scientist and detective before a physical brute.

At least now maybe we have an enddate for their run.

2 more years :(

@comicbookfan93: Yes, when I compare it to every thing he did in DC so far, Zero Year scores lowest.

considering Batman is the only book to constantly break 100 000 sales wise they would be stupid to lose them. The only times the other books come close is when they launch a new series of etheir Superman or Batman.

When Teen Titans re launches I expect that to hit 100 000

I have the hardest and worst time thinking about what'll happen after they leave. This is my favorite DC title every month, and to think that'll change eventually is horrifying. They're just the perfect team on this book. Hope they stick around for as long as they want.

This has been my favorite DC title since Court of Owls. I can understand why it isn't always people's cup of tea, but I've been enjoying it. I hope it only continues to get better.

Fantastic news. Snyder and Capullo continually reaffirm my love of mainstream superhero comics in a time when everything else by the big two feels like shameless cash grabs and publicity stunts.

This is the good news you hear when a creative team continues to do great work on a popular top selling book. DC editorial won't dare try to meddle or dictate the stories they want to tell.

That kind of run, even ten years ago, would be really impressive, now it's frankly miraculous. Their Batman isn't for me, but I know there are a lot of people ecstatic with this news. So, cool.
