    I was very happy when I read the announcement last week. I love what Gregg Hurwitz did with the Penguin mini. I think that David Finch's art is a perfect fit for Hurwitz's writing,

    Finch is no longer co-writing with Paul Jenkins as of issue 8, so maybe we dont need to wait too long to see an improvement in the series.

    And Hurwitz said he's going to explore Scarecrow as a character, and if it's anything like he did with Penguin, it's going to be fantastic.

    YES. Now all they need to do is put a different writer on Detective Comics, and they're all set.

    Maybe we'll actually get a coherent plot in TDK.

    Maybe Hurwitz can uncrappify the crappy Bane we'll be getting in 2 weeks.
