    Personally, I'd say leave. I'm not the biggest fan of his Batman stuff and it honestly sounds like his work on other characters is much better.

    Stay. I think he's got great ideas, he just needs to develop them better. I'm hoping he improves as he continues to write and get more experience in the medium.

    This for me. He needs to focus on Superman Unchained, American Vampire (not that I like it but apparently it's really good) and another DC/Vertigo title.

    I voted leave, but that's a very tentative vote, just because I think that if he were to leave, its likely that someone worse would take over. Snyder's run isn't breaking any new ground and it has a plethora of flaws to it, but its still readable and occasionally enjoyable... and with the current state of DC, that's unfortunately all we can ask for.

    Leave, but only if they can replace him with someone decent. Court of Owls = Mediocre, Death of the Family = terrible.

    I vote leave. As I have stated before enjoyable but nothing special. Death of the Family was terrible, his Batman work is slightly better than mediocre Cappullo's art really helps raise the quality of the book. Three issues in I like his Superman work far better but we will see if he is able to build that into something good, his swing for the fences approach seems to suit Superman better. I would like to see Azzarello and Sorrentino take over Batman in the future.

    Stay. But I'm only judging from his Court of Owls arc seeing as I dropped the title soon after that (read a bit of Death of the Family but not much) and I didn't drop the title because of him, it's just I'm not a HUGE Batman fan and wanted to take up other titles but I found his writing enjoyable and he hasn't let me down on that opinion yet in Superman Unchained. But like I said before, I'm basing my opinion on one (and a half) Batman story arcs.

    Stay, but I'd also like to see him involved with other characters. I think we could write Martian Manhunter or Flash well.

    I'd LOVE to see a Martian Manhunter solo series written by Snyder (even a Martian Manhunter solo series by itself), it would get an instant spot on my pull list.

You're pushing me into wishful thinking and false hope over a Martian Manhunter solo title ever existing in the new 52, stop it! D':

    I hope he stays, I've read previous Batman storylines before the New 52, but Snyder's Batman was really my offical introduction to The Dark Knight (in comics at least). I've loved his run so far and are enjoying his retelling of Batman's early days, I hope he continues to write Batman for years to come.

    Stay.

    He's one of the few guy's that started the New 52 so it doesn't make sense for him to leave. He's doing a good job in the Batman series but could do a little adjusting with his formula of story telling a bit.

    I totally hope he stays for a really really long time. But even if he did leave, he'd surely move on to other great things... but he shouldn't do it yet... for a long time... ever. If it isn't clear, I voted stay, I'm kind of a big fan of his Batman work.

    I'm totally in the same area as you! I really want a Martian Manhunter ongoing! And I think if Snyder can get Jim Lee on board for Superman Unchained, I think he can a great artist like Ivan Reis.

    But he'd be perfect for Martian Manhunter, who's like a cross between Batman and Superman lol.

    Stay. I've liked his work on Batman since the Black Mirror and he writes Batman stories that are to my personal taste. I also really like his Superman: Unchained.

    To be honest I like Batman and I like Snyder so I'd like him to stay but with Booch and Manapul taking over Detective Comics soon I'd be okay with him moving on to something else.

    Let's face reality though guys - even if you don't like him, he's considered one of DC's top talents right now and his books are consistently top sellers. So he's not going anywhere unless he wants to leave. Which won't be for a while.
