Batman, Inc. #8 will be in shops next week; it's already shipped and I've been invoiced for it.
Batman, Inc.: Leviathan Strikes is going to be issues #9 and #10 together, and I think that's due in either December or January, which will give us the conclusion to Steph's London adventure and be the "season finale" to this segment of Morrison's masterplan.
^ Ahhhh okay. That's great then.
I enjoyed it a lot. Too bad that version of Connor is done now. The more that I read the conclusion of the normal continuity books, the more I feel this relaunch is utterly ridiculous and unnecessary. I predict a sales jump for the first couple of months while people get what they're interested in and decide if they want to stick with those books or not, I think we'll know by Feb or March next year what the general consensus is from fans on the relaunch in terms of sales and we'll start seeing drop offs on most of the books.
I love how this thread got long enough to have a character arc.
^ It was bound to happen once we got more information about it and start to get to the actual relaunch 
I'll be interested in everyone else's opinion when the books start to come out. I'm still sticking with the following books:
-Action Comics
-Aquaman
-Batgirl
-Batman
-Batman and Robin
-Batwoman
-Catwoman
-Detective Comics
-Nightwing
-Red Hood and the Outlaws
-Legion Lost
-Legion of Supheroes
-Superboy
-Supergirl
-Teen Titans
-Stormwatch
-Wonder Woman

So this renders Infinite Crisis null and void, and presumably everything that spun out of that including 52, countdown, Final Crisis, Batman RIP ... Oh wait, Batman is not being rebooted.
Okay, I know I am being silly here, but why reboot one character, especially one who had an integral role in a major and recent story arc, and not reboot other things that that character had been responsible for?
Anyone want to take bets on how long it will take DC to get around to the next Zero Hour/Crisis that will fix all the mistakes of the reboot?
A Pity. BB was one of the few handful of good comics that DC put out after Infinite Crisis during OYL.
As stated before if sales are low and stay low for a period of time things will be mixed up again. Unless they're stubborn and attempt to force the relaunch down our throats
The drama!
Because if a new approach doesn't work, the answer which appeals to business people is to go back to the previous approach that didn't work either.
Which is why, after the cancellation of Star Trek: Enterprise, Paramount studios returned to producing Trek shows and movies set in the 24th and 25th centuries with continuity consistent with TNG and TOS.

Which, really, is what they ought to do.As stated before if sales are low and stay low for a period of time things will be mixed up again. Unless they're stubborn and attempt to force the relaunch down our throats
In the old days, it feels like they had more patience, and that patience was what made institutions out of their characters.
Also, not glutting the market with 52 titles a month. I think I read somewhere once that while sales are (of course) down quite a bit from the better old days, if you consider the sales of the Big Two as a whole, there's a striking ameliorating effect--because there were fewer books. But I guess that bridge is burned. And I might be making up that factoid.
@Mr Light it remains to be seen if Booster will remember the old continuity or not doesn't it? Like I proposed earlier in the thread I think Traci 13 will play a part in the "merging" as well.
I'm sure Booster won't remember the old continuity in JLI, but if the venture crashes and burns they could just have him start remembering, or Rip appears to help him remember, something like that.
Actually I would love it if NuBooster always remembered the old continuity and kept raving about it to his teammates and they all think he's crazy

Nah, the old continuity is gone. Forget it. It is no more. And it ain't coming back.
Except in, maybe, 20-25 years when the 80s/90s/00s readers become the head writers and executives of DC and want to bring back when they liked growing up. I'm already getting ready for Crisis Point!

I really don't get why they bother playing around with the characters at all. They have the mechanism to start anew and still keep the "old" continuity intact. A one page blurb at the end of every issue this month stating that New Earth from here on out will be referred to as Earth-52 (or whatever) and all new adventures will now take place on Earth-14 (or whatever Earth is appropriate), which will hereafter be called Earth Prime (or whatever you want to call it). Done. Everybody is happy and move on!
Too much potential for intentional humor for Turgid Jurgens.I'm sure Booster won't remember the old continuity in JLI, but if the venture crashes and burns they could just have him start remembering, or Rip appears to help him remember, something like that.
