It seems like it's going to be a story better read in a trade paperback, so that's an option if you're willing to wait.

You're not missing much (except some pretty good art)--- but like I said before, the story is right out of your own Legends of Batman--- only not as eventful.

i encourage everyone not to drop this book completly if you dont like the current creative team...im pretty sure that all-stars will feature different rotating teams (frank and jim are staying on for nine issues) i thought it was different, and interesting...remember, it's only the first issue, and it's just a different take on the characters as much as i love crisis, it's nice to be able to see simpler times

but while it is a different take on the characters...if this is a continuous thing that means the new creative team will still be working with what frank and jim have started...this isn't really about the creative team

I think... I think that Miller is really pushing his ideal of the Batman... This urban commando who is fighting this everlasting war...
Not the dark knight detective, not the Dark Knight, not the Batman...
Just this military esque guy who goes around drafting people in these little wars he has going on in his head... *borderline psychotic, i'm telling ya*

All I have to say after reading issue #2 is:
What the F#@k was that?
Batman backhands Dick? Batman says: "what are you ar retard??? I'm the God damn Batman!" Batman runs over a buncha cops???
What the Hell?
Oh, that's right, I forgot... Frank Miller wrote it! That's why it's a steaming pile of crap!
He's a one trick pony... I just consider this Sin City with bat-ears.

I've been hearing that somewhere is an interview with Miller where he says this is the Batman from Dark Knight Returns. Which would explain his war fixation... and the whole "willing to kill" thing is something that I see being touched upon and changed in the next 7 issues.
Well... I'm just trying to give this series a chance cuz I love Lee's art and know Miller can write a good Batman (Year One, DKR). I'm giving this series until issue 4 or 5 til I even think of dropping it.

True... DKR & Y1 were absolutely great! On the flip side though he is also the writer that was paid 1 million for DK2.
Food for thought.
Jim Lee's art is the only saving grace here...
The writing is repetetive, and I don't care if this is the DKR Bats... I was under the impression that in DKR Batman killed to finally put an end to the Joker. Batman wouldn't kill cops corrupt or otherwise.
God I sound like a true comic geek...
