The book stinks but they should let him finish his run properly
Justice League Dark has been good since this otherkind arc started. Same as how Doctor Strange has been good since the new book.Justice League Dark was really good this week mostly because it re-established that Mordru is powerful as hell and is not to be fukked with.
I know that Snyder's Justice League book gets most of the attention but JL: Dark is my pick for best Justice League book being published currently.
It's bad opticsIf it stinks, why prolong it?
The Batman series has needed a change for some time. King is not the right fit.
It wouldn't shock me to see them hand the book to Bendis.Rumor is that they'll let King finish his Batman story in another book, either Catwoman or another spinoff series.
My question is why? They'd be 15 issues away from 100, and they wouldn't relaunch Batman with a new #1 that close to a milestone, so why not let him finish his run in the main book? Unless they have an A-list creator in mind already to take over (hopefully not Bendis, even though he'd be a better fit for Batman than Superman), it'd just be a bunch of useless filler arcs in between the end of King's run and issue 100, just like how Detective Comics was between Tynion and Tomasi's runs. That's not gonna get sales up any more than finishing out King's run will.
It wouldn't shock me to see them hand the book to Bendis.
Honestly while his Superman hasn't been bad I do think this whole Leviathan thing would have worked better with Batman than Superman.

How so?
Creators nowadays are already apprehensive about doing work for the Big Two.
If you pull one of your top writers off of your top book, shortly before he would have finished his run, when it's still the top-selling book at DC, and has been nominated for and won multiple awards, that will not instill confidence for the next generation of writers, or the current ones who are on smaller books trying to make a name for themselves.
Who in house at DC would get you hyped to be on BatmanIt's official: Tom King leaves the main Batman title with issue #85, it returns to a monthly schedule thereafter, and King concludes his Batman story with a 12-issue Batman/Catwoman series drawn by Clay Mann:
BATMAN/CATWOMAN #1 CONTINUES ONGOING BAT/CAT ROMANCE
Who in house at DC would get you hyped to be on Batman
I can't think of a current DC writer that would get me hyped tbh
