Re: I think Bane and Scandal are great!
I'm still not sure enough about Batman & Robin to buy it yet, but some things I've seen posted here and flipping through Flex Mentallo (and remembering how great an artist Frank Quitely is when he's in his element) has made my feelings toward it a lot more gracious. I don't know if I will start following it, but that might have more to do with not having extra money burning a hole in my pocket.
Definitely motto on Gotham Knights, though. The plots were iffy sometimes, and there was at least one arc that treated Helena pretty badly, but it was always good to at least the immediate Batfamily from what I've read.
