Then, here's the DC sales analysis...
Now, here's The Beat blog's analysis of DC sales for the past month. As I thought, with Justice League falling below 100,000 copies, they now don't have anything left above that.
Among the decliners, Batman seems to be failing due to the crossover of Ra's al Ghul's resurrection (as if he would remain dead for long). They say:
They may say later on that Nightwing and Robin profit tremendously from the crossover, but seeing how they sell barely 50,000, I wouldn't consider it anything to crow over.

These are just horrible numbers. Plainly, I’m surprised they even bothered to assign a new regular penciler to the book starting in April. Expect the emergency brake to be pulled any second now.Meaning, in other words, cancel it and put it out of its misery.
