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.
The Infinity Inc. series that doesn't even have a connection to the original has also been selling abysmally:

This isn’t good. With the “Resurrection of Ra’s al Ghul” crossover out of the way, Batman promptly continues its free-fall - it’s lost another good 2,000 units compared to issue #669. Something’s going wrong here.Of course, and it's the crossover. Though it may have resulted in a little more for Robin, it was still uncalled for, and if it's far from selling as much as past crossovers did, that's understandable, as people come to realize that these x-overs really aren't getting anywhere for them money-wise.

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.
