The complete checklist for Batman R.I.P:
■ BATMAN #676
■ BATMAN #677
■ BATMAN #678
■ BATMAN #679
■ BATMAN #680
■ BATMAN #681
■ DETECTIVE COMICS #846
■ DETECTIVE COMICS #847
■ DETECTIVE COMICS #848
■ DETECTIVE COMICS #849
■ DETECTIVE COMICS #850
■ NIGHTWING #147
■ NIGHTWING #148
■ NIGHTWING #149
■ NIGHTWING #150
■ ROBIN #175
■ ROBIN #176
■ BATMAN AND THE OUTSIDERS #11
■ BATMAN AND THE OUTSIDERS #12
■ BATMAN AND THE OUTSIDERS #13

Out of all those, I only have a sub for Batman, so I'll probably grab the TPB when it comes out assuming it covers all the above issues (do TPBs cover multiple titles?).

Just realized I have yet to read a single issue of the RIP arc. They're all sitting in my to-be-read pile.

I'm still in that boat. Haven't read a thing (I've over 100 issues behind my pull list- ugh do I ever have to catch up).

a) Is it finished yet?

b) I keep just picking up the Batman/Detective Comics because they are on my pull list so I'm missing the others (i.e Nightwing, etc).... are they going to have a trade out with everything in order? If so, any idea when?

c) Is it any good? I heard it was pretty confusing.

DC announced early last week that Robin, Nightwing and Birds of Prey will be cancelled in the new year (Jan). It is expected that Robin will rejoin Batman in Batman and Detective, Nightwing will join one of the Group comics and that Birds of Prey characters will just find their way into other DC books especially the Bat titles.

Too be honest I really have not followed any of the new titles. DC and Marvel have chased me away with the big event storylines. I hate having to buy 10+ obscure titles just so I can follow the rest of the comics that I normally collect. I have been buying more Silver and Bronze age key comics instead of buying modern stuff.
