Dan Didio hard sell
So I checked this out today on Newsarama, Dan Didio talks about things like Superman books, Final Crisis, Batman and such. Anything special or new? Not really but I am taken back a touch by the following statement:
And let me put aside any concerns people have about Final Crisis #7, this is and always has been Grant’s story, and any changes made along the way were discussed in advance as to work with the natural flow of the miniseries. The ending is Grant’s, pure and simple, and is the ending he envisioned from the start.
Does this mean that he is putting Grant Morrison under the bus so when FC comes out and its a massive flop, its all Grant Morrison? That crossed my mind and then I thought, naaaaaah, but then I kept reading about Grant Morrison on Batman and saw this…
12. Getting back into the Batman books – just so we have the lineup correct…Denny in December, Faces of Evil in January, and Neil Gaiman and Andy Kubert in February. Is Grant coming back to the main Batman book then?
DD: Grant has so many Batman stories to tell that we have to find an outlet for them, and I’m absolutely sure that we will find one for him.
Now I have to wonder Wha? I was at the Comic-Con Batman panel where Grant Morrison was going to be writing Batman forever. Yeah I don’t think so anymoe — I am betting my comic monies that once FC is over we the fans will be hearing about how Grant and DC have parted ways.
Anyways here is the full article:

It is interesting to hear how DC and Dan are planning / thinking about the upcoming Blackest Night event and how it will come out. Maybe the idea of all these fricken Bubble Comic Books that DC is running right now (Green Lanterns w/ the Red Lanterns, Titans w/ their crap, Teen Titans and their crap, Superman and the New Krypton stuff, Justice Society of America and Kingdom Come, Justice League and their adventures, Final Crisis and its crap, Batman RIP/Battle of the Cowl — all in their own bubble worlds) will end soon and we will finally see some continuity in the DCU and their books.
