DC Comics recently announced their “second wave” of titles as a continued edition to their New 52 initiative, which of course means that six titles have to be replaced. The new series will start in May and the replaced series will end in April with their eighth issue.
Speculation of this move has existed since the the titles first started to be announced and it was obvious that some could probably not carry an ongoing series.

Batman Incorporated #4 Review
In my review of Batman Incorporated #2 I said — in reference to the more light-hearted take here compared to the intense 16-issue run in Batman and Robin — “Perhaps this is Morrison’s way of giving us a breather or maybe this is just his light jog before the story breaks out into a sprint.” [Link] Well, it seems as if Morrison has skipped the sprint and entered into an all out run.
