I didn't see a thread for this so.....
What's everyone think so far? It's 2 issues in and I'm pretty intrigued by it.

2 issues? Oh. I must've missed the first one, because I got teh new one thinking it was the first.
Anyway, I dislike minis that cover like 4 different books (Batman, Batman/Superman, Robin, Nightwing, etc.). It's a money-making scam. But I promised myself I'd splurge a bit around FC time to stay up on everything, so meh.
Seems a bit anti-climactic so far. [SPOILER - highlight to read]: I can't really get excited about a group of villains I've never heard of before. The story's fine and Morrison is doing fine convincing me that Bats is in real trouble, but I'm still just kinda like "eh" when I see a bunch of no-name Circus Gang rejects infiltrating the Batcave. Joker better be behind this or something.

The gang of nobodies beating the crap out of [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Alfred it reminded me when [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Jarvis got the crap beaten out of him by the Masters of Evil.. Anyways, Im curious were they are going with all this and why is Bats letting his guard down with that woman. Specially since her name is Jezebel!

I recommend you read the first issue. (Batman 676) I like to see some fresh faces once in a while personally, and in a mystery story like this I think it makes it all the more mysterious.
But yeah, Joker is a pimp.

I 've read the first two issues. Very intriqued by the story. I think what will eventually happen, but I'm gonna keep it to myself

I'm about as excited about this as I am for Final Crisis.

Every time Morrison includes his horrendous creation of Damian into the story I get turn off.
Rumors are....
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Alfred betrays Bruce
Leave it to Morrison/Didio to make the final decision.

Unless the ending to # 2 is a setup, I doubt it. He got the s**t beaten out of him.

That wouldn't make sense, but then again if its what I'm thinking that is going to happen when all is said and done, I won't be at all surprised about that.

But it makes an odd amount of sense. No else knows as much about the Bat. No one.

Alfred certainly is hiding something, but I think all he does is try to help Bruce.

I swear I guessed that in another thread!
*Begins searching threads*
EDIT: Got it!!!

Totally agree.
Morrison said Batman will be broken in a different way to a literal death. I'm thinking maybe all his fortune and estate lost, or all his family?
Also Morrison said the reveal of the super secret mastermind behind it all will be the biggest shock in 70 years. I reckon the only reveal that could be sooo changing to Bruce's history is that the mastermind is someone like Thomas Wayne or Alfred Pennyworth......

Nah. I'd bet that Nightwing or Oracle, maybe even Tim, are on Alfred's level. Realistically, working with him in the field and knowing the ins and outs of his gadets, back-up plans, etc. Not to mention how he responds in extreme situations.
Trivial point, though.

During some interviews Didio said something about the clue lies in the R.I.P.
R could mean Robin.
I could mean Ivy.
P could mean Pennyworth.
