That reminds me, whatever happened to that GL graphic novel with the kid who inherits a GL ring from his grandmother? Did that come out and I missed it?

Reading the tweets after was just making me nauseous though. Most of those assholes have no idea what they are talking about. They certainly don't know anything about the JSA.
So glad I don't do social media.

Donny Cates’ Batman? It Could’ve Happened And It’d Be a Good Idea
At the recent TerrifiCon in Connecticut, Word Balloon’s host, John Siuntres, conducted a panel with current Venom and Absolute Carnage writer Donny Cates. While Cates’ burgeoning career and books were the main topics of conversation for the better part of an hour, the issue of DC Comics was broached.
Cates admitted that he’s a fan of DC and didn’t rule out the possibility of writing for Marvel’s great rival in the future. He then revealed that he’d had an impromptu meeting when he entered DC’s offices for the first time.
On the day he conducted important business with Legendary Pictures for the adaptation of his and artist Geoff Shaw’s comic book series God Country, Cates called a friend at DC to see if he could get a tour of the company’s premises. On this tour, he was quickly ushered into an office where DC’s bigwigs, such as Jim Lee and Dan DiDio, awaited him with a proposal.
“They offered me Constantine, Green Lantern Corps, and whenever Tom [King]’s run wrapped up, I’d do Batman,” Cates said.
He added that he has a five-year plan for writing Batman, which they’d heard about and wanted to discuss with him. However, Cates joked that he wasn’t about to give away his ideas for free. He turned down DC’s offer as he feels he still has a lot to achieve at Marvel, namely writing The Amazing Spider-Man as well as a new project that’ll be announced soon.

A Cates run on Batman would certainly rule, but everyone has ideas for a great Batman run, whereas Cates is needed at Marvel.
