Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Tomorrow’s Heroes is the final collection of this series. I’m not sorry to see it end, and I wonder when DC will try an anthology series again.

It was in the air for a while — obviously DC has a history of anthology titles, but then they started showing up as part of crossover events, Death Metal and Lazarus Planet and so on; many high profile titles had backup stories; and then to Batman: Urban Legends and to Brave and the Bold. But I don’t think either of those dazzled audiences, and I wouldn’t be surprised if DC’s had enough for a while. (The various holiday-themed anthologies still seem to have a following, and without the higher pressure of the stories taking place in a monthly series.)
