In the ’90s and ’00s, the Atlanta Braves won their division about 15 years in a row or something like that. I was a much bigger baseball fan at the time and before every season, friends would ask me who I liked in the National League East (or West, depending on what year we’re talking about).
For years, I’d just say, “The Braves until they lose.” In other words, they were the automatic pick until some team proved they could be knocked off.
That’s kind of how I feel about the main Batman title these last few months. If there’s a week when the flagship Bat-title’s in the mix, it’s the default choice for Batbook of the Week.
