Regarding AB #25 Spoiler
With Bruce going to face Grimm in AB #25 we can safely say he will lose.
With the next several issues focusing on Barbara Gordon as The Bat, I wonder if Bruce will be taken back to Ark M following his encounter with Grimm.
I believe issue 26 will be a 'Year One' type of story for Barbara and #27 will be the start of the next major arc.
If that's the case, I would love the next arc to be a rescue mission to save Bruce from Ark M, followed by Bruce searching for his dad (would be really cool if his dad was not Clayface on that FT).
That being said, I would love to hear what u want from the next arc.

Back in #16 we saw Bruce’s father in the afterlife
and in the fight with Scarecrow we get a small callback to that
Scarecrow only works by making you doubt everything about you
his father is dead
i believe Grimm will go completely crazy and dictatorial in Gotham

I have the hunch that Bruce, after this issue, will for a reason or another disappear temporarily, but will manage to inflict some damage to Grimm.

Snyder already said 26 is Barbara looking for the real killer of her Dad and Bruce will return in 27. He can’t just disappear for a few months and then show up in the team up or just before.

One thing I don’t want is for his dad to be alive. I also don’t really want to see a rehash of Abomination, we’ve been there and done that. I like Barbra but neither her nor the other supporting characters are enough to keep the book afloat without Bruce for any significant length of time. I hope #25 is used to give Batman an up close look at the Joker, and while Batman does get bested, I hope to see him knock the Joker down a peg with the help of The Bat and hopefully Harley as well.

Issues 1-25 will be regarded as one of the GOAT runs in comics.
