The result of the proposal was Merge Three ghosts of Batman to Batman & Son - But only what is verifiable, and directly relevant to the B&S article. Delete the remainder as unreferenced WP:OR. I'll leave User:Wordforge a note concerning this closure. - jc37 02:37, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

===How/what to merge===
As we are merging things it it strikes me the best approach is to refocus this to the trade paperback and also include smallish sections on the other two stories see Grant Morrison#DC Comics.
As was mentioned this all sounds like it is part of the build-up to Batman R.I.P. but at the moment, it seems to make sense as a standalone article (for now, but the sheer number of issues that people are suggesting the main storyline will run to I doubt there will be a big demand for a merge) and anything relevant to that story can be referred back to here.
The infobox is already a collected arc one so there shouldn't need to be any major reconfiguration - just add sections for the other stories and keep it brief. (Emperor (talk) 02:50, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: How/what to merge

message: The title of the character says 'Muller' but the name is Josef Miller. Which is it? I haven't read this new storyline (but seeing a Spoiler is back in fashion these days with Batman) so I don't know which name is correct. Tyciol (talk) 21:14, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Muller/Miller

message: Shouldn't the title of this article be Batman and Son? It appears this way on DC's website currently, in the Grand Comics Database, as well as the Library of Congress. Per Wikipedia's Manual of Style, "and" should be used unless the ampersand appears in the title. However, that's at least three sources that indicate that the ampersand is not used in the collection's title. (I don't recall how it appeared in the original issues of Batman.) --GentlemanGhost (converse) 00:09, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I've always thought it was "and", so I would not oppose. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 02:03, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I can give you a fourth source: the "trailer" citation used to source the title "Batman & Son" at the beginning of the article actually consistently refers to the story as "Batman and Son". To make sure, I tried putting "& Son" into the "find" function, and got no results on that page. It would be nice if we knew how it appeared in the original issues of Batman, but even if those use "Batman & Son", I'd say the graphic novel is a better indication of the WP: COMMONTITLE.--NukeofEarl (talk) 14:25, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with all comments posted so far; use "and" instead of the ampersand. Spidey104 19:49, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Very good. I think I'll wait a few more days to make sure there are no objections. As long as there aren't, I will move the page. --GentlemanGhost (converse) 00:28, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
