I can't recall too well those last few years of LotDK, but I seem to remember it becoming more tied in to canon/continuity than it seemed to be in the early issues. While storylines like "Venom" did find their way into the main books, early issues really seemed more like a chance for creators to tell the Batman stories they wanted to tell without being weighed down by all the continuity...almost a Vertigo-esque Batman book.
The thing with Batman as a whole is that while throwing the name on the book is a pretty good guarantee the people will pick it up and give it a try because Batman sells Batman, it is up to the team to hook the readers into coming back for issues three, four, and beyond. Finch failed miserably at that and I won't miss Dark Knight at all.
[comment removed because I completely forgot how long Grant was on the book. But, yeah, I like Stelfreeze's SotB covers]
