Batman/Detective Comics Series Discussion *Spoilers*

Re: Batman Series Discussion *Spoilers*

I don't think is THAT good, but with the last issue, they connected all Morrison's run in a single story. It's starting to get really good now. The last Batman... is it Damian?

I'm telling you, dude. It's going to get better and better with each issue, because pieces will keep falling into place.

I got the impression that all of the Ghosts were cops. Besides which, when Bruce is hallucinating, there's the two Batmen he encountered, a silhouette of the third, and then Damien standing aroudn like the Cryptkeeper. My bet is, there's some crazed cop out there who's at the center of all this corruption, who has some sort of cataclysmic plan for Gotham, and the Damian-as-Batman story is going to tie into the "What happens if the cop wins" scenario.

I'm with Zombipanda. This run is great...Morrison can do no wrong.

And I've always loved the art of (both) the Kubert's, so there's that as a plus. Seriously, I like this more than Dini's Detective Comics.

me too. Lots.

Has anyone noticed that Dini seems to be legitimizing all of Batman's old villains?

Hm.. I was thinking it was Damian, or even Bruce Wayne himself... the last one is the one that made a pact with the devil right?

Yep. We don't know if it's metaphorical or not, though.

I think it would make a lot of sense if the third ghost has made a pact with Intergang. Morrison worked on the Intergang-in-Gotham story in 52 and we're getting a Crime Bible miniseries in September, so that fits. I'm willing to bet the third ghost isn't either Damian or Bruce, though.

i feel like that's been a big trend lately. 52 made the mad scientists all work- it even made egg fu look pretty alright. and i'd say that the marvel/black marvel families got some much needed patching up. and they brought back krypto, supergirl and the bottle city of kandor- which i'm going to go ahead and say have become at least more legitimate than they used to be.

hell, morrison is apparently bringing back the international batmen, and if his run thus far is anything to measure by (and i'm sure most of us can agree that yes it is) then i think we can see even that being a legitimate concept.

ride bat-hombre! ride!

I meant, Dini's making a substantial portion of Batman's rogues go legitimate. Riddler, Penguin, Harley...

wait, do you mean legitimate, like, conceptually, or do you mean like, off of the crime (the crime is an addictive substance), like riddler being a p.i.?

my bad.

in the latter case, yeah that does seem a bit of a thing dini's doing, good catch. (that is an unsarcastic good catch, i had forgotten about that). that probably factors into the whole "batman has finally cleaned up the city" thing that keeps rolling around morrison's book.

Yeah. It was incredibly good. Dini understands the character so well.

#666 was pretty good. It should of been more epic. I bet he will come back to it sometime.

It just bores me, like all of Morrison's Batman so far. Hopefully now that Kubert's leaving the stories will become a lot more interesting.

Re: Batman Series Discussion *Spoilers*

I think #666 is sorta the same idea as the 'here comes tommrow' arc at the end of his X-men run. I'm almost positive he'll come back to it and explain how that potential future could come about.

My LCS was sold out of #666 when I went the other day. Despite your tepid responses, I was really looking forward to it.

I did, however, manage to pick up #667. Best issue of Morrison's run so far, in my opinion. An excellent premise, plenty of intrigue and mystery, and JH Williams III art(!). I like it.

Wait, Batman #667 is out?! I MUST HAVE IT.

Just read #667. This is what I've been waiting for in Morrison's Batman. I knew JHW3 would bring out the best.
