Re: Batman Series Discussion *Spoilers*
We can talk about the Morrison/Kubert run here.
I read the first issue today. Like I'm sure you all know, I wasn't really looking forward to this, and I thought Detective Comics was better. I was correct.
It starts off with Gordon falling off a building, laughing insanely. He's been poisoned by The Joker. Cut to The Joker thinking he's killed Batman, and then Batman grabs the gun and shoots The Joker in the head... someone tells Batman that he's not dead, and Batman chucks The Joker in a rubbish bin.
Alfred tells Bruce that he needs to relearn how to be Bruce, and they talk about how Tim is going into the mountains, etc. Bruce goes to a party and runs into Dr. Langstrom, who rushes out. He meets with some secret League of Assassins people who ask him if he got it.
Bruce is out at a party, talking to woman, (Alfred reads Artemis Fowl - cool!), and is secretly being monitored. It cuts to a page with a woman and a boy watching Bruce on the screen, with many Ninja Man-Bats above them. The boy states that Bruce is his father.
It was alright I suppose. I still don't like Kubert's art that much, and the storytelling was kind of dull. Batman took up a gun... something he swore he'd never do. :?
Detective Comics was better.
