it was amazing
bookshelves: comics, dc, 5-stars

I've read some of Morrison's spectacular Batman run already, specifically Batman & Robin and Batman Incorporated. I am currently on a streak of Batman frustration, what with that awful recent movie and the fact that I purchased Dark Knight Returns after that only to find out that I hate it, too. So, I desperately needed a good Batman book, as soon as possible. And boy, does Morrison deliver.

This book is so full of cool, fresh ideas. I was already fond of Damian Wayne going into this, but it was great to learn how he came about and first ended up with Bruce. It was also nice to see the Club of Heroes, who later become Batman Inc., gathered for the first time (well, in Morrison's run, anyway). And the last several issues, about the Batman replacements and Bruce, while unconscious, having flashbacks and hallucinations, was probably my favourite part of the whole book, which is surprising, because I'm usually not a fan of Morrison getting abstract.

Still, it was a really enjoyable read. Once again Morrison proves that he knows and understands his characters � especially the two biggest heroes out there, Batman and Superman � like they are his own. He basically makes them his own, while staying true to their roots and origins. And he gives you a very fun and exciting story to go with it. I am going to pick up Batman RIP soon, because I really want to know what happens next.
