Batman: R.I.P.

The truth of the matter is that I ultimately don't know what to make of this. Morrison is talented, but he's more of a concept guy than an execution guy. The idea of Batman going off the deep end and completely losing himself in the persona is fascinating, but the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh (with Batmite!) is just wacky. I just can't really take it seriously. That's not to say that there aren't any highlights here. I personally like this version of the Joker, and especially the explanation for the changes in his personality (a form of MPD that has him cycling through personalities). I loved seeing the International Club of Heroes again. I did like the art, though the panels could sometimes be confusing. Like the writing, come to that. But the title is misleading, and the last two issues included are unnecessary and even detract from the overall story. Probably more like 2.5 stars, but I'm grading up today.

Great review Sesana! I definitely agree with you that this book is just too confusing.

I agree! He does seem like a great concept guy! I feel like if someone sat down with me and explained what the story would be with pictures and excerpts; I would have enjoyed a lot more. The problem is the person who sat down with me while I was reading the comment (figuratively) didn't know how to narrate and threw around random pictures when he felt like it.
