Batman: R.I.P.
by
Far better then I remembered. And at last re-reading again this descent into madness after years, I finally understood what the f@%% was going on.
A tale not for anyone indeed... maybe I was reading too many Marvel/Disney Channel comics when I not enjoyed much this gem first time (still a Marvel Zombie, but almost all House of Ideas comics post Secret Wars are so terrible for me, but for a few exceptions, that I'm reading or re-reading more often something else in these times).
And Tony Daniel's artworks (that I love since his high-testosterone X-Force/Spawn 90s debuts) were just perfect for this story: like razor slashes painting red all the violence, trauma, madness and abuse inside this crazy comic book.
Morrison is crazy for good, but you can only admire his deconstruction of a pop culture icon like Batman, pushing backinto the Dark Knight continuity all previous stories since 30s "deleted" after Miller's Year One.

I hated it too first time, James. Re-reading it just after Batman and Son and The Black Glove volumes helped a lot.
