the_graylien's review against another edition
4.0
Here, the focus of Batman (who, for now, is Dick Grayson) becomes bringing Bruce Wayne back as Batman.
Can it be done? Isn't Bruce dead? What do a corpse, the lineage of the Wayne family, devil worship, and the al-Ghul clan have to do with it?
Morrison's Batman continues to become an instant classic in this volume. He takes a Batman title that doesn't technically involve Batman and makes it an essential read in the mythos of the Dynamic Duo.
Frank Quitely, Cameron Stewart, Andy Clarke, and others put forth amazing artwork and make it easy to get lost in the pages of this one.
Another excellent volume of Batman in the Morrison run.

Loved the art, the story was really good at times and then really slow and dragging at others which is why the 3 star rating. I wanted to like this more but I just didn't. Kind of a disappointment after the first volume started off so well.

Picking up shortly after the Blackest Night we find out just what has become of Bruce Wayne/Batman. So many twists, and surprises. This made for an epic story one that I cannot wait to see played out.

OMG. I want to hug Damian a lot.
Receiving a new spine and then discovering that his mother built in devices that let her control all his actions? OMG. *hugs him a lot*
Also, Dick, using the Lazarus Pit to resurrect Batman? I'm not quite happy with that.
I love the art in this one!

I think Morrison is going to be one of those writers that doesn't work for me. It all felt muddled--I kept missing that flashbacks were flashbacks, the English people were written as speaking So Very English it was hard to tell what they were saying, new people or plotlines were introduced in a rush. Most of the plot came off as "HEY LOOK AT THIS COOL THING I THOUGHT UP" and while that can be a fun read, here it just felt disjointed and strange. For all that there were some solid character moments in there.
The art styles still fall under "meh" for me.

Dick Grayson is playing Batman, bopping around in London with Squire and Knight in search of a mysterious pit in a deep dark mine while Damien is getting his spine replaced back at ninja assassin headquarters. Will the lazarus pit revive Brice Wayne? Will Damien shake off the influence of his mother? Who has been leaving clues across time embedded in the foundations of Wayne Manor?
Though carrying on the densely bonkers story of RIP and Final Crisis and with plenty of nods to then-current and ancient continuity, there's a marvelous crisp clarity to the storytelling, aided superbly by the art of Cameron Stewart. This is so much fun.
