Once again I wonder why I keep reading Grant Morrison. Completely incomprehensible.
I have really no idea if this is any good or not.
I've had time to think. It's awful. There are good bits - but the overall impression is of a nicely illustrated but ultimately baffling story that's only real purpose is to kill off Robin.
Don't waste your time.

This didn't have as big an effect as I expected it to. Maybe because A Death in the Family was so great (Jason's death) in terms of showing Bruce grieving for one of his sons. I just felt like that one did a better job and there's some great stuff with him talking to Clark in later comics.
This felt shortened, in a way. Perhaps it's better done across other Batman books of the time. I'm sure they mention Damian. As this was compiled, it didn't do a lot for me.
Anyway, I enjoyed the bits with Damian and Dick working together. Even knowing what was coming, the actual scene and the memorial had an effect. I remain confused as to whether Morrison likes any female characters, to be honest. They don't get great writing, from what I've read.

Loved the run if Batman Incorporated. Would love more tales from it. Great conclusion to the Damian story.

The end of Morrison's run was so well constructed. I love that they took everything at face value, and their run was a deep look at how that affects a person's psyche.
The entire run was up and down for me, but mostly it slapped, and this was a fitting end to this kind of a downer Batman run. Not super uplifting, but damn good.
