Batman Incorporated: The Deluxe Edition by Pere Pérez, Grant Morrison, Scott Clark, Cameron Stewart, Michel Lacombe, Dave Beaty, Yanick Paquette, Chris Burnham
4.0
It has a great and simple premise: Batman goes global and allows franchises to work as Batmans with a local twist and they share info and funds. Their identities are secret and they're all working to stop Leviathan, a global villainous crime ring.
Morrison of course has a screwball, bizarre and strange idea for villains and superheroes. Sometimes it gets a little to close to cliche (aboriginal, African, and Native American Batmen), but it also works for how out there the criminals are. The Argentinian superheroes and villains are fun!
The artist style is reminiscent of Moebius and Frank Quitely. It works better in other stories when the art style is changed, like for the backstory of Kathrine Kane, the first Batwoman, and the girl's school for assassins. The Katherine Kane story has the art style of old 4 color comics if done by Quitely. The girl's school is more modern and has the fun touch of the teachers based on pop stars with the headmistress clearly being modern Madonna.
Clearly the Batman series is the DC powerhouse.
