A review by mazloum
Batman: R.I.P. by Grant Morrison
4.0
Fantastic graphic novel. I received The Black Glove as a birthday present a few months ago, and it whetted my appetite for what would come afterwards. So, I picked this up immediately, and I was not disappointed.
The deconstruction of Batman as he comes under attack by the voracious Black Glove is absolutely enthralling, especially when it reaches its unexpected climax. Some might say that the book requires a certain suspension of disbelief with regards to Bruce Wayne's...let's call it paranoid nature. But, you know, this IS a comic book.
Of course, I'd be remiss to not mention the Joker, who's well into his 'Clown At Midnight' persona: a grim, murderous existence that you cannot help but fear a little. However, his monologue near the very end is nothing short of pure brilliance. Gotta love the Joker.
So, yes, pick this up as soon as you can. It's great.
