Batman: R.I.P. by Grant Morrison
2.0
I have a very like/dislike relationship with Grant Morrison (mostly dislike). Yes, on one hand he introduced Damien who is plain awesome, on the other hand he ruined characters, such as Talia who has been reduced to a cold psychopathic villain so far gone from her original kick-ass self. Talia was one of the most complex characters in the Betman universe! Even Batman is written so badly and OOC that sometimes I just shake my head at the things he's saying.
But above all, what bugs me are his storylines! The ideas behind them are great, but their execution is pretty meaningless. Batman and Son for instance, again Damien is great, but he was not introduced in a manner that he deserved, Arkhum Asylum again was a great idea, but I hated the way it was executed. And this story, well I finished it and I found myself asking 'what was the point of it?' No but really, I get the idea behind it, it was a good idea, but I was just genuinely so confused about everything that was presented on the page. A bit of a disappointment.
