This thread inspired me to finally check out Astro City, and I bought the first trade (Life in the Big City) yesterday, and finished it this morning. It's really a fantastic book. I'm looking forward...

This is an excellent observation, I won't be surprised if the next Inc plays out that way.

You're right. With only 3 issues left, he may as well just stop now and not complete the story. Makes perfect sense.

No, it shouldn't, you just read that wrong. It's saying that Damian sacrificed himself, and this is an affirmation of everything that Batman stands for (as an idea).

If you look at the post directly above your own, you'll see that your statement is clearly false.
I really don't know why I keep reading this thread.

What an embarassing thread this is. People actively trying to justify why they should be able to objectify women guilt-free is possibly a new low for me, on this board.

For the record, the whole...

Yup. He's also said something to the effect of "ultimately Batman will always have a Robin," I think in a semi-recent interview. He certainly has not said that there should not be a new Robin, just...

Most interviews I've read with Grant have had Grant saying something to the effect that Bruce deals with death differently from normal people, and can take tragedy and use it to fuel something...

RIP is excellent, but at least for me, I wasn't blown away by it the first time I read it. It's something that requires multiple reads to really get everything out of it. Reading The Black Casebook...

I don't think I've ever agreed with a CBR review, so this is par for the course.

So, this is my completely unsubstantiated guess for how the Lazarus Pit stuff is going to play out. Morrison's on record as saying that he doesn't plan to bring back Damian, and he wanted to address...

if that quoted list is accurate, then I'm actually pretty excited about the Batman and Robin #1 Batmobile. I don't usually buy these things, but I might make an exception for that.

I really don't hate the Heretic or have any desire to see him get "his comeuppance". Within the context of the story, he's basically two years old. I don't hold Damian's death against him any more...

I used to like Burton's Batman when I was a kid. I watched it again a few years ago, and man has it not aged well. I agree with those who said that Jack Nicholson was pretty much just Jack Nicholson...

Pardon?

Right now is post-Morrison on the main Bat-titles, and it's certainly the same Batman in every Batman book. The simple and obvious explanation is that these stories are not happening at...

So, this was a pretty fantastic issue. As others have said, Nightwing's reaction to seeing Damian was pretty much perfect. Morrison really has a handle on these characters, I'll be sad when this run...

That's what I was thinking. After all, Burnham wrote (or at least plotted) the #0 issue. I wouldn't be surprised if Burnham was leading on an epilogue issue in #13, perhaps leading to the...

I'd be interested in checking that out, if it's the case. Particularly if the book continues with a focus on Batman Incorporated and not just Batman.

I was initially worried that #13 wouldn't be Morrison and/or Burnham, but the only people listed on the book are Morrison, Burnham, and Jason Marsters, who has been doing the fill-ins, so it seems...

This is actually the most interesting plot point for me, right now. Grant said in an interview that the Red and Black theme in play since RIP will finally come to fruition with batman and the Red...

I'm impressed that you know how the rest of this series will play out based off a 3 page preview.

I agree. As far as fill-in art goes, it isn't bad. It isn't distracting, and manages to stay fairly close to Burnham's style at a glance. I'm hoping that the last few issues are all Burnham, though.

You can read any of the Batman titles starting from #1 and not get lost. The only possible exception to this is Batman Incorporated. Incorporated is my favourite of the Batman titles, but it's the...

Of course. I'm actually re-reading the run now for the 5th or 6th time, I think. I just finished The Black Glove again. It's amazing how re-readable this run is.

I've been wanting a new light-hearted Batbook since BQM's Batgirl was cancelled. I'm quite excited for this one.
