Seems almost pointless to try and add anything new to the reviews already posted for this book, but I like to try and flex my writing muscles once a week on this site and this was the book that had me most excited. From the word go I was engrossed, in both story and script. This is the realy economical Morrison that is more universally loved, and which seems to go hand in hand with Quitely. The car chase in the first few pages is pitch perfect. It's exciting and gloriously well timed, storyboarded excellently. It's iconic but it's new, has reverence for what's gone before but at the same time seems to be saying, out with the old and on we go with the new.
I'm still not exactly warmed to Damian, but in a good way. I love the way Morrison writes him, he can't help but talk down to Alfred and yet he's learning enough that he manages to say thank you. In two speech bubbles, Morrison says so much about what the character is and yet how the character has changed since he was first introduced.
As I read the book all I could really think was that this was just pure adrenalin on the page. I liked all of Morrison's Batman run so far, but this book had the one thing that all that lacked: Frank Quitely. The man is a genius. The style here is looser and kind of scratchier than we've seen before. There's something kind of European about it (which I appreciate Quitely kind of is, anyway). I saw elements of guys like Breccia, Hugo Pratt and Bilal, although I'm sure that's just me. When I reached that single, silent page of Batman and Robin swooping down above police headquarters I just grinned like a fool.
I'm more than certain that the Bat books are in safe hands from here on, even without Bruce. The only downside of a book as good as this, if there is such a thing, is the nagging sensation that it's looking at 50 % of what else you read and shouting, "Ha, Ha, Ha, don't even think about trying to compete!!"
