    Not, sure, I think losing FQ might lose it a few pulls. How come it’s a two man art team this week? Philip Tan and Jonathan Glapion?

    @Spidey2 – I’d be surprised.  The fact that Mr. Quitely is off the book and Mr. Tan is on it will probably lead to fewer pulls than previous issue.  But I hope I’m wrong.

    I’m really, really hoping that Mr. Tan will pull this off.  Do we know anything about Mr. Glapion?

    @stuclach Unless im mistaken he was with Tan on his run in Green Lantern. I think he is the regular inker for him.

    I have to agree though that the pulls will be at least slightly fewer. The change of art is the only reason though. THis book is great so far.

    @rift1128 – It appears you are correct about him being his regular inker.  I also agree that the writing has been so exciting that the art would have to be exceptionally bad to turn me off of the book.

    I am enjoying Damian’s character development, I’m sure finding out the girl he was meant to save has been recruited by the Red Hood will be great fodder for Morrison. Hopefully the new artist will sell Robin’s growth as well as FQ did.

    Yeah, Tan and Glapion work together as a full-package "Art team" that pencil, ink and color their stuff. I think the fact that Glapion wasn’t attached to the Agent Orange story is why it looked so heavy.

    Looking forward to this. Can’t wait.

    Not a fan of Tan, especially after that medicore Agent Orange arc in Green Lantern.

    But I’m not ready to condemn this thing just yet. Morrison, I’m sure, will provide another exciting issue like he has done for three straight months. Who knows? Maybe Tan will actually be suited for this thing.

    Even with the artist change, this title is out-pulling Blackest Night (at this moment). Interesting.

    I also think it’s a toss-up between Joker and Jason Todd as being under the hood. I think in some interview from this past spring Morrison said that he was going to use Jason Todd in B&R, though, so he might’ve given it away then…

    I’m curious about the art change, but I’m even more interested in seeing if the storytelling shifts some for the new art as well.

    @Crippler Please see The Killing Joke. (which is post-Crisis.) But yes. This is conceivably why it is logical for Joker to be Red Hood again.

    Wikipedia to the rescue.  I’m not crazy – "The Red Hood first appeared in Detective Comics #168 "The Man Behind the Red Hood" (February 1951). In the original continuity, the man later known as the Joker was a master criminal going by the alias of the Red Hood." 

    Having the Joker under the Hood as a nod to the original story would be just like something Morrison would do.

    Well Ed Brubakers ‘The Man Who Laughs’ was suppositely a continuation of Killing Joke. It’s like the first time Batman actually fought the Joker. That referenced Red Hood quite a bit.

    Red Hood has been a staple for Batman books for a while now.

    The Joker is going to be showing up in Gotham City Sirens before this B&R arc is over, so I think that might be a strike against him being the Red Hood. Who knows with Bat-editorial, but I don’t think they’d overlap Joker stories.

    I just picked up FC:Revelations and the Tan art in that is pretty damn sweet.  There are certainly times where I can’t tell what is going on or it looks rushed, but no where near the muddiness that was in Agent Orange.  Hopefully, since he is working with Glapion, we’ll get some great artwork here.

    @drakedangerz – I didn’t particularly like the Tan art in FC:R.  I’m not an art expert, but it felt messy (for lack of a more appropriate word) to me.  Too many things happening on the page at once.

    @Stuclach-I totally see that, but I feel it was much better than his GL work.  He has great potential to convey fear and creepiness, which I am guessing is what Morrison wanted with this arc.  I’m somewhat surprised he isn’t doing some work in Blackest Night instead of this actually.

    There is a preview for this and it’s kinda long on ign.com. So if you dont wanna see a good 1/3rd of the comic then I wouldnt recommend it. But I didnt read the narration or the diaologue, I just saw the art.

    I enjoyed the story, but the book didn’t have the pop it did for the first 3 issues.  The first 3 felt revolutionary.  This one felt like a very solid book that was a bit unspectacular.  Mr. Tan may be a wonderful person and is certainly a better artist than I can ever be, but his art just feels too messy and too busy for my tastes.

  57. flapjaxx says:
    September 16, 2009 at 9:33 pm

    @RLPrime: Last we heard, in Batman #674 Lane "The Third Man" reproached Bruce for having broken the "gun-Batman’s" hands. Since he wasn’t there with Lane and the "Bane Batman", I assume he didn’t break out of police custody or whatever. It would really be anticlimactic for Morrison to make that guy the Red Hood. On the other hand, the part of me that’s obsessed with the minutiae of Morrison’s Bat-run would love to see that guy again, but…I doubt many others even remember that guy.

  60. Avatar photo TheNextChampion says:
    September 16, 2009 at 11:08 pm

    @RLPrime/flapjaxx: One of the Batmen died, the Bane one never was found after debuting. The final one who is Michael Lane is now the new Azrael. In the 3 issue mini this summer it explains why he’s the new Azrael.

    Alright I wanna put my 2cents on who this Red Hood is. Because it’s probably going to be the talk of this issue and the next two. I believe it is not Jason Todd only because of the way Morrison has Hood talking. Now Jason is a grown man and of course he could talk like a philosopher like Red Hood did in this issue. but considering how Todd’s personality has been lately….He’s too much of a brute to do this type of speech.

    However, and if you look back at the older Morrison issues, this has to be Joker. Red Hood sounds exactley like how Joker has been talking in Morrison’s run for the last couple of years. Plus (as PraxJarvin stated among others) he is so insane that he’s changing his M.O. to do the joke. Plus the final line he makes in this issue where he’s talking in his H.Q., he laughs. That to me is a dead give away.

    I gotta say I really didn’t like the art in this one.  Especially how he drew Batman.  Thank goodness he’s only on for 2 more issues.  What this does reinforce however is how perfect Morrison and Quitely are for each other.

  63. flapjaxx says:
    September 16, 2009 at 11:56 pm

    @TNC: You mean the gun-Batman (from Batman #655) is dead now? When did that happen? I’ve never read any of the new Azrael stuff. About the "Bane Batman", he technically did reappear after debuting, because he first appeared in 664 and then he reappeared to help Lane in 674.

    And about the Red Hood, yeah I did think that the one word "Heh" was potentially the most revealing of the character. Morrison is always like that, giving character’s distinctive little tics. (Bruce has "Hh.") As to whether it’s the Joker or not, I have no opinion. Could be.

  64. Avatar photo TheNextChampion says:
    September 17, 2009 at 12:04 am

    @flapjaxx: The Batman who shot at Bruce and tortured him for a bit became Azrael. The one that went after Joker I believe died. You are right about the Bane batman, he did come back. However I don’t believe he came back since that issue. I need to reread that trade where they come back.

    When Morrison wrote for Joker, he used the word ‘Heh’ a bunch of times. Besides it just seems something Joker would do. Trying not to laugh at his ultimate plan, because he doesn’t want to give the joke away.

    @TNC: Gotcha. Let me know if you track down the issue that makes you think the gun-Batman died. I think he’s still out there, unless he’s referenced in the recent Azrael stuff. He wasn’t killed in Batman #655. The last reference to the gun-Batman that I know of is in Batman #674, with Lane saying that–while Bane-Batman broke out of prison–gun-Batman is still out of commission with broken hands that Bruce apparently gave him.

    I wasn’t too offended by the art here. I thought the action/costumed scenes were alright, but the civilian side looked pretty bad to me. It also didn’t have great pacing. When the Hood appears in the building w/ the crime bosses, I found myself going back to the pages before to try and figure out the layout of the room to see where he came from. Not out of curiosity, either, I just felt lost. Which, if I can’t accept a caped individual appearing out of nowhere in a Batman book, I think it’s the fault of the artist; I thought maybe he came in through the window, maybe he was there the whole time; all I know is I should be able to just go, "Oh, he’s there now.", but I didn’t. Maybe it’s just me, though.

    Is this a downgrade from Quitely? Absolutely. If you look it like that then I can definitely see why anyone wasn’t down on the art on this.

    But if you look at it (like I guess how I looked at it) and see it as just an issue by Philip Tan and nothing more…..it’s totally the best thing I’ve seen of his. So while I definitely respect anyone who didn’t like this issue because of the art, I think we need to judge this more as a single issue and not for the big change here.

    Very good issue. The art is different but I really enjoyed it. Just look at the first two-page spread with Lightning Bug jumping from building to build, great art, great layout great langauge telling you what to read in what order. That’s good comicbooking. However, I do agree with Stuclach that some of the panels are crowded and busy, but I feel that Tan’s heavier, darker style fits the story. Quitely’s work is a little too… whimsical for the type of Tarantonian-violence depicted here. 5/5 for me. I’m still thinking it’s Joker, though.

    As for the Red Hood my money is still on the Joker, but I’ve had a new thought.  With Thomas Elliot going off the deep end and pretending to be Bruce, is there any way that he would go so far as to become the Red Hood as well?  I know I’m really going out on a limb here but I had to share the thought.

    I like Tan. I like Morrison. I like the new Batman & Robin, I approve,

     

    And Damien still has some of the best lines.

    the art did NOT bug me.  Enjoyable issue (and I also think it might be the Joker under the red hood).  Once again, a good "shared moment" ("nice night, huh?") as we watch the relationship develop between the new Batman and Robin.  I hope Bruce Wayne stays away for years (or comes back as DC’s version of "Nomad" or something) because this new pairing is the most exciting thing to happen to Batman in many years.  I’m on board for the long haul.

    @smeeeee: i think Quitely best work was the new x-men run he did with morrison. If you haven’t already you should check that out and try me it’s not good.

    I Like that weird motif Morrison uses of equating or describing superheroes and supervillians in terms of sex appeal and coolness. It’s like he applies the rationale behind Bands and Musicial acts to superheroes.

    He’s kind of admitting; Hey, come on, we all like these people because they look good and (in some case) dress cool.

    I didn’t like Quitely’s New X-Men work. I actually didn’t like New X-Men in general. I may have to go back and read it some time.

    @smee So you prefer Tan to Quitely, eh?  I’m starting to think that ‘typo’ wasn’t a typo at all, and you are in fact The Joker.  And now i’m scared.

    Damn this issue is down to a 4 overall. Pretty damn low (though that was my score).

    @edward, miyamotofreak
    I didn’t like the 1st few arcs Quitely did on New X-Men. Jean Grey looked like a giraffe, Cyclops’ face looked like an Easter Island statue, Emma Frost looked like a midget with average-sized legs and arms, Wolverine looked like some kinda weird, 50 year old body builder from the 1940s or something. When he came back on for the Riot at Xavier’s arc I liked it a lot better; he really toned down the stuff I mentioned (all of which I realize is due to my already having preconceived notions of the characters and how they should look). For my money, his best work is All Star Superman with We3 not far behind.
