Batman and Robin 7 - What is there to say? Brilliant, brilliant,
brilliant. I want to do a real meaty review, but I won't have time
until maybe Sunday at the earliest, if at all. For now I'll just say
that this is the finest era of Batman I have ever witnessed. Every
character is on point. Every scene is economical to a fault, brimming
with creativity and style. Somehow Grant Morrison made Beefeater
talking to Dick Grayson in an underground prison intriguing, hilarious,
and ominous all at once. Great reference to Drummond, who made an
appearance in James Robinson's Superman book recently. I love the
reigional accents, the crime family feuds. I love that Morrison makes
subtle reference to Seven Soldiers, and implies that the Lazarus pits
are really just side effects of the Cauldron of Rebirth. I like his
seamless incorporation of Batwoman and Blackest Night into the book,
since I'm falling both. What I love most of all, though, is how spot on
his Dick Grayson. How heartbreakingly unmovable he is in his belief, in
his need to believe, in Batman. In Bruce Wayne. I love how clear it is,
without being heavy handed, how much his relationship with Bruce meant
and means to him. "No. It's HIM. He ALWAYS cheated death" he says, in a
quiet voice, and you know that he so desperately wants to believe it.
It layers an entirely new dimension on his conversations with Tim --
It's not that Tim is any more fervent in his love for, or belief in,
Bruce -- it's that he's more open about it. Dick new he had a
responsibility, and intended to honor that responsibility, but he
believes in the legend of Bruce Wayne just as completely as Tim, maybe
even moreso -- remember, it was Dick who was around for all of those
crazy, improbably adventures. Tim's time with Batman has been
relatively tame, in terms of weirdness.
It's so easy to consider Morrison a big concept guy -- more concerned with the ideas than the impact those ideas have on his characters -- but this run is ALL about the characters. Every arc, every issue, has some astoundingly resonant scene or page or panel. His characters are so human here, in a way that can often be lost in big superhero work.
And the art? The art is great, just cartoony enough. The first scene really tells the tale, in my eyes, as Stewart borrows heavily from Quitely without actually aping his style -- the same basic layout structure, the same dynamic TYPE of storytelling, but with a finish and a polish that is all his own.
It's great. It's pitch perfect. It's my best of the week, as I knew it would be.
9/10
