BRIGHTEST DAY #9
September 1, 2010 11:01 pm Tell me about it man! I actually think Tomasi handled him here, so I'd b ok with him too...However, I adamantly believe that Bryan Q. Miller should write GA, since I love GA on smallville and he writes for smallville! Thoughts?

Grant Morrison on Batman Inc.
August 10, 2010 6:32 pm I gotta second incredibledave about the similarities to EarthOne, but other than that I am loving the redesign (maybe because Dick's batman costume wasnt really much of a redesign, so I still get to see that suit around the DC universe)! I grew up with Michael Keaton and Batman TAS so I always thought of Batman with the yellow oval. I'm also digging the all grey batsuit, kinda reminiscent of howard porter in morrison's JLA. This batsuit actually looks a little more realistic to me. Its not entirely new, its just recombininb old designs in a new way. Hope DC builds on this stuff after Morrison leaves the batfamily (unlike Marvel House of M-ing all that Morrison did in New X-Men). Lastly, I'm pretty sure I would kill to see Frank Quitely's version of this suit...

BATMAN #700
June 9, 2010 2:47 am Though I am still enjoying Morrison's Batman Run, I have to agree with akamuu that the run has been bogged down with references. Though Damian Wayne has been developed and is becoming one of my favorite characters, he is a completely new creation by Morrison. I really feel like Morrison has not done Bruce Wayne or Dick Grayson justice at all. I enjoyed the first arc because, as Alfred said, it was about Batman learning to be Bruce Wayne again. After that, however, I feel like Morrison sacrificed any potential character development (the man learned he had a son, and what with how much his relationship has influenced him you think he'd be more focused on that rather than chasin' Jezebel Jet) and played up the whole Detective thing (esp. with R.I.P. and RoBW). Similarly, Dick Grayson was sidelined in a major way during the whole R.I.P. storyline and only got a chance to shine in B&R. Furthermore, the slight development of the Tim Drake and Damian Wayne rivalry introduced in the first arc was never touched upon again by him. Morrison has had a bunch of really good ideas, but never fully develops them. THEN AGAIN, a lot of Morrison's runs only make sense in their entirety; judgement should be reserved for when he finally finishes his Batman epic. SIDENOTE: Akamuu, out of curiousity, what is/was your favorite Batman era/writer/storyline?

Flashpoint Coming in 2011 From Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert
April 14, 2010 6:29 pm Hopefully this will be more akin to Sinestro Corps War and not Blackest Night in that it stays in the Flash book...my pocketbook could really use a break...so I'm assuming Brucie and not Dick will be wearing the cowl by this time.
