Quick Hits: Batman Incorporated #7 (DC)

The issue before the one everyone knows about, where Damian a.k.a. until his death the current Robin uh dies, in which events that have been the culmination not just of this second Batman Incorporated series or even the first but rather the entire run start to really build momentum.  It's been strange, since at one point Grant Morrison was unquestionably the Batman writer, and his stories were events even when they didn't have titles or crossovers.  By the way, this concept is the reason there's a book called Batwing in the New 52.  With Scott Snyder's "Death of the Family" letting everyone down who expected a major development, we may know now why that was, and why he'll soon be launching "Zero Year," thereby allowing him to do exactly what he's always wanted to do without anyone confusing his intentions again, playing with the continuity, which in a lot of ways is what Morrison has been doing, except with all the elements no one else knew what to do with, like making Talia al Ghul Batman's ultimate villain even before The Dark Knight Rises.

  1. I have to get around to reading the first Batman Incorporated series. I read issue 1 on Sunday and then got sidetracked with reading and playing video hockey.

    1. The first Batman Inc. series is almost entirely Morrison having fun writing single issue adventures that are pure fun to read, even though there is a cumulative effect.
