@~wynter:

You know, I have the same problem with fight scenes in movies, especially when the camera is jerky — I feel like it’s a cheat in order to avoid actually having to show how the hero wins the battle!

These two issues are the first Batman issues I’ve ever bought. If Morrison could keep this up, I might go back and skim through some of the other stuff.

It bugged me that Dick’s Batman busts out circus lingo right in front of the cops. Unless it was intentional, so as to give Gordon a (in my opinion) preeetty big hint as to what’s up. Yes, I know that “Batman” always knows everything, but… This just felt like a big ol’ flashing neon giveaway.

Also, Morrison wins for having the best interpretation of the “Dick Grayson ponders his fate while looking at the Batmantle case” scene.

Anybody else besides me have a problem with the fact that Damian is only ten-years old? Loved the dynamic betwen Dick and Alfred btw…

Brainy, you’re not the only one… There are a few issues of things I’ve seen where, by the end, it becomes PAINFULLY obvious to me that I missed something, usually in a “big spread”. I blame TV. I dunno how TV is to blame, but I blame it.

okay, I’ll admit it — I wasn’t quite sure what was happening in that 2-page spread — it looks very cool from a design perspective, but in terms of the fight itself, I had trouble figuring out how Dick won so quickly…

but then I find a lot of comic fight scenes nowadays to be visually incomprehensible… :(

The only way to make the companies listen is with your pocket book. You are still carrying your pocket book, aren’t you? :D

BATMAAAN!

BATMAAAN!

I’m enjoying the hell out of this book, and I think we should ask DC to do more like it.

I think the coloring is a thematic point. It gives the book a kind of subtle psychedelic look. Like the bright colors are just bleeding into air. It serves the same function that the lens flares did in Star Trek.

This issue ROCKED! For all that Morrison was worrying me during RIP and Final Crisis I gotta tip my hat to him now.

That two page spread was fantastic. I second websnap’s comment about our new, more agile Batman. I am really liking the dynamic between Alfred and Dick too.

it was a great read, loved the two page spread mentioned… I thought to myself “this is why Dick is Batman”.
