| Quietly's take on Batman Inc. (via the New York Post and DC Comics) |
We all saw this coming, much like Bucky, Dick has been doing way to well in his mentor's boots. A lot of fans did not want the Dick Grayson version to go, and now they don't. Instead, Bruce becomes Batman International, taking on crime around the globe while Dick/Batman (Dick-man... uh... Bat-Dick... uhm B2? ) stays home with the flying car and continues to clean up the streets.
What does this mean for Tim (Drake) Wayne? Will he lose the "Red" and just become the International Robin? Or will we just see Batman and Red Robin in the pages of BATMAN Inc. and Dark Knight?
One thing is certain, we are hilariously close to comedy when they both show up at the same spotlight.
Bat-Dick?
Bru-man?
KNOW YOUR BATMEN
Again I am left to wonder if Morrison honestly doesn't understand who Bruce Wayne is? First he has him use a gun in Final Crisis and now he has him abandoning Gotham City. This is a basic aspect of the character that Morrison is throwing away. Bruce's goal is clean-up Gotham and given the option he would never hand that off to anyone else. Has no one learned from Final Crisis Morrison can't do in-continuity stories.
ReplyDeleteI so Agree with you. To be, he missed the point of who Bruce is. (although I see this as a cool concept) I just dont want my Batman to be "international". Bruce is Gotham! Now I like the JLA view from the late 90's that Bruce was a part timer... call on as needed. If we want to stick to the roots that made Batman the dark (solo) character we like, its hard to have a Robin... let alone an incorporation. I could asily see this ending badly... maybe on purpose. What happens when a handful of Batmen are killed and its on Bruce's shoulders, the way jason's death was on his shoulders.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree... when its out of continuity, Morrison can write his ass off... but DC proper... his vision warps the mainstay too much.
