I took a break for a while from this storyline but have recently been getting back into it. It actually seems to get better after the events of RIP in my opinion. The Batman & Robin series with Grayson as Batman and Damian as Robin is actually a really fun read and Dick makes a pretty good Batman.

Time and the Batman is where things really started to click for me though since it had "lost chapters" from RIP. If those had been included initally the whole story would've made way more sense. I'm on The Return of Bruce Wayne now which is pretty good. Have one more issue of it to go before finishing and moving on to the third volume of Batman & Robin and Batman Inc. to finish up the story.

I just came across Morrison's last Batman issue.
Spoiler:
The Heretic is unmasked and he's a giant hulking brute but with Damian Wayne's 10 year old face. He fails to kill Batman so Talia cuts his head off. Later on she beats Batman in a fight only to get shot by the original Kathy Kane.

I really like that Morrison brought all that old silver age stuff back in his ow unique way but it really didn't feel like a Batman story to me. And I hate the way he kills off villains, see Magneto's death. Actually I'm also disappointed with Damian being killed off too.


Any thoughts on Morrison's run?

Morrison's comics have always been plotted very densely and you need almost a cross-referenced index to understand what is fully happening. He also likes to hide critical or important elements in obtuse ways inside the narrative. I don't think it always works out, which is why I don't consider him on the same level as Alan Moore or Neil Gaiman.
