Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 1

Product Information

Bruce Wayne publicly announces that he is the financial backer of Batman and establishes a worldwide franchise of Batman that will protect the entire globe. Morrison takes these long-forgotten variations, erased even long before the Crisis on Infinite Earths attempted to modernize and reincorporate the comics.

These issues happen deep within Final Crisis, but Morrison uses that premise to tell a series of warped alternate-history versions of Batman's history. Now superheroes from around the world–and across the Multiverse–must make a last, desperate stand against the forces of Anti-Life. Even more importantly, it weaves back in another Silver Age story that had been mostly forgotten other than an artifact of the strange old days of the character.The conclusion goes down in Arkham Asylum, with Hurt attempting to use the Joker as a weapon against Batman. It’s interesting that, as the title implies, the story affords Batman a chance to reflect on his origin and whether – in the magical world of the DC Universe – Batman would ever take the chance to change things as they unfolded. She turns the controls over to a villain with a history with Dick Grayson forcing Batman to fight his Robin.

I.P, one of my favorite Batman stories that relies on the previous stories as well as the silver age and the Bat god written Batman who prepares for everything. This is the beginning of a stunning direction for the World's Greatest Detective that will team him with Catwoman, Batwoman and Batman on international crime-fighting missions against villans like Lord Death Man in Japan, Argentina, and other parts of South America. This is a first read so obviously I might be missing something but overall I would just rate this one as okay overall. So this crazy last arc leads to Bruce going head to head with the Black Glove organization in a nice bloody battle. In a mainstream genre (and a mainstream character) that so frequently run the risk of becoming stale, that is quite an accomplishment, and something to be celebrated.This is a series I would like to say absolutely nothing about and let individuals who are interested in it be able to find the pieces themselves.
