    Batman is dead. Batman is alive. Batman is dead. Batman is alive. Batm... Wait, WHAT? We all know that this crazy spring will bring to us a ressurection of Bruce Wayne. Now my question is, WHY is this issue should be even interesting? 'coz this is a BN story & the whole affair should be twisted around Dick Grayson, trying to resurrect his master (let's call him that, lol) in lost Lazarus pit. So I had a doubt, buy it or not? What's unusual could give me a story with notoriously known end?

    Basically  - nothing. And here is to begin a huge part about it for what I like Grant Morrison. He's a genius. End of story. With the sh!tty character (just can't stand Dick as the Bat) he creates an outstanding adventure. His B-Man isn't that noir dude from the past. He is a modern, trendy superhero, wearing the cowl only because of the circumstances. Nothing more. While Tony Daniel writes "classic" Batman comic, as it's been written twenty years ago, GM refreshes the series. Makes it more attractive for young and new readers. I like it. Reads awesome.
    # 7 does not contain any intrigue, revelations or escarpment. But this is an ideal example of the modern DC comics, not afraid to risk.

      Batman and...(Knight and) Squire? 0

      Following the events of Batman and Robin #6 and apparently Blackest Night we find Dick Grayson in England pretty much doing what he does best.  Being a hero.  Saving some lives, jumping though buildings and saving the day.  We see Batman going to what I would assume is the equivalent of Arkham Asylum in England.  While I personally didn't get anything out of the conversation he has there, you will notice the Dominoes that were made famous in the first arc involving Toad and Professor Pyg.  Its n...
