    Review: Batman, Incorporated #4

    The new Batwoman gets an odd crash course in the life story of her predecessor at Kane's Kollosal Karnival.
     

    The Good

    Good lord, does Morrison remind you why he's an A-List writer with this one. From the dreamy, surrealistic mood to the virtuoso storytelling devices, it's hard to miss why he's such a master of the field. Burnham's art is just gorgeous to look at,  evoking the work of Quitely, Williams and classics of the Silver Age while still maintaining an identity all his own. 
     

    The Bad

    It does seem to fly in the face of this book's effort to push Batman into the future if it's got a whole issue devoted to one of the hokier and more involved remnants of Pre-Crisis continuity. The classic Batwoman, in particular, always seemed to represent how far Batman could get away from his core concept by establishing a whole "family" of crime fighters - - and this is bringing all of that back!

    The Verdict - 4.5/5

    I suppose my summation of "the Bad" explains why this is such an accomplishment. For all my reservations about Batwoman and her place in continuity, this single issue makes the best argument regarding her importance in the mythos. Once again, Morrison makes abundantly clear how fascinating the more surrealistic corners of Gotham can be.

    Making all those ridiculously absurd elements of Pre-Crisis awesome and continuitous is one of the things Morrison does best!

      Issue 4 of Batman Inc and the reason im getting it because Batwoman is in it and I need my fix of her.  The Story: Batman and Gaucho are still in EL Sombrero's trap and Batwoman is chasing after a woman and meets another women dressed up as Kathy Kane Batwoman.  The Good: Morrison is able to pull in anything from the Batman mythos and have it make sense.Here we have how the orginal Batwoman fits in Batman's early days,Whats also cool about the art in those portions are the same as you would back...

      Cover:  Angles.  And more angles.  Actually, all kidding aside, it's a very cool looking cover.  I really dig how it portrays Batwoman at the top and Wayne down below, and the angular (if you couldn't tell) approach taken.  The Good:  For maybe the second time this series I am able to understand an issue.  This one relates to the last issue a great deal, but it's also a terrific stand-alone issue.  What I mean is that it gives you a beginning, a great retrospect of old characters and then redefi...
