@jasoninthewoods:
Grant Morrison has a solid background of the titles he writes. That's why you need to know well the hero before reading any Morrison book. He writes complexe stories, not some bad popcorn movie scenario. I agree you can sometimes get confused reading his books. But he always try to be original and does good to renew the titles. For Batman he brought in new vilains, created Damian Wayne, wrote the nice Batman Inc. None of his stories are horrible or awfull or bad or shit. Of course some are better, and some are a little less good. But he clearly has tallents, even if he is not my favorite writter.
As for those who say that Snyder is better. Let me disagree. He too has good ideas, looking into gotham's past for exemple. I loved Gates of Gotham and his Owls arc. But then I read Death of the Familly and I found it the worst story I've read of Batman ! And the joker's look !? Who agreed on this mask !? And Snyder, unlike Morrison, doesn't show that he knows well the Batman. Snyder is too inconsistent in his work. But to end on a more positive point, Snyder is not the worst writter. And it's not because the writting is mediocre that the public won't like it ! Look at Avatar for exemple, it won no prizes over its scenario !
To conclude, Morrison is a good writter, who knows well his subjects and his sales aren't bad. So why get rid of him ?
Sorry for the author of this thread but you don't know what you're talking about ! Open you eyes. And I don't like the tone of this thread's title !
