Batman Inc. (comic)

12 on New 52 - Batman Inc #11 reviewHow to explain the craziness of Batman, Inc. #11... Well, it's a filler issue. I should say that first and foremost. It has nothing--absolutely nothing--to do with the story we've been following for the past 10 issues and could easily be skipped. It's instead a comic that would've fit far better in the Pre-New 52…
The gatefold cover of Batman Inc. #10 is one of the only ones I've seen that actually spoils the comic's ending. I like the cover, but it really does take all the impact out of the story's final pages so if you can somehow avoid seeing the fold-out reveal I recommend you do that. Not…
I'm writing this as I pack for my trip to New York so forgive me for being brief, but Batman Inc. #9 was a bit of a cluster***k of ideas. We're constantly weaving in and out between scenes that happen immediately after Damian's death, his funeral, the Knight's funeral, Jason Todd's capture, and a couple…
Even if you don't usually read Batman Incorporated, issue #8 is required reading. Like it or hate it, what happens here is going to resonate in all other Batman comics for (ideally) years to come. I tried to stay quiet about what happens in this comic all week. People have even been emailing Batman-News saying we…
This issue is a mess. There are a number of really interesting things going on and really expressive artwork but it feels like it was written by someone with a severe case of attention deficit disorder. Page after page jumps around so abruptly that by the end of the comic I felt like I had…
There's a whole lot to love about this issue but there were also a lot of things that had me scratching my head. It's a must buy because some major developments occur and Grant Morrison drops in some cryptic lines that'll definitely get a debate going too so it's definitely a fun read. So let's…
This was a pretty astounding issue. Astounding. When this issue was first announced I was annoyed at the fact that we would be deviating from the central story yet again, but that turned out to not be the case. Yes, we see the possible future of what would happen if Damian became Batman, but it's…
I hope Zero month didn't throw you off enough that you can't remember how issue #3 ended because this comic hits the ground running. It's not so much an issue on its own as it is the conclusion to issue #3. Kill Box, as it is appropriately titled, is one big fight scene overloaded with…
This one might be a bit divisive. So I'll make your decision on whether or not to buy this easy: Do you like the campy characters from Batman Inc. Volume 1 (El Gaucho, Knight & Squire, Dark Ranger, etc.)? If so, then you'll probably enjoy this. If you didn't like all of those colorful characters…
Worth the wait? Yes. As I said in the Upcoming Comics article, I love the idea of Matches Malone. I think he's the most underused weapon in Batman's arsenal. I wish Batman would infiltrate the mob and sniff around Gotham's underworld more often in this alter ego or any disguise, really. It's just cool to…
Upon setting aside my hatred for the Batman Incorporated concept, I actually enjoyed this book. It's fun. Some parts are smart, some parts are outright dumb, the art is almost always beautiful, and none of it is predictable. My Thoughts on Batman Incorporated You can skip this section if you want. Recognizing the looming threat…
I hate the way the Aurora shooting is being handled. I hate it because he's winning. And he isn't winning because he was clever, because he wasn't. I shouldn't know his name, I shouldn't know his face, his act of cowardice should not be given a fancy title for better headlines, I'm tired of seeing…
Batman, Robin, and company are barely in this issue at all and there aren't any shocking moments like there were in issue #1 but what it does deliver is the most important Talia Al Ghul story ever told. Chris Burnham is one of my favorite artists and he does a bang-up job on this issue.…
This is a very engaging read. It's funny, it's imaginative, action-packed, and it has the best pacing I've seen in some time. I'm not a die-hard Grant Morrison fan and I seem to like his stuff as often as I hate it, but I think he knocked it out of the park with this issue.…
The final two issues of Batman Incorporated are finally here after months of waiting. Was it worth the wait? Yes. Did DC handle the publishing of these two issues well? Absolutely not. And that’s “Leviathan Strikes” biggest failing. It’s not the art and it’s not the writing, it’s the publishers fault. The hiatus between terrible…
