Batman #672 Review

BATMAN #672
Written by Grant Morrison
Art by Tony Daniel

To be honest, I liked the first couple parts of this Batmen story that Grant set up after his initial Son of the Bat and the 666 issue was a fun romp through a future with Damian as Batman.

However, the long break didn't do the return to this story any favours. Morrison seems to be throwing out random crap at the wall and seeing what sticks in this story. There is no follow up or reference to the "major Ra's al Ghul event" that took over the books for the past month or two. Doesn't even seem like that story happened.

On top of this, this third Batman seems to be far superior to Bruce and takes him down with little to no effort. In fact, it looks like our Batman is a rank amateur and his heart is stopping at the end of this issue, prompting him to summon Bat-Mite for help. What the hell, Grant? You were supposed to get better as your run on Batman continued, not spiral out of control. The only saving grace in this issue is Tony Daniel's excellent art.

Verdict - Avoid It.
