    I love this series, even more this week when I found out what the hell was going on in this book. Let me let you understand a little bit more on the craziness. During the 50s a single issue of Batman came out (located in the TPB Batman: In The Fifties, around page 168 or 198, one of those two) where Batman goes to this kind of parallel dimension, where he meets... himself in the land of Zur En Arrh. The Batman of Zur En Arrh looks exactly like you'd think, Batman and the Technocolor Dreamcoat style. Now, you might be wondering, "So, who cares?" Well, here's the kicker: Regular Batman in the Zur En Arrh dimension has powers comprable to Superman. And I assume vice versa also works. Now, we haven't seen Batman in this book currently with any super-powers, but the night is young. There's a few more things going on, like the fact I speculate that Zur En Arrh's Batman is that actual guy and Bruce is being held at that hospital by Hush (you must read Detective to understand all of the storyline). Thus, there are actually TWO Batmen/Bruce Wayne's running around Gotham right now. At least, that's my guess.

      Another brilliant Grant Morrison special 0

      Morrison uncorks Batman in Dante's Inferno in this issue. The Batman R.I.P. books are typical Morrison scatology kicked up a notch. What I love about this series and Morrison's work leading up to this storyline (as well as the All-Star Superman work) is that it mines long-buried and out-of-fashion source material to add depth and mystery to an avant-garde, contemporary take on the character. This is not Frank Miller's gritty urban Stark Knight, but a brilliant, pulp Batman, the love-child of Aga...
