    Batman incorporated: Fallen Son

    This Review is filled with Spoilers!

    The Good

    Yet again, Artist Chris Burnham has done a fantastic job with this story, his art is spectacularly good and throughout the entire series has maintained a very high standard. Another good point to this issue is just how Morrison manages to portray the characters, seeing Dick's reaction to Damian's sudden death was good but emotionally really struck at your heart, and it stayed true to the character.

    One of my favourite things about the Batman inc. series is the colours, I'm not sure why but the colours n Damian's costume seem so vibrant and exciting, it adds a well needed splash of colour to the usually quite grey Bat-Books.

    The Bad

    The layout of this issue was a little bit confusing, The individual scenes were fine, but the multiple time frames scattered through the issue and it's not very clear when each is happening compared to the others.

    Also, I wasn't too sure what was happening during the Jason Todd scene, and you really needed to have been reading some of Morrison's earlier Batman books to understand it.

    The Verdict

    A brilliant issue that worked well emotionally, needed some extra explaining but was very enjoyable overall.

      Fallen SonWhat can be said in preparation of this issue that has not already been stated? We lost Damian which most in the Bat community feel to be a tragic loss of a beloved character. I count myself among that number, yet I'm willing to wait see where Morrison (former writer of Rebellion's 2000AD and Batman and current writer of Batman, Incorporated and Action Comics) and the other Bat writers plan to take the story before I cry foul. It's already led to some powerful stories of loss most not...
