Blackest Night: Batman Who Burns, Always Burns

"Grayson Is Batman, Bruce Is Dead?" - Deadman. A blackest night tie-in. Batman (Dick Grayson) is fighting against the undead, using the help of Deadman. While other heroes around the world have had to come across pass failures, so will Dick Grayson. Grayson will have to conquer his fears to win Gotham City back! 
 

The Good

What a great tie-in! The first few panels on the first page worked perfectly. Dick Grayson was drawn best in the rain at the graveyard site of Thomas and Martha Wayne. Adrian Syaf's artwork for this comic flowed with the writing of Peter Tomasi. The story was well played out and everyone had their own special role. This Batman tie-in was only information on Black Lanterns and recapping on what has happened during blackest night. In this story line, Damian Wayne tells Dick what he is afraid of. Damian also respects Dick as his partner and his friend. This is totally different from other story lines.
 

The Bad

While it had a great story, it lacked all of the story lacked action. Their wasn't any fighting at all.  
 

The Verdict

Great story line, however no fighting. With a great comic like this it should have contained at least some fighting. The artwork was great, and the characters were drawn with great care. Overall this is a 4 out of 5.

I already know what you're thinking, 'how is this better than Blackest Night'? Now, I'm in no way saying that Blackest Night is bad or that issue one was not better than this, but I felt that this book was better than Blackest Night this month because Tomasi is doing what almost every other writer is failing to do with the new Batman and Robin, he writes them right. Tomasi's Batman and Robin is on par with Grant Morrison's. But while Morrison showed how Nightwing didn't have any respect or suppo...

While the main story arc of the Blackest Night is struggling a bit to find its footing, this tie-in miniseries puts a human face on the universe wide crisis which is occurring.  Instead of dealing with faraway planets and alien species, this issue focuses on what is DC's most realistic group of heroes, the Bat family.  Unlike usual their detecting skills are mostly absent, or at least not working fast enough to deal with the severity of what is occurring.  Instead it is only through the interfer...
