    I enjoyed the Corps War the whole way through, as individual issues and as a complete story. With RIP though, I don't think I'll really be able to say anything about it until the end when all the pieces are in place and I can see everything. As it is now, reading an issue is like walking through an M. C. Escher drawing, but I feel like it will come together in the end and I might appreciate it better at that point.

    Agreed, if Batman RIP manages to tie up properly than it could be great. As it is, it's all a bit confusing. I liked the alien Zur-en-arrh Batman subconsious personality idea and seeing Batman running around crazy. Corps War was fantastic though, it's a high standard to reach.

    I enjoyed both quite a lot, Sinestro corps had the action, R.I.P has the psychology aspect. I wanna see if the writers give R.I.P a good ending first.

    I do, it ain't that hard to figure it out if you pay atention to the story and the build up for it

    Batman is now more "broken" than he ever was, yet as the Batman of Zue-en-arrh he is more dangerous than ever before

    Agreed. Even though Sinestro Corps War has been the greatest "push" For the Lantern Corps, Batman on-going series have always been amazing.

    The Life of Alfred Pennyworth

    1:1 - Childhood

    A young chubby boy, Alfred Pennyworth was born and grew up in a small town about 13.295 miles north south south east of Liverpool, England. He suffered many difficulties growing up, including being overweight, he had a drunk of a father who would often beat on his mother, who occasionally enjoyed cross-dressing as a male and intimidating military troops. Hating his father, young Alfred often turned to his mother for guidance and leadership, which is why at such a young age he was influenced to join the army. Having seen so many young troops in and out of their small 1/2 bedroom house, it was programmed in Alfred's mind that the military makes his mother happy.

    1:2 - Teen Years

    At 18 Alfred had joined the British reserves, however having joined in 1945, he wasn't really reserved and sent straight into the German front. After spending months in the trenches and enduring weeks without good food or clean filtered tap water and having witnessed the suicides of fellow soldiers, Alfred decided to create a boardgame called Monopoly. They based the "Monopoly Guy" character off moments when Alfred's comrads would get on the "green" and dress Alfred in a monicle and top had. After 3 years of service and 2 Medal of Honours, Alfred climbed up the ranks quicky and found himself in working for British Intelligence by 1949.

    1:3 - The Glory Days

    After serving 30 years in British Intelligence 1969 had fell upon him, he had aged yed wisdom had grown upon him and he was one of the most respected members of British Intelligence. Years serving 00 agents with their gadgetry and weapons under the Alias "Q". He soon found himself being forced from behind his desk and back out into the battlefeid serving in the Vietnam war. He found himself serving as a Feild Marshal for the entire British Militia. Having rescued several comrads of multiple nations he was awarded another medal of honour for his 2 years service in the Vietnam war.

    2:1 - A New Life

    During the Vietnam war, Alfred had made connections with agents and governing bodies of the American Government was suaded to open office in Washington D.C. The year is now 1984 and Alfred Pennyworth is reprenting British Intelligence working out of Pentagon. His wife of 11 years, Le Nyugen and 2 sons Jackie and Chan lived with him in his large $300,000US home (1984) driving a Escalade to work. Alfred was later again called to served in the Gulf War. His connections with the American government allowed the real reason for Iraq's invasion was not only for the oil, but a secret mystical Prophecy of the chosen one's guardian.

    2:2 - The Prophecy

    Legend tells that the ancient scroll can only be opened and read by the chosen one chosen to guard the chosen one. It also tells that the chosen one's name will be symbolized through the gain of wealth from oil after Iraq's Invasion... Wayne. in 1985Iraq was invaded, a scroll was obtained and Trillions of dollars worth of oil was reaped from the ground, the man to profit was Dr. Thomas Wayne and from this profit was able to establish Wayne Enterprise. The scroll was obtained by Alfred and it turns out he is the chosen one to guard the chosen one because he opened the scroll and read it.

    3:3 - Forfilling the Prophecy

    It was then decided by the World Governing Order (Secret Underground Government Agency that really knows whats going on) that Alfred would be apointed as the butler for Wayne Manor, as it was clear their only child Bruce was the chosen one chosen to protect Gotham, which is where Alfred now lives... in Wanye Manor.

    4:1 - The Legend Begins

    25 Years had passed and young Bruce Wayne had now become a man. Alfred's mission had become a success as Bruce became Batman and succesfully protected Gotham from all the bad guys.

    the Corps War was far superior to anything R.I.P has brought out so far...

    RIP might bring out all the stops at the end and show me wrong, but from what i've read so far i haven't seen anything that could knock Corps War off the top spot

    RIP is hilarious/awesome if you read the Zur En Arrh Batman issue from the 50s. It brings a lot of new light to the story arc.

    However, SCW was by far one of the best story arcs from the DCU in years. Comparing the two is almost unfair.

    GL sales went up ten fold in our company when SCW was happening.

    Batman sales have remained steady while RIP is happening.

    True, more sales does not mean better story. However, SCW brought in so many new readers to the book, it reached a mass market. And for a space book, that's a big deal. The cosmic stuff never sells as well as Earth based books. Case in point, Annihilation. Great story, no one cared.


    SCW sold more and set up for at least two more big story arcs. RIP looks like it will just stand on it's own, which isn't a bad thing.

    It's still a good story. I think that RIP is more thrilling but Corps War is possibly more epic.

    Well, yea. I knew what RIP meant, but its just that batman comics don't really get my intention. If it becomes that great I might get it for TPB, but when it comes to Batman Comics and the normal comics I get, I'd rather get the ones I know would keep me interested.

    RIP for me

    It did work me up alot to see the big mastermind in the final issue instead of the ones after that but I just like how awesome Morrison makes Batman look and how dark the style of writing is.

    Both were amazing. And I personally think that Tim Sale does an incredible job of capturing Batman visually.

    Oh, I loved Tim Sale's art, especially his Joker.
    Long Halloween and Dark Victory are my favorite Batman tales.

    I can't deny my love of HUSH though. After Jim Lee, Sale is my fav artist. His DC ladies are GORGEOUS. And his Batman makes me swoon. LMAO
    But seriously, Jeph Loeb is a fantastic writer and I have to say that his stories are some of my favorites as well. Im sorry that Chuck Dixon left DC, because I always thought him equally as good. Not as dark, but good nonetheless.
