twiztor Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 IIRC Burnham eventually did more of the art when it was collected. not sure how much, or if it was only for a certain version, but i kinda remember reading something about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 At least originally, that's only in the Absolute Edition. I have no idea if later printings included the original or corrected art. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H. Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Morrison wrote Batman for almost a decade and that article says the run was "Brief". Most writers are off a book in way less time than that James Edited May 29, 2019 by J.H. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 At some point I'll be ranking every story of Grant Morrison's epic Barman run (2006-2013). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many writers get to stay on a Marvel/DC book more than 3 years anymore? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Exactly! Hell, even big name writers who shape a large chunk of a company's mythology only last 3-5 (if they're lucky). Morrison wrote large swaths of Batman and the low points of his run were when he wasn't writing an arc or 2 (The Resurrection of Ras Al Ghul comesto mind, which I think was Milligan and also not very good). I mean, Im' asking guys to do a Claremont on X-Men length run or anything James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) People my (and almost your) age grew up with long runs on books for better or worse: Claremont, Byrne, PAD, Bates, Conway, Stern, Greunwald,. ..

Brian Fowler Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Other than Bendis on Ultimate Spider-Man, I can't think of another relatively recent run at the big two longer than Morrison on Batman off the top of my head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) I fucking love Grant Morrison's Batman run (2006-2013). Best comic book run I've ever read and I've re-read it a bunch. Highlights: Spoiler Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul having a son, Damian Wayne brought into continuity. An attack on Batman’s mind leading to Batman of Zur-En-Arr, a backup personality. Dr Simon Hurt is a menacing big bad. Professor Pyg is legitimately disturbing. The use of Talia al Ghul. Damian as a future Batman, Batman 666. Darkseid trying to clone an army of Batman. All but one die unable to cope with the trauma Batman's gone through, both mental and physical. Bruce Wayne/Batman breaking a lifetime promise against firearms using a gun to shoot Darkseid. Man beats God. Batman thought dead but gets sent back in time. Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne becoming the new Batman and Robin is the best thing from the run. The chemistry between the two. Bruce Wayne starting Batman, Incorporated across the world. Batman, Incorporated vs. Leviathan. Spyral. Death of Damian Wayne killed in action. Bruce Wayne becomes a bat. Talia al Ghul dies. I'm going to rank every story of this run as well. Been meaning to do that. Better late than never. Edited January 15, 2022 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Steph and Cass were both basically erased from continuity (and later reintroduced) while I guess Grant didn't want to deal with Barbara being Batgirl again instead of Oracle, and we never got another look at her "building internet 3.0" or whatever.

twiztor Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 that Internet 3.0 part does ring a bell, and the Oracle->Batgirl non-transition totally makes sense. i thought i remembered Steph randomly being Spoiler again in a group shot (like, Morrison doesn't even mention it), but there are literally 100s of other comics i could be confusing with this.
