Batman Inc #3
by Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham
SPOILERS BELOW!
Batman Inc #3 came out a bit early at my comic shop, so I'm posting this review. Now, the book was delayed a month because of one scene that DC thought related to the Colorado shootings. But it's just a lady threatening a class with a gun, and lasts only a panel long. I really don't see the connection between that and the shooting so I think the delay was useless. So without further ado, the review!
Grant Morrison pops us with a few reveals in this issue, and they actually make sense, like Talia's steriods batguard being one of Darkseid's Batman clones from Final Crisis. And then, there's Matches Malone, who makes his triumphant return to comics. He is utilized perfectly, and Dick Grayson even gets back into the Batsuit. And Morrison's unique dialogue is pretty awesome too, with the way the words seem to flow together.
But the art is one of the best parts of the book. Chris Burnham deviates further from imitating Frank Quitely into his own art style. His figures are crisp and clean, and cartoony. It's just a delight to look at. And some of his facial expressions are just SPOT on to the point that they're laugh out loud funny.
So, before I wrap this up, three words. BAT COW RETURNS!
STORY: 4/5
ART: 5/5
VERDICT: 4.5/5
