BATMAN INCORPORATED #7
by Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham
Ha ha ha! Nightwing got his ass kicked by a bunch of 2nd graders!
Batman Inc #7 is nowhere as tragic as issue 6, or as spectacular as #5, but it's still another great chapter in Grant Morrison's Batman saga. I'm absolutely astonished that Grant Morrison set up all these different plot lines 5-6 years ago, and this is where it all starts to come together. Morrison places a bunch of little details in this issue, such as Damian still being vegetarian, and Ellie (the hooker that helped Batman during the 3 Ghosts of Batman storyline) now an intern at Wayne Industries. It's little things like these that makes this series so charming. I would have liked to see a little more of the fallout of the Knight's death, but it doesn't harm the book much.
Chris Burnham's art is starting to degrade a bit. His art seems sketchier than usual, and there's... fill-in art. Thankfully, it still doesn't make his art any less unique. Oh, and Bat-Cow, Titus, and Alfred the Cat are sleeping and cuddled together. The cutest thing I've ever seen.
Batman Inc #7 isn't the best issue of Batman Inc, but it's far from the worst (Vol. 1 #8 I'm looking at you).
