Batman Inc. #8 preview

[sherkahn]

ComicBookResources has the preview of issue #8.

What happens when you merge Batman with Tron?







I must say, having spent some time with animation software and modeling, this particular look is harder than it seems to achieve.

I hope this is a worthy end for this version of Batman.

shame I won't see Man-of-Bats and other cool bats like the ones we were introduced to.

I just read it last night. I'm sorry to say this: it looks like total shit and the story is utterly without interest.

Jesus, thank you. I thought I was nuts for thinking that this looked like shit.

No, no, it sucks. And the writing isn't that good. It's very dispirited. And it's especially a comedown after the fairly good Man of Bats story; total smack of inertia.

And frankly, I'm starting to understand BATMAN INC. as Morrison's own psychological working-out of his total embrace of the Corporation. Much as you can read many of his works as a psychological conversation with himself over the last two and a half decades--even he now encourages that reading with what he says in SUPERGODS. His characters are a bit like a child talking through his dolls.(that's not meant as a negative or positive comment; but when kids do that, what are they really doing?)

I mean, it's interesting to compare the way he writes about them now to INVISIBLES(wow, that Grant seems very far away now) or Hexus in MARVEL BOY.

Have to agree with you. That splash page was the best thing out of the entire issue.
