Date: 2012-10-25 03:21 am (UTC)Really, the Jason reveal is interesting now, because this is oddly something that makes less sense and yet even more sense in the New 52. It makes less sense in that Jason just helping the Bat-Fam out and fixing two reputations doesn't quite jibe with what we've been seeing in Outlaws. Yet, it makes more sense because in the New 52 the relationship between Jason and the other Robins is definitely less awkward and hateful--they don't like Jason's methods, but they can work with him when he goes under his rules.
Anyway, the Damian reveal is very interesting--definitely curious to see how this will connect to what happened in the #666 universe, and we'll finally see how it fits into this mega-story that Morrison's been plotting (especially since I thought that alternate future was wiped out at least twice in this story).

Date: 2012-10-25 05:56 am (UTC)The only trouble is that Jason already has a anti-heroic role in the DCnU as opposed to a villainous one, so the impact of this is lessened, but I've pretty much considered Morrison's run seperate from the DCnU anyway.

Jason: But But... YOU"RE the Law in Gotham.
Bruce: Yes, yes, but Jason really, you should let me handle these situations... Here's a 10, go buy yourself a milk shake and cool down.
Jason: YAY!

Date: 2012-10-25 12:23 pm (UTC)And also self-referencing. Morrison made Wingman a representation of the "Batman as Massive Arse" characterisation that had flooded stories such as "The OMAC Project", back in "The Island of Mister Mayhew". And more recently he made Jason Todd/Red Hood into a grotesque stereotype of vigilante killer heroes like the Punisher. So he's clearing two reputations AND sticking it to two character types he hates seeing in comics, all while writing his Batman-has-Weird-International-Adventure

Date: 2012-10-25 02:53 pm (UTC)And yeah, I like that Winnick brought Jase back, but the role he had him in? So standard and boring, because just like the Joker will never be able to make Batman cross that line, Jason won't either. Nothing can. I don't always respect Batman's no killing rule, because it's my perspective that there are distinct circumstances where I think a character deserves to die, but putting Jason in a role to try making Bruce feel guilty over Jason by having him be alive? Yeah... No. As much as Lobdell has his faults, I much prefer his take on Jason. Same goes for Morrison.

Date: 2012-10-25 03:49 pm (UTC)There are many parallels between them; Both are the scions of extremely powerful, extremely controlling people.
Each has broken away in their own way, but they still have strong family ties (and in Dick's case shackles and gags, but enough about my headcanon) Dick will always come back if Bruce calls, Talia never really managed to get away from Talia, so both have complicated relationships with their father figures.
Talia can see Dick as an obstacle to her having a relationship with Bruce (Neither Bruce nor Dick trust her, but Dick doesn't even LIKE her and is quite open about it). Dick see's her as bad news for Bruce.
They clashed in the Tomasi Nightwing run and it was quite fun. giving Dick a foe with access to Al Ghul level resources and a femme fatale he wasn't actually interested in.

Date: 2012-10-25 06:39 pm (UTC)I enjoy this book too, but personally I'm really losing interest in the Leviathan story, I'm hanging on because I really like the art and I like how Morrison writes Batman, but I'm spectacularly uninterested in Leviathan. Maybe it would work for me as a series of smaller stories with Leviathan as the Big Bad, but with the series seeming to focus on a single conflict it just seems drawn out and unnecessary.
Looking forward to the next issue though, we'll get a break from Leviathan and get to get Morrison return to his Batman 666 setting, it'll be fun to see what Morrison does with a semi-dystopian future where he's nmot bound by canon. I've been antsy waiting for this one ever since the 3rd(?) issue got delayed and everything was pushed back a month, that was so annoying.
