When Batman's Been Dead - Batman & Robin 13: The Essence of Dick Grayson

[jlroberson]

Possible spoiler.

People may knock Morrison, or for that matter Frazer Irving(whom I like, and hope I don't see a cascade of flames here), on BATMAN & ROBIN. But for my own part, Morrison has taught me to respect Dick Grayson, and to understand what he is. And to me, this sequence, in the final panel, is the essence of what Dick Grayson is. He never gives up and there's always a way. If Batman is "justice", Grayson is "hope."


Also, you can knock Grant all you like, but Dr. Hurt's far more interesting than, say, Hush.(and I just noticed a tiny hint of Adams in Dick in that last panel. Probably unintended but neat)
(PS if interested: This week's LULU.)

so is damian threatening to cripple hurt because he's hurting dick?

if so, my love for the little bastard just shot up 10 points ;D

He is, and the Batman whose death will make Damian pledge his soul to the Devil to save Gotham might be this one.

And that becomes even more interesting when you consider all this "black sun" stuff we're building to. Whatever is coming when Brice returns, it appears Damian might be the one who saves the day. (I am fully expecting an ending a lot like that of ZENITH, actually, which wouldn't bother me)
