    Interesting for the Bat...

    Sounds interesting but what's next?

    A big admission ahead of bigger mission for Batman - KATV Channel 7 - The Spirit of Arkansas:

    It's actually not a bad idea, but the media is sure to think DC is ripping off Marvel, and Tony Stark's big press conference admission of being Iron Man. Of course, Bruce is actually trying to convince folks he's NOT Batman, but I bet comparisons will be made.

    Morrison is bound and determined to forever shake up the Bat-status quo. I can't say I'm totally against this. It's all in how they handle it.

      I don't know....seems to me he is bound and determined to flush the franchise down the toilet.

          Of the other ideas he's come up with, it doesn't bother me as much. Although Morrison does seem hell-bent on legitimizing the mostly forgotten 50s-early 60s Batman stories. I think he's found a niche to stake his claim in Batman's canon.

          I guess it doesn't really bother me, because I don't read the current comics anymore. My Batman is still Bruce Wayne, and Tim Drake is Robin, Dick is Nightwing, Jason's worm food, and Damian is a nice kid being raised by adoptive parents, oblivious of his heritage.

            Agreed!! I'm a HUGE Batman fan. Its like 90% of my collection and I just can't stand Morrison's run or where he wants to go on this. Makes me sad.

                I didn't mind them keeping Dick as Batman and also having Bruce as Batman, in fact I predicted that would happen from the get when they announced they were killing off Bruce....but this whole idea of multiple Batmen is just silly and an excuse to try and sell more titles.....they will run this Batman Inc book and see which of the new Batmen becomes popular enough to get their own book.....I am pretty much done with the Bat family of books

                    This is a horrible idea. One of the most inept ideas ever. This goes against everything Bruce Wayne dedicated his life to.

                        Morrison's Batman reminds me of that little turd that won't go down and keeps popping back up, flush after flush.....

                          I really shouldn't get worked up about this....This isn't MY Batman....I'm not reading any Batman titles anymore....I'm saving money....Morrison and DC are actually doing me a favor.

                            I'm not as opposed to this development as most of you, but it is funny to me that the best Batman and Superman stories being told today are on Brave and the Bold and Smallville.

                            The idea of Batman Inc. doesn't bug me as much as Bruce Wayne coming out as Batman's benefactor. In the articles, it says the admission is a way of deflecting the idea that Bruce is Batman, but to me it only makes it more obvious.

                            It also does away with the whole Batman as an urban myth idea, which I never really bought, either.

                              Morrison Blows. I'd love to Slap him, Just once, and Ask him to go to Marvel. It sucks not reading a Good Batbook with Bruce ..., or The Justice League Book with Bruce, or a good Team up with Bruce ..., Morrison has spread his Nonsense Cancer across the DCU , and it doesn't stop there ..., I hate Dick as Batman , so much it Hurts . Only to get Bruce Back after 2 yrs of BullCrap ..., Then this Direction.

                              BAH! .
                              Someone just needs to Murder Vicky Vale real Quick , and Change the Direction of this New BS. This is Worse than Ollie Getting outted by Barry in GA. BOO DC !!! ... BOO !!!


                              Art !
                              Slap Morrison for Me , .. Would Ja ? ...

                              What Else to say ???
                              ... People that Buy The Batman Titles Only allow this to continue.
                              This woulda been Nipped in the Butt real Quick, if No One Bought Batman & Robin . But for Everyone Who *****es about this Crap on a Message Board, it seems there's 100 people Buying the Book . Go Figure.

                              I dunno whats worse ..., Dick's Glam PopRock Fashion Bat Belt, that doesn't even look like he can hold up his gruns with ..., let alone carry anything in it, or Bruce's New "Batman 89" Esque suit. ...
