He does what he has done on All Star Superman, JLA, and his uncredited single issue of the Authority featuring Seth - updates the Silver Age for today's world. This was a good move imo, you don't see the 50s/early 60s Batman referenced much these days. Morrison gives us his take on wacky, weird SA ideas such as the Batmen of Many Nations, the classic Robin Dies At Dawn and the bizarre Batman of Zur-En-Arh. I thought his cleverest stuff was the in the first issue of his run. There's a scene in a pop art exhibition and Grant has the paintings comment on the real world action. Postmodern or what?Overall good stuff, worth getting if you're a fan of his work. Buy one TPB and see if you like it. Imo the quality remains pretty constant throughout the run. One severe drawback to the last arc is that it's one of those comic crossovers so the story is very disjointed if you only read Batman. I don't know if the TPB prints the whole story or not.</blockquote>
