Strongly requesting a bump or two while I move locations.

Thanks for posting! Got a bus ride I plan on reading this on

Quietley's art is absolutely breathtaking in these first couple issues.

One of the few times my jaw literally dropped when I laid eyes on the new Batmobile. A flying Batmobile is beyond pimp.

Damien is a spoiled little shit. Glad to know that Dick smooths him out better than Bruce every could.

.....not sure if Toad quite deserved that.

I always wondered who said "Crime is Doomed". I always expected Dick.
>>
>>87612190
For some reason I really like all the dialog here
>>
>>87611211
my favorite issues of Grant's run. they're so damn good. i was sad when no artist followed Quitely's inclusion of sound effects in the art. i guess they weren't talented enough, excluding Irving.
>>
>>87612219
Most of the time I find Morrison's dialog to be the weakest part of his stories. Here I find that he perfectly captures all three characters in a few short and simple sentences.
>>87612230

Gonna need some ice for that burn. Straight up ruthless.

For those of you that want to know, my computer is fixed back up again which means I need to refocus my attention towards getting these comics uploaded somewhere. Before I do anything, I need these questions answered.
>Zip file or Rar File?
>Mediafire or Mega?
>100mb or 700mb volumes?
>>
Oh fuck
>>
This scene is pure nightmare fuel. Pyg's dolls are by far one of the creepiest things to have come out of this run. Having a slab of flesh that looks like it was scalped from the elephant man melted onto your face is straight up horrifying. I think most posters would agree that Morrison is the only writer that can write Pyg as genuinely unsettling and off kilter without devolving into pure looney tunes.
>>
Batman and Robin is still one of the best Morrison runs on the character.
>>
>>
>>87612264
Grant's weird that way. in works like The Invisibles, i found the dialogue to be very strong, but in other works it's weak. here, it's strong again.
>>
>>87612264
People often say that about Morrison, but sometimes he'll get a line so perfect that I can't agree. Plus he'll also have fun moments like the one above
>>
I find that these three issue arcs are just the right length for these stories. Obviously more than one entire issue wouldn't get the job done and 6 individual issues would be extremely decompressed. 3 is a nice little sweet spot that quite frankly Morrison nails.
>>87612320
Damn straight.

Alfred is always full of wisdom. In one of the other Batman comics, Dick complained how the cape is weighing him down and interfering with his fighting style, which is normally highly acrobatic employing tones of jumps/flips to keep enemies off balance. Although Bruce is athletic, he definitely is more of a brawler than an acrobat and tends to keep his center of gravity mostly constant. I'm more surprised Dick didn't attempt to emulate Batman's fighting style (it's not like he hasn't seen it up front of numerous occasions).
All that said, this is a pretty Batman move right here.
>>
>>87612360
I argue Final Crisis has weak dialog, as does parts of his New X-Men and Nameless (might need a re-read). Stronger dialog includes Flex Mentallo, his JLA (although some may disagree), We3, All Star Superman, and obviously Batman
>>
>>87612841
Nameless is just weaker overall desu
>>
>>87612878
Which is surprising because I actually enjoyed Annhilator
>>
>>87612906
I would have remained speechless if I was in Damien's shoes.
>>
>>87612937
Annihilator also has the benefit of being a stealth Multiversity tie-in
>>
>>87613010
Huh, I didn't know that. Time to go back and re-experience some of Irving's best art.
>>
>>87612937
>that CRASH
holy shit never noticed that before
>>
>>87611111
Is this from a TPB or something? If so, which one?
>>
>>87613035
Right there with ya. Really glad someone here noticed it. Much of Morrison's work benefits from subsequent re-reads.
>>
>>87613100
It's from a compendium that was created by other individuals. They removed the covers but kept the issues so it's like one gigantic story.
>>
>>87613173
Shame, I'd love everything in a single book, even if it'd have to be as big as a house
>>
>>87612870
Pyg is basically a walking version of Morrison's favorite tic, which is putting the explanation of his themes in the mouth of the villain. The Despair Pit is a reference to Harlow, yes, but that he says it goes on forever means he's actually talking about the Forever Pit - the black hole darkseid fell into during Final Crisis. The mother figure he describes on the following page is the hyper-adapter, and of course when Talia seems to get infected by it later on in the series, she suddenly becomes associated with the gorgon. The mommy made of nails figure even seems to be an attempt to replicate Hurt/Talia - the hyper-adapter as this chaotic bit of ginger fluff hiding behind a human face.
>>
>>87613215
it's weird that DC hasn't collected the whole run in a couple omnis or bigass trades yet, just two Absolutes
>>
>>87613215
At least these guys limited it to 3 volumes. Some point later I might re-try and post all of the graphic novels which do include covers.

I mean it ain't bad, but it ain't Quitely
>>
>>87613552
Feel the same. I was stoked to see Quietely's version of the Red Hood costume but he only managed to draw it once. As you said the art isn't bad, but nowhere in the same league as the prior three issues.
>>
>>87613583
who's this joker
>>
>>87613602
Oberon Sexton. Gentlemen extraordinaire.
>>
>>87613596
>>87613610
you know, for a murderous lunatic, he's still a bit a of a goofball
>>
>>87613691
Personally a little to jokey for me. I prefer Jason written as a hardened vigilante that guns down his pray, not someone who's looking to create his own "brand".
>>
>>87613741
Jason was a smart-ass before he died, I don't see why that necessarily has to change
>>
>>87612368
I've always loved how this was colored, the red's & yellow just pop. And dick going with a classic O'Neil suit fits him perfectly.
>>
>>87613769
Jason being a smart ass is fine, but something about this version just didn't sit right with me. I'll willing to give it another chance though and see if my opinions changes.
>>
>>87613716
Damn, the build up of Flamingo was so good. If he had a good artist or decent lines, he'd be amazing.
>>
>>87613816
Didn't the O'Neil suit have a oval logo or were you just referring to the color scheme on Dick's suit? Because if so I completely agree, blue on grey/black looks great as does Robin's suit. They compliment each other very well.
>>
>>87613930
I was mostly fine with his dialog, but seeing him drawn by Quietley spoiled me.
>>
>>87613994
I have no idea why I spoilered that image.
>>
>>87612178
>Cross-section batcave
Muh dick
>>
>>87614087
I'm getting a slight Wes Anderson vibe from this page. On a related note, I like that Dick didn't just take over Bruce's cave. He wanted to make Batman his own.
>>
>>87612360
>>87612841
I find that he's at his best when he is less metaphorical. Grant can write really good character moment, but sometimes I feel like he gets too caught up in metaphors and meta stories, and he will butcher his dialogue in service to those things.
Which is weird. Grant's known for being this out-there, trippy guy, but his best work is when he's grounded.
>>
>>87614182
Completely agree with you. His trippier stuff isn't awful, but it reads completely differently from his other works. Not many writers have the range he does.
>>
>>87612906
Is this JoJo's right now?
>>
>>87613979
Yeah that's what I meant. Hell in the lackluster adaptation Bad Blood it was the exact same suit. But none of the fun dynamic of this run because monkey's paw.
>>
Still don't enjoy Morrison's take on Jason. Much prefer Winnick and I don't care of that's a pleb opinion.
>>
Dick is about to do something stupid.
>>
>>87613621
I like how the artist somehow made Damian's colors look stealthy even though there's no possible way he doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. How do you make Bright yellow, red and green look tactical? Yet somehow this artist pulled it off.
>>
>>87612277
Rar for storage
Mega for safe keeping
700MB for quality.
Also thanks for the storytime anon
>>
>>87614802
I loved this cheeky faux tie-in
>>
>>87614813
Also I might password protect it.
>>
Code would be "91939". The same code that Batman uses for everything in the DCAU.
>>
RISE!!!!
>>
I gotta give credit where credit is due. Cameron Stewart was a great fit for Morrison's stories. The fact that he managed to draw a scene where two Batmen are duking it out and it's always clear which one is Bruce and Dick is an incredible feat.
>>
>>87614416
>white streak gone
>>
>>87615281
The streak was a result of being dunked in the Lazarus Pit right? Also what is the true story behind Jason's resurrection?
First I thought he came back because Superboy Prime punched through reality which resurrected him in his coffin wherein he clawed his way to victory.
In Red Hood: Lost Days they didn't specficy exactly how Jason was resurrected, he somehow just ended up with Talia Al Gul wherein he was later dunked in a lazarus pit to restore his memory.
Then i think in New52 it started and ended with the Lazarus Pit with no reality punch.
>>
>>87614903
The Metaleks would later show up in Morrison's Action Comics
>>
>>87615402
Yes, jason coming back always involved the Lazarus pit.
Which makes the whole reality punching thing completely superfluous.
>>
>>87615062
that is a pretty egregious speech bubble error
>>
>>87615452
I believe the first instance where Jason was resurrected with JUST a lazarus pit was Batman: Under The Red Hood (surprisingly written by Winnick), and it worked out really well there so I assume others just ran with it.
>>87615490
Now that you've said that I've been scanning this page over and over and I still can't find it.

After I hit the image limit for this thread, there's a good chance I might swing by campus for a hot second, start a thread there, drive back home and then autopost till that one finishes. I used to feel bad for doing that but I feel like my conscience can make an exception.
>>
>>87615961
man
that double punch shows up a lot in the part of the run
>>
>>87616020
ONE MORE ARC TIL BEST ARC
>>
>>87615258
I think Stewart would look so much better with flat colors rather than just being colored like any other DC comic. They weren't flat, but the brighter more cartooney colors from Thunderworld made his lines shine
>>
>>87613035
I had look like three times but holy fuck that's brilliant

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

just odd
>>
>>87616216
Why would you get Tony Daniel to draw a 60s/Sprang era Batman?
>>
>>87616417
Probably one of those ideas that sounds good on paper but probably not in execution. Personally if I could get any artist to do a 60's era Batman I would choose Mike Allred hands down.
>>
>>87616452
This whole run is just so let down by it's art. If it was just Kubert, JHW, Quitely, Stewart and Burnham, it would be so much better.
>>
>>87616452
I'll never get over that Batman and Robin took a pizza break

>Killer Kite Collection
Kite Man?Hell yeah?
>>
>>87616406
Are those the mutants?
>>
>>87616539
Even Batman recognizes the importance of eating a meal while on the job. Stopping crime for hours consecutively is bound to burn up a lot of calories and without food on hand their effectiveness in the field would likely diminish. Also Bruce would have never taken out Robin for a pizza break so this little moment really drives home the new dynamic between these characters.

And I'm actually going to end this thread here because i have less than 20 images left and I don't want to have a comic continue between threads. Gonna swing by campus for a hot minute and set up thread number 5 for yall. I hope you have enjoying the ride so far. And for those of you looking for a link, it WILL be posted in the thread tomorrow.

Seriously why the fuck did Morrison think Jason Todd Marketing Executive was appealing?

Wait he killed two cops in his introduction how is he claiming only to take iut bad guys?

Jason Todd is a lunatic

Yea Tony Daniel did an arc about that involving a teleporter, a batarang, and Two-face

This fucking awful Killing Joke homage.

probably because it's not a Killing Joke homage
