Comic Stuff: Things make you go HMMMMMM!
Okay, so I've been hanging out of fan boards again. No I haven't been posting. At least I've been able to restrain myself that much.
Anyhow I found a link to an interview with Morrison. And in it he was asked what happens to Dick after Bruce comes back. His reply was:
"This is the big launch after "The Return of Bruce Wayne," so I don't want to say too much, but it's a completely new take on the Batman status quo. It's like that scene where Damian asks, what happens when Bruce Wayne comes back? We don't get to be Batman and Robin? Because I felt, and I think readers felt that they were really cool as Batman and Robin, and you don't want to lose them straightaway. So you'll see what happens."
I'm sitting here, thinking how they could change the status quote. It seems kind of obvious that it would be to go to a BatMEN scenario, with Dick remaining in the cowl along with Bruce but.... This is Morrison and I don't trust anything to be that simple. Or logical. So I'm just going to sit here and wait because......GAH! That man keeps doing terrible things to my birdies!
Then we have Batman 698. No, I'm not going to give you spoilers of anything. This time my comments are on to bits of art detail. The first was in one panel that is basically a horisonal flip of the cover for Return of the Dark Knight by Frank Miller. This worries me. A LOT. Given what happens to Dick in the squeal The Dark Knight Strikes Again. My worry is then compounded on the next page were, among the graffiti we find Zur En Arrh. And seeing that that feature so prominently in R.I.P. which was ALL about deconstructing Batman.... Yeah, I'm starting to panic a bit.
We've already done Crutches/Renegade. Let poor Dick do
