Batman #655

Batman #655
Yay! "Son of the Demon" is back in continuity! I think...but didn't they give the child up for adoption at the end? That is Talia though, right? Still...I love it! Batman has a son. And he feels affection towards Robin. And he requires Alfred's help to relearn how to be Bruce Wayne. And a cop pushed over the edge shoots the Joker point-blank in the face! While dressed up as Batman! And apparently, Batman has almost completely rid Gotham of all costumed wackos, except for possibly Two-Face.
My only question: Why does Batman need to build a new Batmobile himself? What happened to Hiro?
An EXCELLENT, fantastic start to Grant Morrison's run on the title...a very auspicious beginning. THIS is what "All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder" should have been. Any chance we can kick Frank Miller off of that title and give it to Morrison as well?
And there are two covers. One by Andy Kubert, and one by Adam Kubert. Usually there is absolutely no point to buying two issues of the same comic, but these covers are both uniquely beautiful. Perhaps in the future we'll get triple variants with Adam, Andy, and Joe? One can only hope. And the interior art is astonishingly competent and beautiful.
This issue was reminiscent of some of the other work that Morrison has done. Batman himself doesn't actually do anything in this issue. Once again, Morrison is writing the inaction heroes, but I like it, like it, yes I do. More, please.
