Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert on Batman? It's like a wet dream come true. And, an alternate cover by Adam Kubert? "Dy-no-mite!" And this one blows you right into the action on the first page. It appears that the Joker has finally won. James Gordon if falling off a building with a huge Joker smile, and it looks like he has beaten the crap out of Batman with a crowbar. To which, the Batman grabs the Jokers gun and shoots him in the face. Classic! Except, it's not really Batman. It's a cop, who in Batman's abscence, decided that someone needed to put on a Batman suit and try to take out the trash. Which, ironically, is what the real Batman does with the Joker's body when he goes down to see how James is doing. He throws it in the nearest dumpster. Now, add to all that Kirk Langstrom and Talia, with the League of Assassins next issue, and we got a party. And, all of this happens right when Alfred talks Bruce into taking a vacation from his nocturnal activities, and go to a fundraiser in London. Talia has Kirks wife and is forcing him to turn over his Man-Bat formula. And, by all appearances, has Bruce's son, and hers, looking for him in the videos of the party, and is apparantly going to take him to meet him. Man!!! Talk about a lot of twists and turns. Especially for one issue. This is going to be a fantastic ride. Next summer Six Flags is going to have to open the Morrison/Kubert coaster.
