Batman #670 - DC



Uh-oh! We got another Batman classic in the making. You better jump on it while you can. And this one . . . this is actually just a prelude. The premise is . . Ra's al Ghul is trying to come back . . . again. And they've given this historic storyline to Grant Morrison to script. You just know that it's going to be wild. Grant's one that's known for working a story from different angles anyways. But with this one, the possibilities for him . . . I'm willing to bet . . . are staggering. He has such a rich story to work from here. Also some things that haven't truly been defined through the years. So I'm guessing, without a doubt, that he's going to come up with something that's utterly amazing. Also, to drive that point home, Tony S Daniel is the penciller. There already is a vast comic library of his work. But now? Now he's going to add an historic Batman story-line to his resume. Simply fantastic. We don't know all the specifics of the story yet, but, Ra's appears to be back in a mummy like form. Talia is also here, of course. She's been raising Damian, she thought, to assume Ra's mantle. But it looks like his purposes are going to be a little more literal. I believe that Ra's wants to transfer his consciousness in to the child. I think he wants him to be his literal successor. But Damian has grown pretty strong in spirit, and isn't to keen on giving up his body to this . . . . mummy. Also Batman gets his first hints as to Ra's plans. He doesn't know what's all entailed . . as far as Talia and Damian go . . but he does find out that he's looking for a comeback. This story-line will be crossing over in to all the Batman titles this month. From here we go straight to Robin, where Damian will confront Tim. Through this issue, Damian has been wearing the Robin outfit the whole time. I'm serious. If you don't pick up any of the Batman titles . . . this is the story-line to get. And you better get it while you can.
