Grant Morrison’s Batman finale is coming and he thinks you might hate it?
Batman, Incorporated #13 is the final showdown between Bruce Wayne and Talia. Damian was a casualty of the war between these lovers and deadly enemies. If you think killing Robin is bleak then just wait for next week’s showdown.
Morrison was asked about next week’s final chapter by Comics Newsarama at San Diego Comic Con.
“I really think a lot of people will hate it, because it’s super bleak. It kind of – to a certain extent it destroys the concept of Batman.
So I think a lot of people will not like it. But then a few years will pass, maybe a bit less, several months, and then people will start to say, “oh, this all makes sense.”
But I genuinely think it will cause a slight upset. Maybe if I say that it won’t!”
Morrison’s Batman run started with Batman and Son in which he introduced Damian. Morrison contends the child of Bruce and Talia was always created to be killed in the end.
The story of what Damian’s future could have been will in told Damian: Son of Batman coming in October. The comic book will be set in the future world Morrison created in Batman #666.
Batman, Incorporated #13 hits next week.
