Grant Morrison’s epic Batman run ends with Batman, Incorporated #13 out this week. It will mark a final showdown between Bruce Wayne and Talia Al Ghul after the murder of their son, Damian. The writer has said some fans will hate the ending but what about the partner in crime?

 

Series artist Chris Burnham recalls his favorite visual moments of the series:

 

“One good one that’s leaping to mind is the page in #6 where the Heretic is in the stairway with a giant boulder tied to the nooses around all those hobos’ necks. Figuring out the camera angles to effectively communicate the complicated setup and payoff was really tricky, but I think I pulled it off,” Continue reading Chris Burnham on BATMAN, INC Finale and Special

You may never see Batman the way he could be portrayed in this week’s Batman Incorporated #9. Damian Wayne is dead. Time for Bruce’s revenge. Will Bruce commit murder?

Robin became a casualty in the war between Bruce and Talia Al Ghul. It was part of Grant Morrison’s endgame that began with Damian’s introduction in Batman and Son. Morrison talked with Comic Book Resources about his final Batman Incorporated issues:

“Well, the next three issues are basically “Vengeance of Batman.” He’s been pushed too far. He underestimated Talia, and then Talia horribly underestimated him. That’s really what it’s all about. And part of this is that we didn’t want to do Jason Todd again. We didn’t want to leave Batman an emotional cripple. The Batman we’ve presented in this run has been through some pretty bizarre experiences including weird Continue reading Batman’s Revenge Begins!
