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

Grant Morrison has taken on DC Comics greatest icons. Who’s left?

 

“The Flash is the only one left that I would still do. If I’m gonna do the Flash, I want to do it as a science-fiction story like The Incredible Shrinking Man or Stephen King’s Thinner, or The Fly, where you basically take a scientist and then subject him to a very simple equation,” Morrison told Comic Book Resources at SDCC.

BATMAN INCORPORATED #12 Review

Talia Al Ghul may now be the most cruel villain in comic book history. Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham deliver the most bloody and twisted chapter yet in the war between Bruce Wayne and the devil’s daughter in Batman, Incorporated #12.

 

Bruce is relentless in his quest to stop Leviathan and get revenge for the death of his son. The words are few, the action is swift, the visuals are powerful and visceral. Grant Morrison chooses his words like weapons. There’s no “pow” or “bam” in this Batman. Burnham makes you feel every bone-crunching, skin-mauling act of violence. Batman and the Heretic’s epic battle feels like an operatic war of Angels of Heaven and Hell. This issue delivers the battle you’ve been craving since Damian Wayne was killed. You feel Bruce’s anger and wrath unleashed on Robin’s killer. As Bruce’s allies join the climatic battle, Talia’s most horrific family secret is revealed.

Here’s a preview of Batman, Incorporated #13 – the final chapter by Grant Morrison.
