the thing is, he can write excellent stories, and excellent batman stories at that (re: arkham asylum)
however, he seems determined to persue this "history changing epic" nonsense instead of judt writing well. i hope he isn't really messing with the mythos. the story of his origin, and who his parents are, is all important. you don't mess with this stuff.
it's cheap and tiresome. it is much easier to change the history of batman than it is to write a good story, apparently. anyone could write a story that makes thomas wayne a fiend and his wife a junkie. it's easy to write a story that is simply a lame "gotcha". alfred is his actual father? that's akin to bruce just waking up in a mental hospital to find it was all a dream.
hopefully, morrison has more sense than this. i always thought he did.
however, should he do what i think he's going to do, i'll never purchase anything he ever writes. i'll never read a new batman story. i'm not even wasting my money on RIP. i read it there and then in the shop, and it gives me a moan and a whinge to get me through the day.
come on morrison; make posts like this redundant. don't mess with the waynes. it's unwise, and uncreative, and quite frankly beneath you.
