What is your favorite Batman story by Grant Morrison?

[Spider-Kurt!]

Quite a bit to choose from...

Well so far, i'd say:

1) Arkham Asylum: Serious House
2) Batman and Robin volume 1.
3) Batman RIP
4) Batman Gothic.

I skimmed thru Gothic at a bookstore the other day and it does look like a good one.What do you guys think of his work on JLA?

 

[SpideyInATree]

I much liked the Batman # 666 issue. I really thought that it said a whole lot when it comes to his run on Batman. Especially when you sit down and read all the issues in a row.

 

[The Joker]

His run on Batman and Robin, or Batman #663, the Clown at Midnight.

Batman R.I.P was epic yet he just didn't know how to end it
so was Black Glove
Gothic was creppy but another "devil" as the bad guy
Arkham Ayslum is His best work but it's a elseworld tale
batman & son was just a lead up to everything
while I didn't like a new dynamic yet I've learned to like damien
can't wait to read batman & robin...just bought it
hoping batman inc. makes dick grayson still batman just at another location

I know people didn't like how grant was changing the batman character and mythology I think he's atleast doing something fresh and new to batman that hasn't been done since Knightfall...he's created a great fun ride starting with Batman & son...I'm happy he's writing batman (and paul dini too)

^ I haven't been this consistently satisfied with the books in years. Matter of fact prior to 2006 I had a very serious love/hate relationship with the bat books after the "new Gotham" period ended. Particularly cause of stories like Orca, War Games, Hush & As The Crow Flies.

What Morrison has done though rivals what people like Grant, Moench and Dixon did as writers when I was growing up. It's not only respecting what came before but pushing the characterizations and the mythology further. Not just leaving everything in a stagnant phase.

I liked them all but I'd rank em' like this so far

Batman & Robin (particularly the first arc and the previous one)
The Island of Mr. Mayhew
The Three Ghosts of the Batman
Gothic
R.I.P.
Arkham Asylum (which BTW is canonical as all of Morrison's work on the character including in JLA interconnects)
Batman #700
Batman & Son (loved Batman fighting ninja man-bats around pop art & loved the fact that there is a bat rocket. However compared to the rest I find it the weakest of the multi-issue arcs.)
Batman #666

Once RoBW is done I will determine it's spot.

I was gonna post my thoughts, but somehow Cain said almost exactly what I was thinking. Although I would add his work with Batman on JLA and during Final Crisis (yeah, he's missing most of the series, but I thought that final confrontation between he and Darkseid was EPIC).

 

[bestever23]

you're right Cain, I love how Grant bring back the old SyFy Titles and makes them almost cannon like Robin dies at Dawn and Batman sleeping with Talia (who wouldn't she's hot) and having a hidden son and the league of batmen and that'll probley be the bases for batman inc

 

[Spider-Aziz]

His work on Batman & Robin: It's funny how he used the title of the worst Batman film (I admit enjoying the film regardless) for a real fun series
Batman 666
Batman & Son

Damian is the best character he created
