Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 2

Perhaps the best segment of Morrison's legendary Batman saga. The first Volume is already a mind bending trip with Black Glove and RIP. This Volume follows after the apparent demise of Batman at the hands of the (New) God of Evil in Final Crisis. Dick Grayson as Batman and Damian Wayne as Robin is the most brilliant inversion of the Batman & Robin concept with a happy-go-lucky Batman and an edgy, self-serious Robin. It excels in its continued exploration of the time displacement of a certain individual, the history of Gotham occult and its effects on the city (continuing on from themes established in Batman: Gothic, Arkham Asylum, Dark Knight Dark City & The Cult) and the true platonic nature of the evil distorting timespace and the time-transcending nature of this abstracta. Fantastic art across the board (special shout out to Frank Quietly and Frazer Irving) and an epic reinforcement of the Batman's unbreakable spirit - which even literal living ideas and Gods fail to affect.5/5 for the narrative, art, omnibus binding and design. Bring on Vol 3!

The main focus of this omnibus was the return of Bruce Wayne and a big part was the time periods he traveled. One such period was the 1700's when a ritual was performed to bring about the DEMON, "BARBATOS". I was just reading "BATMAN THE CAPED CRUSADER VOL 3" and issues included are.. BATMAN 452, 453 and 454. It's a tale that features the RIDDLER as the villain but the surprise was the open few pages and there is the ritual of bringing forth BARBATOS. It is told through the confessions of a man named JACOB STOCKMAN. It's a really good read and I now wonder if "GRANT MORRISON" knew of this 2 issue arch some 350 issues before he wrote this selection. If anyone else knows of these same issues please tell what you all think; I hope this was helpful.

The quality of the package -images and extras makes these packages a constantly giving treat (for me).

Muy buena continuación de la etapa de Grant Morrison, en este volumen vemos una nueva etapa con Dick Grayson tomando el manto de Batman junto a Damian Wayne como el nuevo Robin. Una historia bastante interesante y entretenida. Por un lado vemos como la supuesta muerte de Bruce Wayne desorganiza el funcionamiento de la bati-familia y como todos los miembros deben adaptarse a un nuevo status quo donde nuevas amenazas surgen en Gotham. Mientras tanto vemos a Bruce Wayne en un viaje a través del tiempo gracias a los acontecimientos de Final Crisis, en donde buscará regresar a su época y retomar su lugar como Batman. Grant Morrison no decepciona, imperdible para cualquier fan del personaje.Excelente producto y con mejor calidad que el volumen anterior.

Bought the first and second volumes for my sons Christmas.. I gave him a quick peek he seems happy with them ..
