There's a “last chapter” bit which forwards into the future as Damian as the new Batman in an overcoat but with a more lethal edge (he doesn't mind guns) somewhat allied with Commissioner Barbara Gordon as they take out the evil Batman (who is dressed at Batman and if you follow the Bat Family you shouldn't be surprised it's probably Jason Todd). I read those separately from graphic novels thank you very much. I skipped this one as I wasn't in the mood for a short story.

In the middle there is an abrupt stop and we get a short story dealing with Batman and the Joker and a smidgen of artwork. Definitely notice the name and she'll be a recurring character for a time. Oh, he also gets to start a relationship with model turned princess-dictator of a foreign country superstar Jezebel Jet. Were they trying for some symbolism here? Heh. Meanwhile, Batman before and after said event above is advised by Alfred to maintain his playboy image as Bruce Wayne so off he goes to Europe to do his part and wouldn't you know it but man-bat ninjas are assaulting the party. His son, Damian, is a little squirt who has been taught by “evil” yet capable assassins and the like so he goes trying to help his father and while there why not eliminate a Bat sibling or two? He divides his time between his homes in Los Angeles and Scotland.īatman has a son and it's something of a surprise as to how and when it happened unless you've been collecting Batman comics for decades (see spoilers below and yeah it's no suprise Grant Morrison mined this one).

He is also the author of the New York Times bestseller Supergods, a groundbreaking psycho-historic mapping of the superhero as a cultural organism. In his secret identity, Morrison is a 'counterculture' spokesperson, a musician, an award-winning playwright and a chaos magician.

In addition to expanding the DC Universe through titles ranging from the Eisner Award-winning SEVEN SOLDIERS and ALL-STAR SUPERMAN to the reality-shattering epic of FINAL CRISIS, he has also reinvented the worlds of the Dark Knight Detective in BATMAN AND ROBIN and BATMAN, INCORPORATED and the Man of Steel in The New 52 ACTION COMICS. Since then he has written such best-selling series as JLA, BATMAN and New X-Men, as well as such creator-owned works as THE INVISIBLES, SEAGUY, THE FILTH, WE3 and JOE THE BARBARIAN. Grant Morrison has been working with DC Comics for twenty five years, after beginning his American comics career with acclaimed runs on ANIMAL MAN and DOOM PATROL.
