Soon Bruce Wayne drops out completely, having seemingly become the victim of mental illness and abandoning his Batman identity for a life on the streets of Gotham City. Capitalizing on the fall of their greatest foe, the Club of Villains begin a crime spree through the streets of Gotham that threatens to bring the city to its knees. |

Batman's Finest Tribute, Saturday, July 24, 2010
It might be confusing, it might be weird and it might take more than one read through before you get what Grant Morrison was writing. This is a tribute to what Batman is. Batman goes through Hell, loses his mind and was almost responsible for the possible deaths of his allies but in the end, he triumphs and isn't that what we read Batman for?

WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!, Tuesday, July 06, 2010
I just find out the page count for the Deluxe Hardcover and the Paperback Edition:
BATMAN: R.I.P. THE DELUXE EDITION ==> 208 Pages
Batman R.I.P. [Paperback] ==> 224 Pages
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN ME WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!!!. Why the paperback have more pages than the Deluxe Edition!!!????. It shouldn't supposed to be the other way around???. Is this a mistake!!?????. I have the Deluxe Edition but I never count the number of pages on it. I read the number of pages by accident here at Amazon, and I almost faint. I went to DC's site to check and it was the same!!!!.
Are you kidding me with this?!!. Did a bunch of morons just pay more for less and now DC release the same product at lower quality with MORE pages??!!!!.
Please someone explain me if I'm making a mistake here. I would really like to know!.

Fantastic conclusion to Morrison's first run, Thursday, April 29, 2010
Batman R.I.P. concludes Morrison's first run on Batman. The first two volumes are "Batman and Son" and "Batman: The Black Glove". I highly recommend reading those two before beginning R.I.P.
Much has been made of the complexity of this story. While this trilogy of trade paperbacks yields increased understanding on a second or third reading, anyone of sufficient attention span will do just fine with these. R.I.P. is easily appreciated on a first read, but like any other great piece of art it will reward increased attention with greater understanding. I would advise anyone who is on the fence about this book due to reading reviews that endorse it as being overly complex to just settle down and not look for too much inner meaning. If you read each page in desperate hope of unlocking some hidden metaphor, you are only going to detract from your enjoyment of the work. Just relax and read this as a straight up superhero book. I bet you'll love it, and then reread it a few months later and I guarantee you'll love it even more.
And if you do, you can then start Morrison's second run on Batman, "Batman and Robin: Batman Reborn".
Thanks, and I hope you give these a try!
