Not only was #16 great but the ending is the start of what I think is going to be some very interesting times for the Bat-Universe. I am completely jazzed to see what comes next. Well done Mr. Morrison. Well done.

There's a change coming to Batman and Robin, one that might upset some fans looking forward to Pete Tomasi and Patrick Gleason's run on the series. But as with any change, there is always a silver lining. What do we mean? Keep reading...
Batman and Robin #17, due to hit stores on November 24, will not feature Tomasi and Gleason's "Dark Knight, White Knight" story. Instead, Paul Cornell will be teaming with Scott McDaniel (Nightwing, Green Arrow) for a three-part arc that will mark Cornell's first step into the vastness that is Gotham City.
I'm still interested in Tomasi's upcoming run, but Paul Cornell is a favourite of mine, so I'm fine with the wait!
I've been looking forward to Tomasi's run for what seems like forever. He will be on after the 3 issue Cornell arc right?I do like Scott McDaniel's art, so it's not all bad.

Paul Cornell and Scott McDaniel teaming up to do Batman and Robin? Oh yeah. I'm in for that.

That sounds cool but I really don't likeMcDaniel'snew look now. It looks way to rushed and unfocused imo.

McDaniel got a new look?
Also what did you guys think of that last page of B&R 16?

I don't read the Bat books, but I find the whole idea of Bruce coming out and saying he has not only been funding Batman but creating a Batman Inc. extremly intresting. I am thinking that this opens up Bruce and those close to him to more attacks then what they are already used to. With it being common knoweldge now that Bruce and Batman have a close relationship, what is going to stop a villian from trying to get to Batman via Bruce now.
Of course any villian that tries is in for a serious fight. Did Batman just create the best mousetrap?

I personally think it's a cool idea and can't wait to see where it goes, but I'm not too sure how long it'll last. Hopefully it will.
Also I heard a lot of complaints on how it only makes more people think Bruce is Batman. This is the DCU, Superman hides behind glasses..I don't think this should be too big of a deal. Besides in a way Bruce is using misdirection, throwing off suspicions with the funding reveal.

I have been hearing the same complaints about everyone saying that more people will think bruce is batman. that's just silly, he just came out and said there is going to be more then one batman. he cant be all of them. Not only that, but hiding in plain site is the best way to hide. How many times have we in the real world looked for something only to find it when we were not looking for it and it was in front of us all along.
If anything this should misdirect any bruce is bats talk.

I didn't know he said he was funding Batman. I don't really care for that. I do think that it casts suspicion on him. Sure, he can't be all of them, but he could be one.
As for Clark and his glasses, he also wears suits a size or two too big, slouches, and speaks an octave higher.

I understand you, but remember: Bruce goes to late night parties, has tendencies to hang out with scantily clad women, drinks a good deal, and among other things and situations, seemingly ran out of Gotham when No Man's Land hit. Granted his revelation might make the world reconsider him, but Bruce has still has done a good deal to hide his secret identity.

^Thanks.
The more I think about it the more it does intrigue me. I'm still not huge on the Batman Inc. idea, or the fact that Dick is continuing on as Batman in addition to Bruce returning, but some of it does intrigue me. I've sworn off Morrison books, but I may have to at least check out the first issue of Batman Incorporated.

Actually, Bruce made it sound like Batman came to him to ask to Bruce if he would fund his war on crime. That's how I took it anyway. I think Bruce made it sound like he and Batman were two different people. I actually like this concept. It's an interesting idea and I am curious to see how it all plays out and it makes me very curious about Batman Inc.Batman25JM wrote:I didn't know he said he was funding Batman.

Oh this so intrigues me. Bruce Wayne is going to globalize the Batman concept. How interesting and unique. It's a story that you wonder why they never thought of this before which really has me jazzed. I am going to check out Batman Inc. just to see what it's all about. I can say that the Batman Universe is going to get very interesting and I for one cannot wait.Batman25JM wrote:^Thanks.

Meh. Honestly, this really didn't do much for me. It wasn't bad, but there was nothing about it that I really loved (in regard to story). The art was awesome. I love Scott McDaniel. His Damian was great.
I still can't wait for Tomasi's run to start.

I take back that there was nothing I loved. I did love that Damian mentioned Dick being more jovial and that he was now allowed to be his own Batman because Bruce is back.

Read the new issue and I really enjoyed it. I'm a fan of McDaniel's style so I enjoyed this a lot. I thought the story was just interesting and I completely enjoy the dynamic between Dick and Damian. I loved the last page of this and I need some explanation as to how she can even be. Other than that, still one of my favorites.

I found that his work in Batman 702 was too sloppy. Is it as bad on here?

Not sure. I don't read Batman but I've always been a fan of his art so I am a bit biased when it comes to being critical but I liked it.

Batman and Robin #18 was a lot of fun. I enjoy Paul Cornell's writing and this villain is pretty interesting. I also liked the ending a whole lot. Can't wait to see how this all ends.

No, you don't get to "Mansplain" everything to me!
Loved that line. The book is a far cry from the Morrison-penned B&R issues of lore, but it's a moderately decent read until Tomasi and Gleason get their rip at it. If the title didn't cover the name of the villain, I'm not too sure too many would remember it. lol

Honestly, I didn't care for this in regard to story. It just felt off.
I'm not huge on them creating new villains for short arcs like this. They waste time giving an origin (which was a dumb one IMO) and this character will most likely never be seen again after this arc. If they are going to create a new villain I prefer it to be done in a longer arc that matters more, or if the writer is going to have an extended run on a title where the villain can be a major player. Here it's just wasting time.
It would be different if I found the villain at all interesting, but she seems like a petty, jilted lover. It's cliche and uninteresting.
The art was phenomenal though. I love me some McDaniel. His Damian Robin is AWESOME.

I don't mind Cornell creating a villain. I've listened to enough interviews with him where he enjoys making characters and he realizes that whoever takes over for him is more than likely to take that character and run with him or her. I think this villain is interesting enough and I do hope that Tomasi uses her later down the line. I will agree with you that the art is awesome.

I'm really enjoying this arc. I wish that Cornell had a longer run on the book. I'll probably drop it once he leaves.
