Batman by Grant Morrison, Episode 04 – Batman and Son | Crushing Comics Book Club

June 22, 2021 by krisis Leave a Comment

Welcome back to Crushing Comics Book Club for Batman by Grant Morrison – and, to our first episode discussing Morrison’s run that began in 2006.

Content Warning: We discuss sexual assault from 27:00 to 32:45.

In this episode, we discuss Morrison’s first arc with Andy Kubert – “Batman and Son” – in Batman (1940) #655-658. This story establishes some major themes of Morrison’s run, as well as their major creation in the Batman family – Damian Wayne!

Then, we (and the Morrison omnibus) skip over the unrelated issues #659-662 to continue with #663 – the infamous prose issue about The Joker !

After that, Batman comes face-to-face with a second deadly imitator in #654-655. And, finally, we get a glimpse into Damian’s potential future in #666.

Harry is our expert – he loves Batman and Morrison, and he has read this run multiple times. Fariha is our intermediate – she has read plenty of Morrison and DC. And, Peter is now the novice – he’s read some of this run before, but otherwise this is his FIRST TIME reading pre-New-52 Batman!

Tune in next week to continue our Morrison read with Batman (1940) #667-669 & 672-675. Note that we are skipping over the Resurrection of Ra’s al Ghul issues in #670-671, which we will return to in the following episode.
