I really did like the first two volumes of Batman and Robin. Really. I liked the characters and what Morrison was doing with them, I liked the storylines, I liked the interactions between people... It was going great. And then there's this.I'm not even going to try and describe what happened in volume three, because I'm not entirely sure I'd get it right. Let me just say that it was a big mess. Way too much supernatural stuff going on in a Batman book, which I just don't think works. Batman is too grounded for this stuff. Yes, even the Dick Grayson version. This is all aside from the fact that it was really a convoluted mess. There's Joker and time-displaced Batman and the other Batman and a Wayne ancestor and... It's too much. Pyg shows up again, and instead of being creepy and weird, he's just plain weird. And then there's the bizarrely cut-off ending that was so abrupt I wondered if my copy of the trade was missing pages.
This simply isn't Morrison's finest moment.
