Batman Inc. #4:
What appeared to be a pretty normal comic for Morrison to be writing has just been given his usual nonsensical yet somehow working amazingly well approach. As well as the Batman vs. El Gaucho fight we get a whole back story that is seemingly unrelated, and centric to the previous Batwoman. An apparent love interest in Bruce and Batman's duel lives. As well as El Gaucho's. The current Batwoman is on the case though. It's all Burnham's art straight the way through, but he completely flips his style to look as retro as possible and captures the 60's Batman aesthetic perfectly. The classic imagery combined with the modern story makes for a few laughs.
Great colouring and I just hope Morrison is going somewhere with this U-turn in what was a perfectly normal comic so far. We get hints of an upcoming global threat which is the way I thought the Batman inc. title would be best used anyway. Good stuff.
Justice League: Generation Lost #22:
Beetle's alive! Yay and it's apparently all because of his armour that put him in comatose state while it repaired his bullet wound. Seems this newer beetle's power hasn't been explored as much as the previous have yet. There's plenty of laugh out loud Red Rocket moments as per usual.
I guess in the Power Girl tie in issues she finally got Batman to remember as they both turn up and end up chasing down Wonder Woman to Gotham city where she is investigating the deaths of fellow Amazons. However it's all a trap as Max Lord plans to kill her and his grand plan is fully revealed. His scientist guy plugs him into a machine that allows his mind to take over people from all over the planet and transform them into O.M.A.C.'s. Not a great deal happens this issue, but there is a great deal wrapped up and tied together from previous issues and also a massive end game set up. If this version of the Justice League International doesn't get a permanent series after this finishes then I will cry. Double-y so if it's Winnick writing. It's just so good and fun.
