"Batman R.I.P.: The Deluxe Edition" may have its flaws, but it has its charms as well, and the manic, cagey story Morrison tells is certainly worth your attention. Read Full Review

i find this story is absolutely addicting!!!
never once have i read this book without having finished it, then having to start it all over from the beginning at least one or two more times.
usually i read this story cover to cover in a series of three.
don't know? ....maybe i have Batman RIP OCD?

the story follows the club of villains as they plot to sabotage Batman and pervert all that he holds sacred.

Grant has brilliantly written the villain Simon Hurt into Batman's 75 year history, as well as pull references from almost every era and event of Batman's comic publication.
this is Batman written at his finest!
others have often tried to imitated this, but have never even come close to replicating it.

in Grant's own words- "i wanted to create the ultimate Batman."
me personally, i say he truly did!

Tony Daniel does his best to keep up with Grant.
his art was still a bit rough back then, but he does a serviceable job of it.
