Batman faces down a whole army of Ninja Man-Bats in a no-holds-barred, bone-crunching superbrawl among the treasures of London's Pop Art museum. And when The Dark Knight's done, an even greater shock awaits, as we meet a startling new addition to the Batman family!
Batman #656 is a great read. I am having a blast reading Morrison's Batman. This title has quickly become one of my favorite titles. I think that Morrison is just what Batman needed to rejuvenate his character and keep him fresh and interesting for this new DCU. I definitely recommend giving this title a try. Read Full Review
The main trouble with this issue is that the whole thing feels like it goes on about twice as long as it needs to. When Batman is finally captured at the issues close its a relief, and I cant be the only one who hopes that he gets unmasked pretty quickly next issue so that we can see more of Morrisons Bruce Wayne. The recycling of last issues cliffhanger for the issues final page is also pretty unforgivable, and its a shame that, instead of using a fight sequence to build tension and excitement for his story, Morrisons indulgent battle this issue has actually sapped much of the momentum of his story so far. Next issue promises to offer more interesting developments, but I just hope that theres more to it than this one. Fans of Kuberts admittedly sharp art or long fight scenes in general will get a lot out of Batman #656, but for everyone else this may feel too much like treading water a worry when were only two issues into Morrisons much-trumpeted run.

"Not good enough" is an apt description of the issue, and for the storyline as a whole so far; despite the superstar creative team, my expectations regarding this title were not high, but I at least expected good solid superheroics, and the complete lack of such is frankly baffling.

The dynamic between Bruce and Alfred has never been better. I love how Morrison is building off a past story like Son of the Demon

"If there's one thing I hate, it's art with no content."
Really clever fight scenes using the backdrop of art in the museum to tell the story in each panel
Morrison can take an old forgotten story and make it notable again.It's time for Batman to face consequences of his past actions.
