An odd vision causes The Dark Knight to look back at his most bizarre adventures, which are catalogued in his mysterious "Black Casebook"! Meanwhile, a new love interest for Bruce Wayne enters the picture, and Batman gets a rematch with the Bane/Batman from last issue!
This issue is finally what I expected from Morrison. He manages to nail everything on point, and the characterization and character interactions are as almost as Batman as one can get. The only thing about this issue that bothered me was the way it ends; Morrison randomly puts Bruce on a date with some hottie in Venice, seemingly immediately after he get his butt handed to him. Im sure it will all make sense, and I really hope that this issue marks the turning point that will finally launch Morrisons run on Batman to where it should be. Read Full Review
Batman #655 was a good issue. Morrison is delivering an enjoyable Batman and has made this title the best read it has been in a while. There are definitely plenty of excitement on the horizon for Batman. I'd certainly recommend giving Batman a try. Read Full Review
This run is so exciting!!!
"Look at you, all beat up to hell. Why did you have to choose an enemy that's as old as time and bigger than all of us, Batman?"
"Same reason you did, Jim. I figured I could take him. This isn't over."
A little bit confusing at times but with creators like Morrison and Kubert, I can confidently expect satisfying payoff
Although things aren't clear yet, the three ghosts who were former cops seem to have a connection to Batman's past.Only the two have appeared so far and Bruce still doesn't know what's really going on.
