Meet Damian Wayne, the Batman of Tomorrow, in this special issue set 15 years from now in a nightmarish future Gotham! Only 24 hours are left before the climactic battle of Armageddon, and only one man might be capable of stopping it. Can Damian make peace with his heritage and save the world?
Batman #666 was an excellent one-shot issue. This issue has it all good dialogue, an interesting story, nasty action and good looking artwork. Normally, I feel like I get cheated with most one-shot issues. That is definitely not the case with Batman #666. Morrison and Kubert have done a nice job making Batman one of DC's better reads.

This is two issues in a row of Morrisons arc that I have enjoyed. Last issue was a great and traditional (if anything Morrison writes can be considered as such) Batman story that I loved. In this issue Morrison provides a glimpse into a future that is as frightening as it is insane. While this issue isnt exactly for the kids, it is what Grant Morrison is all about. Read Full Review
*Oddly, the shaved-headed Batman in the trench coat looks a bit like Grant Morrison and he has a cat named Alfred. In other words, it looks like Morrison (who is known to love cats) made himself Batman in this story. Of course, in Animal Man, Morrison appeared as himself as the teller of tales of Animal Mans life; in Seven Soldiers, the tailors who tell the tales of the universe looked like Morrison; and now he seems to be the Batman of the not-too-distant future.

Ultimately, despite the appearance of being a simple stand-alone What If? story in celebration of the satanic anniversary of Batman's publication, this is a more complex issue than it appears, and one which may well reveal deeper secrets as Morrisons run on the book progresses. Whilst its not a perfect comic, failing to feel quite as accomplished a superhero story on a surface level as it is on a more complex level of meaning (the devil is in the detail, so to speak), it nonetheless makes for an enjoyable and very thought-provoking read once you start to examine its hidden layers more closely. Thankfully, it also hints at developments which could tie this current run of Batman together more cohesively - even if readers are still going to have to put quite a lot of faith in Morrisons proven track record as a writer, and trust for a while longer that the whole will turn out to be greater than the sum of its parts.

Sure, Batman is a symbol that strikes fear into the hearts of criminals of Gotham. It could be conceivable then that if Wayne ever kicked the bat-bucket there would still be a Batman. To quote Lee Corso, Not so fast my friend. I cant say this book was a bad read, because its got only one real downside. Read Full Review
"The Apocalypse is cancelled. Until I say so."
"Funny. What happened to my dad paved the way for a Batman like me. Too bad for you."
"Blood?"
"I'm surprised the son of Satan doesn't remember what they did to the son of God."
This is Morrison's best work in Batman series.It's a standalone story but many questions were answered.The first part with Damian and the second with the ghosts are finally coming together and the result is incredible.Damian deserves the role of Batman.Maybe he is cruel but he is perfect for such a pessimistic future.At the end, he fights the third ghost and saves Gotham.Damian is an interesting character and I want to see more of him as Dark Knight.
Weird dark and crazy. Liked it!
