We’ve talked about them before on multiple episodes, but few writers cast a longer shadow over the canon of Batman than Grant Morrison. Big ideas, dark stories and characters that are polarizing are central to Morrison’s opus on Batman. This week, Matt & Will read three Batman stories by Morrison, one from before their long run on Batman, one from it’s beginning, and one from it’s middle, as Matt exposes Will to more Morrison, and while they don’t fight, well, let’s just say there are some compromises made on the ranking list this week.
Gothic: A Romance (Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #6-10)
The Club of Heroes (Batman V.1 #667-669)
Batman Reborn (Batman & Robin V.1 #1-3)
Be sure to check out this week’s BatChat column, where we look at Detective Comics #1,054, Task Force Z #4, and Batman: The Imposter HC.
