Hmm, sounds so familiar, especially the talking head. I bet Joker will talk shit to Batman the entire way, with Bruce losing his mind.

I mean it's Synder/Capullo - they have worked on some of my favourite Batman arcs.

When was Morrison's run? That was peak Batman for me.
Snyder's done some truly excellent stuff, but he's dropped the ball a few too many times for me to put him over GM.
I don't like GM's take on Batman tbh. Too many idiotic things happened between Batman Inc. Batman proper, Batman and Robin and Final Crisis. And he created Damian Wayne, yeah.
Ah. You see, I really like Damian. The role reversal between Dick-Bats and Damian was a joy to read. Reminds me of the TV show.
It's one of my favourite long-form narratives since Mike Carey's Hellblazer run (and his Lucifer stuff, actually). It's such a perfect distillation of everything that makes Batman so compelling. Can't think of many other writers who have nailed him so well.
What's the idiotic stuff?
Well, The Return of Bruce Wayne and how he handled Bats in Final Crisis (Bruce should've stayed dead without a convoluted story about how he's not really dead) is probably my biggest gripe with his run. I need to refresh my memories though, I remember disliking his stuff while reading it, but can't remember why exactly.
Ah, fair enough.
I loved the Return of Bruce Wayne. It undermines the myth of Batman as a loner, presents the bat as an enduring myth, and the pay-off in Batman & Robin was classy as fuck.
Also: Cave-Bat-Man. :D
Snyder is also doing some the Batman Who Laughs series right now, which is great.
