The 1950s actually on Grant Morrison's Batman stories
Though I'm sure there's hints of the Silver Age in his Green Lantern run
You're a new man with the new profile picture, Leostales 😑
Recently I read a Batman story he wrote in Legends of the Dark Knight, but I can't remember the title nor what was it about, I just didn't like it. I also read Final Crisis and some of his Batman run (RIP, Batman and Son, Black Hand, etc), but it was years ago when I had little to no understanding of the DC Universe, so it was hard to understand what was going on. His Action Comics run in New 52 was also weird and I couldn't enjoy much after the first 6 issues. And I mentioned it before, I read maybe 3 or 4 issues of the Green Lantern series, and I didn't hate it, but I dropped it and didn't read the issues that came after either.
Thanks.
"The 1950s actually on Grant Morrison's Batman stories"
For some reason my brain conflates the 50s with the Silver Age.
To clarify what I was saying earlier, I think its cool how he'll bring old stories back into canon, but I dislike how he'll ignore more recent stories. Example: He made Talia a rapist because he couldn't be bothered to read Son of the Demon.
But like I said, I try not to let this stop me from enjoying his strengths.
Understandable, it took me a long time to appreciate Final Crisis. Morrison certainly doesn't shy away from weirdness.
I think the only non-weird book of his I've read was Joe the Barbarian.
Oh yeah, Final Crisis and Action Comics suck. But im talking about Batman titles. It was actually found a way to take the campy 50s amd 60s stuff and modernize it.
Are there any new Batman comic titles?
The 2 staples, the ongoing Batman, which is written by Tynion and Detective Comics
When reading Morrison you have to meet crazy with crazy, shrooms with shrooms, vivid hallucinations with, ah you get the point. Grant puts his body through extreme measures when writing. For awhile he would stay up for days in end to get hallucinations that would influence his writing. I for sure know that’s how he write some of the original Invisibles series when he was hospitalized and drugged out of his mind. His approach to writing is very much “open your mind before your mouth”. Does it work for superheroes, meh, indie work, usually. Either way, he’s a mixed bag in my mind.
That's how he does it
What do you think?
