Yeah, the art by Cameron Stewart was wonderful - it felt like a cross between his Seaguy Saturday morning cartoon style, and Frank Quitely. The list of British villains was fantastic (I want to see Knight and Squire fight Big Don Drummond, or the Morris Men). I thought the use of the Beefeater was nice - it gave the jail sequences a weird surreality.

I'd love to see a Grant Morrison Knight and Squire miniseries, but I somehow doubt he'll be working on anything but the A-list character for DC for a while at least.

All in all a really enjoyable issue.

Spoilers Ahead


As it goes, the double body was a lot simpler to explain. The body in the present time was one of the clones Darkside had tried to make from Batman

i gotta admit, though, ciarconn, your superposition theory was really cool. i'd have been equally excited by that reveal.

Batman and Robin's getting really intense. I like the structure of it. Discreet 3-issue arcs that still manage to spin long-running plotlines like plates on sticks. And the next arc seems like it'll bring internal conflict front-and-center, which always makes for a great story. The current arc's been flawless (save for the little lettering flub last issue) and I'm impressed by how seamlessly the sci-fi New Gods flashback integrated with the whole ghost story / horror vibe.

Cameron Stewart's been amazing as well. He should get lots more high-profile gigs. His work here is excellent. Pristine storytelling clarity coupled with an attention to mood and detail that really brings out the epic feel of the story. This arc, next to Seaguy and Catwoman, demonstrates how he can handle just about any kind of story.

Oh yeah--in case you guys haven't seen 'em, Cameron's been sharing his digital layouts for #7 on his blog. they're pretty awesome; probably the most detailed comics layouts i've seen anyone do:

Oh, dear.

Well, I'm going to take a different tack and point out that as a consumer I'm interested in who's writing my comics. I think Moore should pull his head out of his fucking arse on this one and have a think about those people who are actually buying the products of his labours.

Batman & Robin 10
The Haunting of Wayne Manor

Back to the old "Batman RIP" atmosphere.
Mysteries abound.
Who is Oberon Sexton? is he Bruce Wayne? a temporarily sane Joker?
Is Doctor Hurt really THAT Thomas Wayne? (not Bruce's dad, the satanist and devil worshipper from centuries ago).
What about the demon BARBATHOS?
