Uh, what?

Since I found myself in a Bat-mood lately (wonder why?), I decided that I would pick up some Batman comics during my weekly run to the comic book shop. I'd been thinking of checking out the brand new Batman event, Batman: RIP, since I'd heard about it so this seemed like a great time to jump on board. As of this week, there are only four issues available, so I grabbed all of them.

They were amazing, up to a point. The tone for the series is intensely dark, just as I'd hoped, but somewhere in issue three things took a turn for the indescribable. For some kooky reason, Grant Morrison feels the need to dig up a very silly Silver Age story. The story in question? Take a gander...



Yah. The Batman of Zur-En-Arrh has returned in all his glory. I still don't know what to say.
