Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Volume 3

Epic conclusion to the Morrison saga. DC nearly scuppered this with the new 52 launch, but he got it home and the story stuck the landing. Excellent art throughout in particular by Chris Burnham. Still the best Batman run of this century.

The Grant Morrison books are very well written and offer good insight to the characters.

Great book.

This final volume continues Morrison's treatise on the character, an epic reinforcement of the Batman's unbreakable spirit - which even literal living ideas and Gods fail to affect that ends with Batman Inc. - a true realization of the globe trotting, slick, suave, node in a network concept of worldwide vigilantes and the "anybody can be a hero" trope. The concept of Batman Inc., funded by Wayne Enterprises and thus tying the two together without unifying the secret identity with the masked one is a brilliant one, and logical extreme of the possibilities with Batman. The international Batmen are an epic set of fun characters fully realized after their brief appearances in the Silver Age and Island of Dr. Mayhew from omnibus volume 1.There is also the exploration of Batman's never ending mission, an Ouroboros, the snake that devours itself and the Dark mother archetype in Talia. Those are subtextual facets best read and pondered upon.Just a fantastically put together set of omnibi and a pleasure to own for aesthetics, book build and of course content.

Vol 1 was a fun read, but I found vol 2 weaker and vol 3 weak as well. Just didn't enjoy the run. The art and build quality is good though.
