Morrison [...] best Batman story ever written

Jokes aside, if we're just saying best Batman stories period without limiting it to comic first, one of my favorite (maybe all-time favorite?) Batman stories is Batman Beyond Return Of The Joker. That poo poo rules.

He is an incredibly smart, creative and unpredictable adversary, but Snyder especially writes him as this hypergenius who's constantly one step ahead and isn't smart so much as he is supernaturally aware of what's going on and not creative so much as increasingly, artlessly violent. This character needs an enema, to borrow a phrase from a much better written Joker.

Well it's not like Morrison wrote him as incompetent so Snyder was just following suit. But hell it's not Morrison's fault either, Joker's been slowly amped up to be the Best Villain Ever™ by a looooong string of writers.

All I know is that if anyone says they like Grant Morrison making Joker some weird hyper aware mastermind who knows Batman keeps changing but doesn't like Snyder making Batman cognizant of the fact that his hosed up universe will conjure an even-worse villain if Joker's gone, then you're a hypocrite. I mean they're very very close to the same thing.

I agree, Detective was a lot of fun, and the old Red Robin costume is probably the worst costume design of the last ten years.

I hate to agree with D_T, but silly though those wings may have been, at least the N52 Red Robin costume was distinctive, rather than his new look of Robin with an extra R on the logo, or his pre-Flashpoint look of "Hey is that Dr. Mid-Nite oh no wait it's Tim"

e: oh poo poo I didn't see how old the post I was responding to was, nevermind ignore me.
