Product Description:
Batman's immortal foe, Ra's Al Ghul, should be dead at last -- so how has he returned to haunt The Dark Knight?

And what does his return have to do with Batman's teenaged son, Damian -- whose mother is Ra's Al Ghul's daughter, Talia? It will take the combined skills of Batman, Robin and Nightwing to get to the bottom of these mysteries and stop Ra's Al Ghul's insidious plans!

3 out of 5 starsHey, it has its moments
Man, this coulda been somethin great. There are some truly excellent moments, worthy of the biggest Hollywood summer blockbuster. But then there are moments that pure stink up the joint. Damian is truly an awful, unlikeable, dreadful (enough adjectives?) character that is a hindrance to the development of the story. The dynamic between Batman, Nightwing & Robin is rewarding and the banter enjoyable, but it can't save other character interactions from tanking. So while there is some real fun to be had here, its a wasted opportunity. Should've been 5 stars considering the reputation of Dini & Morrison but the story never soars. You'll read it in one short sitting.



5 out of 5 starsAwesome.
Up until I read Batman R.I.P. this was my favorite of the more recent Batman books, at least by Morrison. It just had a great storyline and was very well drawn out. I don't want to say anything more to spoil anything but it's definitely a great pick up.



2 out of 5 starsBad road to Batman RIP
I got Batman & Son, The Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul and The Black Glove in order to understand Batman RIP. I found Resurrection quite bad because things happened "just because". I mean, this is just like a silver age comic, no grounds. Ra's second coming was SO damn easy that makes the tale a real lay down. The action parts of the book were good though and it was nice to have Robin and Nightwing on the team again. Still the book is no big deal, but it will help to lear 1 or 2 things about RIP. My recomendation: Let a frind get it and then ask it borrowed.



3 out of 5 starsMore straight-forward, but not as interesting (or cohesive).....
Spinning off from the previously published (and far-superior) "Batman and Son", this collection of Batman stories features the return of (my favorite) Batman villian Ra's Al Ghul.

If you haven't read Batman and Son the story's typical enough you'll still be able to figure out what's going on (Ra's Al Ghul trying to use Batman's "son" Damien to transfer into his body) but unfortunatly splitting the narrative between writers Paul Dini and Grant Morrison (and at least six COMPLETELY different artists) makes the comic read uneven. In fact, if you're collecting these stories for Grant Morrison's COMPLETE run (Batman and Son, this book, Black Glove, RIP, Final Crisis)you'd almost be able to skip this one and go right on to "Black Glove".

As I said again, the story-telling's more straight forward but I feel it lacks the originality of Morrison's other Batman stories and therefore you're not as likely to go back to this one as you are the others. It's not bad or anything, but it's not as satisfying either.



5 out of 5 starsPretty Enjoyable!
I'm not gonna get into detail about this book, but I will say that this is pretty good. A lot of concepts may seem a bit odd, such as Damien's attitude, but one has to remember that he IS still a kid who wants his father's attention. Ra's return was pretty suspenseful and the person who confronts him was pretty interesting. Grant Morrison is an odd bird, but he can write a compelling story.
