I got into bodybuilding and martial arts as a kid thanks to batman and grant morrison’s work with the character. After winning my first Natural Bodybuilding OCB show, I’m more in love with the character than ever. I appreciate you summing up his work but also just speaking so much on Batman’s best stories. Love your channel man, keep going.

Speaking of Morrison I recommend his Animal Man run from his early works😼

Batman rip became my personal favourite, due to the fact Bruce himself was pushed to his absolute limits both physically and mentally and still came out on top...

Morrison is one of my absolute favorite writers, their stories are so interesting and ingrained with strange ideas and fun I just love reading through their catalog. Their Batman run also happens to be my absolute favorite run on Batman, so many cool ideas and stories, it’s just incredible!

I like how his Batman is more fantastical, mystical and goofy yet more psychological, human, and imperfect.

Yeah, so do I.

Grant Morrison *IS* the high water mark of Batman comics! It's absolutely brilliant how Grant took the nameless doctor from *BATMAN 156* and combined him with Thomas Wayne Jr *World's Finest **#223* and even incorporated Darkseid to create Simon Hurt. Such a creative imagination on Grant. The true magnificence is when you start seeing the all the foreshadowing and clues of later events within the run. No other writer has been able to match up with what Grant was able to do with Batman and his history since. Same goes for the brilliant explanation for Grant's reason of why the Joker acts completely different every time he reinvents himself. The Clown at Midnight is an under appreciated masterpiece! Great video! I always enjoy listening to others speak of my favorite comic book run.

I never read any of grant Morrisons batman comics, but I have to say the way he elevated Batman and his history, blows me away. I like that he takes the 80 year history, and doesn’t ignore the little things but tries to incorporate them in a creative and sensible way. He’s a damn good writer

Thank you for this heartfelt celebration of Batman RIP. My personal favorite as well!

This is a great analysis! I stayed up late to read the whole thing through, and I was lost a bit towards the very end. Morrison’s passion for the weirdness of the continuity is so evident. Thanks for this!

Brooo more videos like this!!! This was great!

You should totally follow up on this with batman inc. this got me really intrested

Great video man. There is a documentary about Grant Morrison well worth the watch

This is a great video. I've never made a youtube video but I've thought about making something similar to this. People need to appreciate Morrison's run more! I know people like it but there's so much history involved I feel like myself and a few other really hardcore Batman fans can have a seizure from all the wonderful little references Morrison puts in there.

Grant Morrison‘a Batman run is such a great story it might be the best published work of fiction of the new century. No cap. I think the only work of fiction that I’ve read, and I’ve read a lot, not just comics and manga, that compares to it in quality is Hunter X Hunter. Batman is slightly better. But Hunter X Hunter is very good. I’ve read Morrison’s Batman a handful of times and it never gets old. There is so much depth. So much intrigue. The character development is top notch. I just love it.

this is brilliant

The way he describes bstman at 25 having had a robin grow up is funny considering in continuity thats the age he becomes batman

Morrison is truly the goat

Nice ma boi

I know I'm a bit late to all of this, but I just want everyone who can see this to know that Grant uses both they/them AND he/him pronouns, or at the very least Grant doesn't mind it whenever they are/he is referred to as the latter, So yes, you can still say it's a he/him if you feel like it's more convenient, and I don't blame you. You do not need to feel guilt or shame for calling him a him, they/them are simply just pronouns he prefers more.

That rock monster has just unlocked a hidden memory in my mind, in the 2010s kids short film the jokers playhouse they include the giant rock monster as an Easter egg.

Final Crisis was so close to being amazing

I may be alone in this, but how DC is treating the Gentry and the Empty Hand right now in Dark Crisis is outright disrespect for the original source of Multiversity.

I love Grant Morrison's Batman. I'd always wanted to collect their Batman run, and now I got help to mske my dream come true. Not only that, but their Batman was a true superhero, a mortal who took tragedy and turned it into a force of good by traning physically, intellectually, and spiritually, and took down an evil god before being sent to humanity's beginning.

best run ever!

Shoutout to Bat-Mite, the absolute realest one there ever was

I always thought the ending of RIP was the perfect ending for the caped crusader. That DC should have let Batman die. At least until the next reboot anyways.

You know those auto subtitles are all kinds of jacked right?

Batman R.I.P. has to be one of the best structures for writing conspiracies with Batman. Forcing Bruce to believe that the organization is false, only to fall for a woman named Jezebel was a nice touch.

the subtitles are a bit messy

It's so easy to criticize morrison and his work but he's an amazing writer. He's created so many of my favorite stories and I don't care its edgy bullshit to others

Bro looks like professor x

I'm gonna be quite honest, i absolutely haye what i've read from grant morrison, which isn't a lot (new x men and half of batman and robin), it always feels like he's trying to do much more than he's capable of, like "hey it's the mastermold, remember him? Oh the shi'ar are here too bet you didn't expect them", but when comes to themes he brings up like when someones beat Emma Frost and says that he could sell her blood as some sort of colorant essentialy using violence as a product which is a good message and was made in an effective way that is if he didn't just a few issues later showed a baby choking another baby essentially doing what he criticized. Batman and robin was better still with unnecessary references like " hey look, it's Jason giving a choice to the public via phone calls, oh and now robin is beating the joker with a crowbar" but i didn't felt like it was pulling me away from the story or was creating weird plot holes. Overall i think he have some good ideas most of them when he tries to create something new like the stepford cuckoos, the secondary mutations or professor pyg. But he always tries to put some references to old stories which most of the times didn't work in his favor. I'll still finish batman and robin and after the video i'll be reading some if his batman stuff and see if my opinion changes. Great video, don't agree with some points, but it was well made.

Morrison is a writer I really love (I haven’t read new X-men, but I have read several other stories), and my favorite Batman run is their run on Batman. It’s weird, adventurous, light hearted, dark, and sadly not for everybody. But I love the concept of everything since the 40s being canon despite it not making sense, because that’s kind of the point, what is this incredible and strange man who’s life makes no sense? How has he managed to get through all of this? It’s because he’s prepared for all of it. It also has pretty much everything there is to like about Batman through it, detective work, darker stuff with their joker, the weird stuff like zurr en arrh, smaller adventures, Batman the globe trotter at the absolute top of his game in Batman inc, etc. it is weird, but I like that about it, unfortunately it being weird makes it somewhat niche despite my thinking it being masterful. Also Batman and robin is the second part of this sort of three act story. I’d also say the references aren’t really for no reason, they’re integral for EVERYTHING to be real for Batman. Because we have to keep in mind without these weird villains and concepts from older comics being present throughout morrison’s Batman, then their whole premise for the run wouldn’t matter. If you want to give Morrison a chance with one of their other books, I’d recommend all star Superman, animal man is really good but it does dive into weird stuff, and joe the barbarian. Basically, Morrison is one of my absolute favorite writers

If you've only started Morrison's Batman run from Batman & Robin, you've missed all that came before. Pretty much the content of *Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus vol.1.* It's like trying to start watching a movie or tv show from the middle. You're not going to have an easy time understanding when you've already missed so much vital context.

Grant incorporated Batman's entire publishing history into one cohesive comic run. It's something no other writer ever dared do before, and no other writer has ever been able to accomplish ever since. Yet Grant was able to achieve this masterfully.

It's really interesting because it's only with Batman in comics that this insane level of continuity is acceptable I'd say because in any other medium and with any other character this would diminish the work and just create a creative dissonance but with Batman in the comics it works.
