Batman Incorporated #9 Review

5 / 5

Batman Inc #9 is basically Bruce's Requiem book (without discounting B&R 18 of course!). We see the family bury Damian. We see the moments following Damian's death as the team escapes from Wayne Tower. We see Cyril's funeral and then rebirth (read to find out). The biggest thing we get is the answer to the question I posed a month ago when this event went down - how was Bruce going to look at Alfred after letting Damian leave the cave. What we get is one of the most powerful scenes since Damian's death. I can't wait to see what happens next as far as that's concerned. 

The book as a whole is the story of issue 18's aftermath. How does Gotham respond? How does the government respond? How do individual team members respond? All of it carries the appropriate weight and heart. I wish Batman Inc had been like this for me since the beginning. 

I feel the need to comment once again how distracting the art is to me. While I know there are a lot of people who really like Burnham's work, it really pulls the entire product down for me. I wonder if I would have enjoyed the series more from the beginning had the art been sharper. This, obviously, isn't changing any time soon, but I feel like it's worth mentioning. 

All-in-all, great book. I just hope the rest of the arc stays this strong. Talia is about to have a bad time.
