Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 2

You definitely should check out Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 1 if you haven’t already. This book continues right where that one left off. The story begins with Dick Grayson (the very first, and original Robin) has taken up the mantle of Batman. Bruce Wayne has been missing and is presumed dead. Bruce’s Son, Damian who was introduced in Omnibus Vol. 1 takes up the mantle of Robin. This presents a very unique dynamic between Batman & Robin, as now we have a lighthearted, optimistic Batman clashing with a grim and brooding Robin. There are a lot of growing pains along the way. Alfred Pennyworth really shines in this series, as he adds some much needed guidance for our two heroes. Within these stories you really come to love Alfred, as he is the very heart and soul of the Bat-Family. The Dynamic between Batman & Robin isn’t the only thing that has changed. Commissioner Gordon can tell that there’s something different about Batman & Robin, and is uncertain if he can trust them or not. We are introduced to an all-new Bat-mobile that we saw early in development in the first Morrison Batman Omnibus. Grant has also penned some new villains for our heroes to face, as well as some classic Rogues Gallery. The main & variant covers are printed just before each chapter. I’m pleased that the Bonus Content from the original collected editions has all been reprinted within this Omnibus. We finally get the Definitive reading order for Grant Morrison’s Batman run Batman & Robin 1-16, The Return of Bruce 1-6, and Batman 700-702 have been printed in chronological reading order for the first time, and I could not be happier!! The sequence order is a really smooth read and keeps a nice balanced tension. I was surprised at how well the different comic titles were juxtaposed. Batman & Robin #1 Batman & Robin #2 Batman & Robin #3 Batman & Robin #4 Batman & Robin #5 Batman & Robin #6 Batman & Robin #7 Batman & Robin #8 Batman & Robin #9 Batman #700 Batman & Robin #10 Return of Bruce Wayne #1 Batman & Robin #11 Return of Bruce Wayne #2 Batman & Robin #12 Return of Bruce Wayne #3 Batman #701 Batman #702 Batman & Robin #13 Return of Bruce Wayne #4 Batman & Robin #14 Return of Bruce Wayne #5 Batman & Robin #15 Return of Bruce Wayne #6 Batman & Robin #16 These Omnibuses collecting Grant Morrison’s Batman run have been a long time coming. If you haven’t read his run yet then you are in a real treat. this is the best presentation it's ever gotten. If you have already read Morrison’s Batman before, I can honestly say that it is worth getting this Omnibus as well as Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 1 . These books have been printed in a nice Deluxe size and in a great reading order. No need to switch in-between books while reading. I cannot express how much I love this Batman run! It’s without a doubt my absolute favorite! The re-read value is excellent, as there are lots of details that only present themselves upon revisiting. Every time I finish it I just want to start the run all over again. The story continues in Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 3

I am typically not a fan of Morrison's writing, at best I tend to think they're fine but overrated and not as overwhelmingly brilliant as most people seem to think. I've heard so many people I trust talk about how great this run is so I decided to pick this up. The Batman and Robin sections are very fun and I really enjoy the dynamic of Dick and Damian together. Also, the way they present The Return of Bruce Wayne chronologically with the Batman and Robin issues really improved my feelings on that story, I thought it worked much better than reading it by itself. The art is brilliant across multiple artists but I really loved Quitely's initial story, that really popped. Overall this is a really well written collection and one I expect I'll come back to often

Big book. Kid loves it

If you like Grant Morrison and his stellar Batman comics run, Then this hardcover variant is the way to go. Its around 900+ pages and filled to the brim w/ so many special features. The features are sketches and cover variants and interviews of the contributing artists. The Run starts where the Scott Snyder and Batman run closes up Death of the Family Vol 03 ends and also Detective comics that is releasing along w/ this as well. This book starts off w/ Damien Wayne taking Robins place and Nigtwing becoming Batman . Until The time traveling stories of Bruce Wayne lost throughout time

This is nearly as good as the first omnibus but the problem with this omnibus is that it takes issues from final crisis which makes it very complicated and hard to keep track of, but it had an amazing endgame

Ok

If you love Batman, it doesn't get any better than Grant Morrison and this huge, gorgeous omnibus that collects his Batman and Robin run. You also get The Return of Bruce Wayne and the list chapters of Batman R.I.P, that will answer some questions and tie up loose ends. Grant Morrison had an amazing run on Batman in the 2000's that might be the best and most inventive (and sometimes risky) take on the Caped Crusader. In this volume, we follow Batman as played by Dick Grayson and Robin, played by Bruce's son Damian. There is so much mileage you get out of this run it's rediculous. A real page turner and crowd pleaser. The Batman character has since gone on to have other impressive runs by fan favorite Scott Snyder and a more grounded approach with Tom King. Yet there is a certain litteral magic to what Morrison brought before, reshaping what was possible once again with his complex version of the character. Also, the price if this book is just too freaking good to pass up. It arrived perfectly and my jaw dropped when I saw how big it actually was. A part of me thought there was some catch, but no, this omnibus is the real deal. Nicely made, big, and we'll designed. If it's for the Batman fan in you, or for someone that loves the character, you are bound to enjoy this volume. Cheers.

Good to add in collection for Grant Morrison's Batman omnibus.

The quality of the package -images and extras makes these packages a constantly giving treat (for me).

I really enjoyed reading this comic. This is a must if you love Nightwing as a character. It explores his relationship with his relationship with Damian and the Batman mantle. Though the side plots with Bruce trapped in space was a tad bit weird.

Grant Morrison wrote one of the best runs on Batman’s story, going from chapters of pure horror and a frightening feeling, to science fiction moments, can’t wait to finish the final volume!

Tweede deel en ik vond het best een bijzonder verhaal.

A brilliant continuation from volume one. The paper quality is amazing and the extra details at the end really make it feel deluxe.
