continuation.
That's all on Jim Lee for not fricking drawing it. Scripts are ready to go and Frank Miller is still writing and drawing. Hell Frank produced more comic work last year than Jim Lee did.
What was this, the Pissverse? Unironically, though, what was the gimmick here with everyone turning yellow? Some kind of fear wave overtaking the planet?
Batman doesn't respect GL, when he and Robin have a meeting with Green Lantern they paint everything yellow before the meeting to frick with him. This is a fresh Robin that's just gotten combat training but still isn't over his parents' recent death too. They get in a big dumb arguement, Robin channels Batman's contempt and kicks GL's ass but goes too far with a killing technique.
I would love to be you, reading this for the first time with fresh eyes, without the expectations set on the book when it was published.
Back when everyone expected Ultimate Batman and Robin and got the Goddamn Batman instead.
Considering all the soldier talk and (given his own internal monolouge about basically killing tons of people if he had the Lantern ring) Batman constantly talking about eliminating his enemies, Robin thinking he has to kill is one of the few things that isn't a leap of logic.

If you've never read All-Star Batman and Robin, do yourself a favor and read at least up to the Green Lantern issue. It's fricking wild.
suggested. Batman is still independent and there isn't a Justice League yet, just Superman, Wonderwoman, Green Lantern and Plastic Man have an alliance. They don't like Batman's methods and he thinks the other four are either insane, stupid or wasting their potential.
Also, this Batman curses every other sentence, which is weird, but it is certainly a quintessentially early 2000s thing.

Meanwhile, in a much more timely fashion, Morrison was writing one of the greatest celebrations of Silver Age Superman.
Wasn't there a comics where Superman figures out Batman's secret identify despite the lattar taking countermeasures such as lining up his mask with lead?
Robin was traumatized by the loss of his new parents and his new father figure is a violent psychopath. He was just trying to make Batman happy. This series is insanely unpopular and the Black Canary parts are genuinely awful but this is the most interesting version of Batman and Robin I've ever read. Wish it would have become the definitive take on Batman. The guy should always be portrayed as a child-endangering violent psycho doing a Clint Eastwood impression.
Because Frank Miller is a crazy person.
That comic was so fricking entertaining. Shame on DC for never releasing the continuation.

He's a trauma kid, Miller is a good writer and people are uneducated.
That type of impulsivity is seen in kids with ptsd and trauma.
The Goddamn Batman needs to be the main one come next Crisis.

This reads like a parody.

Why was he fricking with other heroes again?
Just read through the 10 issues

This was the best art Lee ever did, shame it was wasted on Miller's trash script
Out of my way, sperm bank

Jim Lee stinks.
This was incredibly stupid. Heck, the entire mini series was incredibly stupid.
The only good thing coming out of thiis was the "I'm the goddamn batman" quote.
