Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Volume 3

Epic conclusion to the Morrison saga. DC nearly scuppered this with the new 52 launch, but he got it home and the story stuck the landing. Excellent art throughout in particular by Chris Burnham. Still the best Batman run of this century.

The final chapter of Grant Morrison's epic, multi-year saga, Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 3, is a fittingly grandiose and emotional conclusion. It may be the most challenging volume of the three, but it is also the most rewarding, bringing together years of intricate plotting and character development into a stunning climax. The War for Batman’s Soul This omnibus primarily collects the Batman, Incorporated series, a concept that is vintage Morrison in its ambition and scope. With Bruce Wayne returned and back in the cowl, he makes a bold move: he reveals that he is the public benefactor of Batman and announces the creation of "Batman, Incorporated," a global network of Batmen and Batwomen designed to fight crime on a worldwide scale. This new direction is a logical extension of Morrison's central thesis—that Batman is an idea, not just a man—but it also sets the stage for the final, devastating conflict. The primary antagonist of this volume is Leviathan, a shadowy organization led by a figure from Batman's past. The war between Batman Inc. and Leviathan is a sprawling, high-stakes spy thriller that takes the Bat-family to exotic locales and pits them against a truly sinister new threat. This is where Morrison's encyclopedic knowledge of DC's history truly shines, as he pulls on threads from forgotten corners of the Bat-mythos and weaves them into a dense and satisfying tapestry. The Tragic Heart of the Story While the global-scale war is the plot's engine, the emotional core of this volume is the relationship between Bruce and his son, Damian. Morrison's journey with Damian Wayne is a masterclass in character redemption. The arrogant, violent child from Volume 1 has grown into a genuine hero, a worthy Robin to his father's Batman. This transformation makes the inevitable, gut-wrenching tragedy of this volume all the more impactful. The final act of this run is a powerful and heart-wrenching meditation on parenthood, sacrifice, and legacy, and it will leave you with a profound sense of catharsis. Art and Consistency As with the previous volumes, the art is a highlight, featuring work from artists like Chris Burnham and Yanick Paquette, who bring a distinct and often frenetic energy to the pages. The art style perfectly captures the high-octane, globe-trotting nature of the story. While the shifts in art style can take a moment to adjust to, they consistently serve the narrative, from the detailed action to the quiet, emotional moments. Final Verdict: A Magnificent Ending Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 3 is not just a conclusion to a series; it is the culmination of a decade-long vision. It's a run that asks big questions about who Batman is and what he represents, and it answers them in a way that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant. For those who have followed the journey from the beginning, this volume offers a magnificent and deeply moving finale. It solidifies Morrison’s place as one of the most important and influential Batman writers of all time. While the density of the narrative and its deep-cut references may not be for everyone, for the dedicated reader, this is a masterpiece of modern superhero comics. It is a run that changed the character forever, and this final volume is the beautiful, painful, and glorious end to that change.

En USA la etapa de Grant Morrison se recoge en 3 tomos omnibus, los dos primeros están recogidos en España en el mega tomo Batman RIP de ECC. Sin embargo la parte referente a este tercer omnibus con el cierre de Morrison no está agregada y es un poco lío encontrarla, para mí mucho mejor comprar este tercer ómnibus y leer el final de la etapa de Morrison donde se concluye Batman Incorporated, Leviathan, Damian Wayne, etc. Grandes historias a mi parecer, interesante el enfoque multi Batman, brutal el desarrollo del mundo de los Robin (no haré spoilers). Para mi, necesario para cerrar la etapa RIP. Llegó en perfectas condiciones para guardar en la biblioteca con las esquinas intactas.

Comprem sem medo. Volumes 2 e 3 vieram importados e chegaram totalmente conservados e bem embalados. Uma das runs mais únicas do Batman. Loucura que a Panini ainda não trouxe estas edições pro Brasil.

Todo bien, llegó en tiempo y forma, en perfecto estado.
