Comic of the Week: Batman #691

October 21, 2009

Before I get right to it, I wanna let you know that I’m one of those people who want Tim Drake to be Robin in the cool red and black costume, Dick Grayson to be Nightwing, Damien to be retconned right out of fucking existence and Bruce to be Batman again. It’s not because I don’t like change - I think change is good in a the comic book medium - but because a smiling Batman doesn’t sit right with me. Oh, and Bruce is the most gigantic asshole in all of comicdom, and everyone loves gigantic assholes.

That brings me to Batman #691 where in a world with a dead Bruce Wayne, he still manages to be a total dick.

Let me start off by saying that the Two-Face Batman costume is one of the most retarded things I have ever laid my eyes upon since 1983. Yes, since the year I was born, since the day I opened my eyes. I have never seen anything more retarded than that since then. At least he is consistent with the two-tone briefs.

Thankfully, this isn’t what it seems, but you’re just going to have to read the comic to find out. Or I might spoil it for you eventually, but whatever, it’s still stupid and is only a minor detail.

So, Batman #691 can practically be divided into three major parts- The fight, the complication and the Batdickery. Majority of the issue is a fight between Dent and Grayson, which pretty much plays out like a really bad B-movie. The good guy gets the shit kicked out of him, then an outside force interferes and the good guy eventually pulls something out of his Bat-ass.

Exhibit B

The complication gets interesting so I won’t post any pics or say much about it, but it gets… well, complicated. Things were done and offers were made and things kinda went back the way they used to, sort of, but not really. It just feels like there was a lot of effort for a whole lot of nothing. Or something. See? Complicated.

The Batdickery part is where this issue really pays for itself, in my awesome opinion. For one thing, we haven’t seen a lot of Batdickery in a few months so seeing one now is a nice breath of familiar Batdick air. (Nerd pun intended.) Even from beyond the grave, Batman’s dickery knows no bounds. It almost makes me feel safe and content knowing that no matter who’s under the cowl, Bruce Wayne’s asshole behavior will have everlasting repercussions for all eternity.

 DUN DUN DUN!!!!

The issue was a bit too dry for me until things really picked up halfway through and really took it home in the end. That being said, I give this issue of Batman #691 two and a half Classic Batdickery Demotivational Posters out of 5!
