Ehhhh. I don't know if Snyder was doing an ode to years past or whatever but Joker dubiously leaping off a cliff into water.. pretty damn cliche. Also the HaHa stuff.. pretty sure that was ripped from Batman R.I.P with the red/black cards.. both "big reveal" was in front of the bat computer. The overall premise just flat out did not make sense to me. So Bats didn't tell anyone that Joker MAY HAVE been to the batcave, thus MAY HAVE known their identities all a long therefore the bat family hates Bruce for this. WHAT??? There's been plenty of villians who've made it to the batcave and Bruce never told anyone.. why should they resent Bruce for that? It's idiotic. Their relationships are too strong for something as weak as that get in the way.

Speaking of Batman and Robin, there was an interview where Morrison said he could have written Dick and Damien stories for years, and I really wish DC would have let him. That was easily my favorite part of his Batman run.

I liked the end of the Action Comics run. One of those types nerdgasm types of moments with Superman getting defeated all his life.. so at the "present" he already has a life of experience in fighting him
Yeah Dick & Damian as Batman & Robin was THE BEST. That should have been the 21st century dynamic duo but we all knew Bruce had to come back at some point. He said that on the Kevin Smith Fatman on Batman podcast. It's really interesting hearing him talk about that run. In one interview he says that Batman was getting too dark again so he brought back adventure/60's Adam West vibes but replaced the campiness with creepyness which is totally spot on with what they were able to accomplish.
