The majority of the attention and speculation from the “Batman R.I.P.” storyline has been appropriately focused on how this will affect Batman. It is, of course, called “Batman R.I.P.” and is happening in books named after and starring Batman. But while reading Batman #680, I couldn’t help but notice the dramatic changes that are happening…
In the lead: Whoa! There’s lot going on here. Krona’s free, and looking a lot cooler as a glowing-sun guy than he did as a blue-skin-with-a-receding-hairline guy.
