![]() ![]() This whole thing would have been easy enough to stage as Bruce Wayne looking anguished by himself, while internal caption boxes carry the conversation. Cooke works something out on the page that plenty of arguments in comic shops have raged on about over the years.īut, most of all, he shows the argument in a compelling way, visually. ![]() This split personality between Wayne and Batman, though, is so classic and so well-documented that dramatizing it in this way feels natural. It's kind of like most Doctor Strange stories where the rules of magic can change to give the writer whatever ending they need. Others fail miserably, such as most times an X-Men story moves to the Astral Plane, where make believe versions of people have make believe fights that may have impact on the real world if that's what the writer chooses to do. Right now, Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips are coming the closest in their series, "Kill or Be Killed". Dramatizing a built-in personality conflict with demons is enough to make me roll my eyes. This whole story is not usually my kind of thing. ![]()
