Alfred being the one who betrays Bruce would really piss me off. That is a load of crap. I don't think it will happen, and if it does, I am dropping Batman until Morrison stops writing it. If it ends up being Thomas Wayne, then I'm dropping it, too. That's a load of crap. Thomas and Martha Wayne should remain dead, they should remain dead, good people in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Why or How would/could it be Alfred that betrays Bruce if he's getting tortured by the Glove inside the Batcave?

Alfred is a staple in DC, and one, if not the, only person Batman really trusts. I honestly don't believe they would take this storyline that far. In regards to it being Thomas Wayne, again, I don't think DC would do such a dumb thing.

It's seems pretty straight forward to me. Instead of using physical force, the BG is tarnishing Bruce's name by destroying his family reputation and making him look like a junkie, plain and simple. Obviously, there's going to be several twists later on, but let's just wait and see.

Totally agree with you on R.I.P being the tarnishing of Batsy's reputation. However Morrison said one of the twists would be the most shocking reveal in 70 years of Bat history. Like you said Alfred is one of the few people Bruce trusts. I'm probably completely wrong but there are very few candidates who could serve to be such a shocking evil Mastermind.....

I think everybody is forgetting that Grant Morrison is also the guy who made Damien Batman's son. He doesn't really give too much thought as to what the fans think. Would he go so far as to turn Alfred or bring back Thomas Wayne? I wouldn't put it past him. I also wouldn't put DC past trying to hire Ed Brubaker back for the retcon.

In fact... I'd really like to see Brubaker write it anyway lol.

But back to reality, in place of that little fantasy, I don't think I'm going to be too surprised to see whatever it is that happens. Again, I'm more interested in seeing how Bruce gets the mask and cape back on.

I'll go mad if it's Alfred that would just be awful....same if they brought his dad back from the death, this whole gimmicky tale has been rather lackluster.

Bat-mite: You ? Oh, you're totally sane!

Nice cover art

Morrison's solits make me angry sometimes.

Not that I really cared after I finished this issue...it was amazing start to finish.

GM enjoys being cryptic and confusing a bit too much. Things are starting to congeal into a coherent story, but that doesn't wipe the bitter taste from my mouth from the first few issues when I was utterly mystified as to what was going on.

Another issue that requires The Joker appearance to make it interesting....

Agreed.

Wait...so one panel of the joker...made the issue interesting.....you must be easy to please 😛

I am disappointed so far with the whole arch.... 🙁

Another excellent issue.

The part where it revealed what the Batman of Zur-en-arrh actually is caught me by surprise. They don't call him prep-god for nothing 🙂

I'm loving this story. He should just stay as the Batman of Zurr-en-arrh.

I have not been a fan of this arch, i have not been a fan of the concept.
