Spoiler:
Batman's bat-sh*t crazy, more hardcore violent than ever, and dressed in purple. He talks with inanimate objects and a (presumably fake) Bat-Mite. It's Bruce's repressed alter-ego in case someone ever attacks him psychologically. Black Hand takes over Arkham at the end and tell Joker that Batman is coming.

Think I'll be waiting for the collection of that. Is it worth it so far?
Depends on who you talk to. To some, it's a brilliantly offbeat Batman story that delves deeper into the character than many similar story arcs. To others, it's a needlessly cryptic Morrison "look how clever I am" wank-fest. To most, it's a little of both.

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.... 🙁
The Joker is the only reason why I've stuck with this arch. I don't find Black Glove and his League of Villains anything interesting. The whole Jezebel Jet romance looks phoney and unconvinicing. Even worse Morrison continues to shove that atricious Damian into this arch...it's just laughable.
I will give Dan and Morrison props for the overhype of this R.I.P. aside from all that...there is not much.

I'm not even sure why I'm following it. Great limited series like "Hush" or "The Long Halloween" capture Batman's character better than Morrison's schizophrenic tome in RIP. Imo, at least.
The first few issues turned me off because I was confused, so I'm not minding it now that it's starting to come together. But I won't be recommending it to anyone.

I read the Batman issues of RIP and haven't really seen much about his personality at all, except that he leaves his sanity on a knife edge.
