Don't worry, I'll wait.
You don't need ground breaking classics just to tell a good story. Brubaker doesn't have to confuse the audience like Morrison does and later claim "it's part of the plan"
Sorry, but I don't get con so easily.

The stories are layered are multi-faceted if you peel away the layers, he leaves crumbs, but there has been nothing confusing I've found in his stories.

I'm sorry but you're moving into the area of Morrison fanatics that proclaim such nonsense. The man purposly mislead his readers into creating their own conclusions and by the time the story ends is a big anti-climatic. Add the fact the man loves to throw in his atrocious creation of the Batman son! Oh, yeah! Scrappy Doo of the industry.

See, I grew up with the Batman detective stories of the 70s. Those stories did not have to peel away anything...it provided the readers with challenging clues to solve. Whereas Morrison is like going "Oh! Here is a character from the Batman history! Threw him in and that is self explanitory"

They're just stylistically different.
I just think Morrison's crazy, experimental bent towards the medium, is better served with characters where he can give full reign to his imagination - Doom Patrol, Superman, JLA, X-Men, Fantastic Four.
But with Batman in his own book, I want streetwise stories, not nutso superheroing. Ed Brubaker, Jeph Loeb, and (early)Frank Miller do that. While Morrison wants us to run along behind him on his acid trip storytelling.
By the way - what was that revelation he was telling about last year? The one that was supposed to be the biggest one in the 70 year history of DC?
It turned out to be nothing at all - didn't it?

It's not even and acid trip story...to me Morrison tries very hard to write a good detective story but somehow he chickens out and replaces it with an ex du Machina. Or he just runs to the wishing well and takes characters from the past just to make themselves as self explanitory.
And yer right...biggest revelation turn out to be the biggest drop of the ball last year.
On the other side of the coin is Paul Dini...he has master the skill of Detective stories in the Batman Mythos. It's like the man came from the 70s to thrill us with his mighty pen.
Oh, and edit note...I'm not going to be a sour puss and spoil things for you guys. I'll take this to PM to avoid others displeasure.

Yes, Paul Dini is great. Working in both the comics and the DC animated universe; he's not too heavy or too light, but just right. He's from the Peter David-Mark Waid school of entertaining writers.
And Brian Azzarello - there's another Bat writer I would prefer over Morrison.
