Yes, all of those. In fact, his first story "Dark Knight, Dark City" (Batman #452-454) plays a very important role in Morrison's run.
And its kinda a combination of both, as the narrative is crazy as hell(In order to survive, everyone must say "Frank Sinatra sucks" every ten minutes! Libraries where the covers are made from the victims! Demonic cults! etc), but there's very interesting things he does with the usual Batman narrative, especially with the themes of identity, and the cost of power. They're all very good, and Jim Aparo draws half of 'em, so it works on both ends!
Ah, there it is. They kept mentioning Barbatos during the latter part of the run, and then Morrison just went ahead and showed us the damn thing in Batman and Robin #16, thought that was really cool.
Also, I love that reaction by Batman near the end. Like, he's just somewhat annoyed.
Just read Flashpoint Frankenstein 2. The best book of the event IMHO. I have little doubt that it will be one of the best ongoings anywhere right now come september.
Maybe they will offer special variant editions of each WW issue. One with pants, and one without. Maybe even a third version with shorts! Collect them all!
With special 1-in-100,000 variant of Diana wearing nothing at all(Nothing at all! Nothing at all!)!
Lines will be drawn in the sand, brother will fight sister over who wears the pants in the family(or if they have to wear them at all), cats and dogs living together...mass hysteria!
You know, I'm willing to bet money there's another version of that #2 cover with no pants.
I'd bet DC slipped out the pantsless cover without saying anything (even their response was super vague) to gauge fan reaction, and determine whether people preferred the pants or swimsuit, and then released the #2 cover after realizing people preferred the pants more in general.
I really couldn't care less about this whole pants/no pants controversy. I'd prefer she do something with her massive cleavage, that's gotta get in the way when fighting.

I've been thinking about why DC would think a Mr. Terrific ongoing would work, the I remembered that 2 years ago they had a Solomon Grundy ongoing.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaahhhh.

She's barely got any cleavage in the WW covers, just in the Jim Lee stuff.
Now I need to decide what to read next! Gonna hold off on New X-Men for a bit. Maybe something like The Flash or Aquaman (who apparently doesn't suck?)? Or really any hero with quality books that I haven't read anything of yet.
Heroes I've read at least some of: Daredevil, Captain America, Superman, Animal Man, Batman, Iron Man, Thor, Moon Knight, Iron Fist, Resurrection Man, and those who were included in Annihilation.
Anyone have any ideas? Last time I asked this I got to read Secret Six, so I'm giving you guys another shot to be just as awesome!
From: TheKoolAidShoto | #233 There will be a compromise, where she simply rips one of the pants legs off, and its half-half, satisfying nobody, but making Didio laugh.
