Can definitely see why people wouldn't enjoy R.I.P., but I enjoyed it. I had long ago read about a lot of the silver age nonsense that went on in Batman, and seeing used creatively here was a bit of a mark out moment. The Black Glove Organization while unfamiliar, seemed legit scary and formidable. I also loved how Joker was both written and drawn in this as well.
Really enjoyed Grant's work on Batman and Robin. Especially with Frank Quietly on the art. Always feel like something is missing when another artist draws Morrison's work.
Used to hate Quietly, back when I first saw his work on New X-Men. At some point, possibly when reading All Star Superman, something just clicked, and I "got it", gaining a new apprectiation for his art style. It works so well, because his art is kind of surreal and disturbing, and it fit's Grants work so well, since his writing is so very often surreal and disturbing. I even went back and read New X-men and enjoyed it so much I'm going to buy the omnibus.
