Grave Matters: The Batman's Grave

I just want Batman to punch a novelty themed villain! Is that too much to ask? Like, I dunno, the great-great-great grandaughter of Dick Turpin shows up in Gotham and tries to steal all the horses ahead of the Gotham Derby. Batman tracks her down to the Troy Gardens theme park in the end.

Kevin Nowlan? I'm on board to try any book he's on (even if it's inking Hitch).

The new series by The Authority creative team, has the caped crusader taking on a case of a victim with a half-eaten face, a case which has Alfred Pennyworth worrying that the man under his care might end up next to his parents in the grave.

And this is different from any of the hundreds of times Alfred's voiced concern for Batman's life...how? Does he know something about the killings he decides not to share for 8 to 10 issues?

I'll just second belletainsummer and sporkbot here. I don't need Batman light and fluffy, but holy sweet goddam can the writers please stop trying to outgrim each other?

And why doesn't a writer just put Alfred in a suit and have him swing along beside Batman while wringing his hands?

The GOAT, Warren Ellis, is writing it
