6. The Batmaniest Batman Book Ever, Part 1
Before the finale, I want to mention how Morrison deals with all of Batman's history and somehow makes it all fit. Years ago, Batman took part in an isolation experiment in the Himalayas called Thogal which lasted several days in an effort to train himself for death - and the possibility of overcoming it! During this time, Bruce hallucinated all kinds of different Batman adventures he and Robin went on like the Adam West and Burt Ward Batman years and the out-there 1950s stuff. This Thogal sequence is essential to the plot as its where Bruce develops the Zur-En-Arrh personality, but it's also an ingenious way of explaining how all of Batman's bizarre decades-long history fit into the creation of this one man and have it make sense. It's such a brilliant idea by Morrison, it needs to be acknowledged.
