Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

Dini's run on 'tec is definitely what I was thinking, but yeah Morrison did it really well too.
The giant stories everyone seems to love writing lately just kill me. Not only do I get fatigued by everything being "the biggest thing yet!" but at the end of the year if all I got was one or one and a half new Batman stories I don't feel like I'm getting a lot of bang for my buck.

But I guess those "giant stories" are more trade-collection friendly, which is probably something the bean counters prefer.
Then again, during the New52, Snyder's Batman occasionally had 1-2 issue stories, and then those got bunched together in a separate collected edition.
Maybe it has something to do with how popular the run is? If nobody is buying it then maybe it is safer to do 6 issues long arcs because then at least some people will buy it in order to complete the story.

Detective Comics #1064 Preview

Backup Writer: Si Spurrier
Backup Artist: Dani
Damian looks a little older than he should there. I guess it depends on when that's set.
1064 was better as the story actually got some focus at last.
It is weird when characters have long relationship and only now decide to mention some old legend they always knew and were relevant to their relationship.
