The book's main feature is its beautiful artwork. The story begins with a hoaxy murder mystery sentiment, but Batman's growing conflict with the villain eventually makes the story much more interesting. Both this work and it sequel suffer from some disorientation. That is, at times, its hard to keep up with all the various perspectives and scenes show to the reader.

Obviously, you have to read this to keep up with the Batman story. Nothing particularly great about the story. Art is good. The same holds true for the entire sequence (Batman and Son, Rise of Ra's Al Ghul, The Black Glove, and RIP).
It does not rise to the level of Miller's the Dark Knight or Year One. It is not as good of a mystery as The Long Halloween. But, probably on par with things like the Bruce Wayne: Fugitive series.
Like I said, you have to read it, but don't expect anything exceptional.

I would have to agree with the other reviewers where there are times where it seems I was missing something important, that there was some secondary plot hidden in the artwork or hinted at with character expression that I was not able to digest on the first reading. However it is more likely that this is just standard Morrison style of leaving the reader wanting, and the hints and allusions being more obvious than they first appear.
That is part of the fun with reading a Morrison book, what is this great big mystery he alludes to, suddenly it becomes so obvious that the reader realizes they spent too much time over analyzing subtle points, and not enough time just enjoying the ride.
D.C. Smartly pairs up Morrison with excellent artists and the results are a high quality GN that will satisfy, but not shock and surprise like some of the more recent revelations in the D.C. universe. But with this book and some of the others Morrison has recently penned, the foundation has been laid, and it is solid.

This title, as Batman & Son and Resurrection of Rha's al Ghul, is a perfect and definitive tie in for Batman RIP. I found this one in particular rather good given the mistery surronding the first chapters and later on because of the materialization of one of the Batman & Son predictions. I enjoy this book a lot for many reasons, but I won't give any spolier. The art is very good too, I must admit. Kind of dark (not too much) and gritty. This is a good purchase, Batman fans.

The beginning arc of this book is fantastic. It's quirky and fun while still being serious enough for a Batman book. The art is amazing. I like Tony Daniels work that comes at the end, but some of it seems like it was rushed or not inked properly. It's a very contrasting difference from the beginning art by JH Williams.
All in all, this was an interesting set up to RIP, and had some really great moments in it.
