Batman #666

One-sentence summary: Wait, what?

So this issue breaks out of the story in order to visit a possible future in which Damian Wayne has become the Batman. It's not a bad story in all considerations, I just didn't like how they took a break from the story in order to have this one-shot just because of the issue number (and they really forced the demonic stuff into it to make that justification). I think this was a very oddly placed filler, and a very odd filler at that, so I'm not sure what to think of it.

I like Morrison's writing, and I did like the story in this issue, it just seemed out-of-place. It's good for a one-shot, but, again, just awkward in placement.
