I have not been impressed by Daniel's writing, and I sure as hell am not impressed by his reasoning here. His art is, at best, Jim Lee-done-badly. I hope he takes the time to learn from those storytellers who have managed to cross the divide between writing and art (Perez, anyone?) before he does anymore writing.
One of the major reasons I couldn't stand R.I.P. was the art. No, scratch that - it WAS the art. I couldn't get past it to really actually read Morrison's stuff. It was just page after page of scratchy pictures - no emotional connection, no kinetic 'pop', and only passable storytelling. This is all surprising because we have seen where he can draw some solid art - the cover of Batman #684 has a gorgeous Nightwing there. His presence is palpable, you feel the weight of the story in that pose and solidness.
DC needs to choose it's Batman artists more carefully (Well, this applies to everything in general, especially JLA). A Batman story demands what other comics can avoid: Noir sensibilities, emphasis on shadows and playing of the light, and the ability to make Batman a brooding, haunting presence without any dialogue. When Batman broods, or ponders, or even sits at his chair with his fingers steepled at his lips, I should be positively frightened/OhGodYesIt'sTheDetective. When he fights, its thick, and heavy. He might do some acrobatic tricks but it should feel like a bull - his muscles pushing some dark heavy force beyond the physical element. And that's not including the secondary characters and the environments.
