It was written by Gerard Jones with art by Gene Ha.Rock star Izaak Crowe is at the end of his rope, spiraling into despair as he feels his music doesn't have that same tone as it did before. However, before he can take his life, he's met with what seems to be a hallucination of who he claims to be God who convinces him to change and he becomes more destructive. As Batman and Robin deal with the matter, the two are stuck in a generational gap as Batman believes rock and roll is inherently evil and Robin believes Batman's being overreactive. Can the two solve their differences and find Izaak before he does something deadly?While the book didn't make much noise when it was released, it became well known thanks to Linkara's review of it on Atop the Fourth Wall, mocking Batman's ridiculousness such as his idea that "Punk is nothing but death... and crime... and the rage of a beast" and considering rock & roll to be one of his most nefarious foes.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Artistic License – Economics | |

Artistic License – Economics: Crossing over a bit with Artistic License – Religion as well: Izaak raids the former home of "The God" — which happens to preserve the man's body on display a la Vladimir Lenin — and announces that he's going to make it free to access for all, directly comparing to how "In Europe, the relics of saints are available to all worshipers — free!" This comparison doesn't work for a variety of reasons: the US government already subsidizes sites of cultural importance, including those related to music, making it unclear what Izaak is trying to fight here that would prevent access from being "free" in the first place. Even if one buys into the equation that a for-profit musician should be venerated and maintained on the same level of holy saints, the display of saints in European countries isn't free either — they're paid for by the Catholic Church, who don't receive any government or tax benefits and thus maintain (and profit off of) this practice out of pocket. | |
