Grant Morrison is a comic book author and is responsible for Batman: RIP, The Filth, the metafiction-palooza of Animal Man, The Invisibles, Xorn/Magneto blowing up New York, and Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth. He's sort of like Alan Moore, only not.
Strengths: Wildly imaginative, densely intellectual, fetishy, and really really occult. He claims that the character King Mob in The Invisibles was a sigil, a magical symbol that manifests spells, and that the things that happened to the character would happen to him shortly afterward.
Major Weakness: He's crazy, and his stories are often disjointed, nonsensical, and rife with semi-important plot points happening off-panel that are explained in asides afterward.
Rating: Who put this treacle in my hat that's actually a microcosm of our own universe?% (73%)

Grant Morrison is a comic book writer for whom, no matter how bad/incomprehensible any book he's written may have been, I will always drop $3-4 for an issue no matter what. I mean, Final Crisis? I still don't know if Batman's dead and it's been like 5 months (spoilers).
I don't know what a lot of these words mean, but it certainly sounds awesome.
Its pretty clear Batman isn't dead. You saw him at the end of Final Crisis.
