That's because Frazier Irving is amazing.
I honestly didn't like the art choice for this issue. I mean, it looks good on it's own, but to me, Frazier Irving's a horror artist, and it doesn't fit with the story that Inc #0 had.

Batman, Inc continues to be very good though I have to say I didn't really like the Damien-as-Batman-in-the-future issue. It just didn't feel very Batman like. It felt like Morrison was stealing Garth Ennis' Crossed bit for the Joker virus, and there wasn't a single likable character in the issue. I know that last part was the point but I still was left feeling the issue was lacking.
Also, it had some pretty extreme violence in it. Barbara Gordon killing a baby is just TOO MUCH for a standard Batman comic. How can DC publish this, when everyone knows 13 year olds love Batman, yet they feel the need to PG-tize Hellblazer so he doesn't say fuck or see naked body parts? There are some sick bastards in the DC offices these days.

I'm not a prude either! I read and enjoy Saga as i have Walking Dead and New Deadwardians and the Watchmen and the Boys ... but those had a message, a justification, a lesson, or a meaning that made sense for the violence in story.
They didn't have Batman firing off guns at Darkseid. (I can't help but laugh)

I've been enjoying Death of the Family--I like that it's far more shorter than Court of Owls, which...I don't know if I can say was necessarily decompressed, it wasn't too padded out, but I just can't help but feel it shouldn't have been eleven issues long. I also like that Snyder's Joker is very enigmatic for someone who's so hammy and seemingly speaks only in monologue--you don't know if he really knows who everyone is, if he has known this whole time, or if he's just playing an elaborate mind-game.
As for the gore...in the actual Batman book I really don't see that much over the top gore or anything so far. The grossest stuff we got so far was Joker's face moving around when Batman punched him.
Now, the last issue of Batman & Robin, on the other hand...*shudder*
