You know it's not the real Batman that Damian is fighting and I know it's not the real Batman that Damian is fighting, so what are we doing here? I had hoped that this fake Father vs. son battle wouldn't last very long and something more surprising would happen in this issue, bu it doesn't.…

Brace yourselves. Batman & Robin is back and it's delivered some of the best visuals of the Death of the Family event so far. This series has struggled lately to tell a decent story. We had a radioactive worm monster, a giant purple guy, and two straight months of zombies and cannibal cultists. The quality…

Batman & Robin ain't what it used to be. I thoroughly enjoyed the "Born to Kill" saga featuring the villain Nobody, but it's as if this title just keeps getting worse with every issue since Nobody was defeated. I mean, this was a mess. A half-baked plot that rushes through zombies and a cannibalistic cult and then…

I had a hard time reviewing this one. Batman & Robin is not the same comic it was one year ago. The Born to Kill Saga was compelling stuff with pathos. It was a father and son story that even took the time to delve into Bruce's past, but the tone of this series has…

This fell flat with me the same way Batwing #0 did. Damian and Batwing are both characters whose origins have already been told pretty thoroughly in the past couple years and unless you're totally new to recent events in Bat-History you're going to be bored by this issue. Batman & Robin #0 is page after…

Well that was a very well drawn issue of Iron Man. Seriously though, Gleason and Gray provide some pretty fun and highly detailed imagery here and the issue is action packed. One panel of Batman and Robin ready to throw their batarangs was especially cool, but Gleason and Gray's talents are wasted on this comic.…

Well that was a quick-read. There are two stories in here that don't quite go well together and one of them definitely doesn't feel very "Batman" to me. First up is what I was really interested in: Damian's quest to one-up all former Robins. This issue opens with a surprise attack on Jason Todd that…

"Terminus: Scar of the Bat" tries to do too much when really it should have kept things simple. The idea of squeezing all the Robins into one issue and letting them interact with each other is plenty interesting enough. Hell, you even get to see Tim Drake! Remember him? He was the Robin that came…

With the bat-family fighting the undead it's game-on for everyone to be as brutal as possible. The no-kill rule has gone out the window and there's no better time to see every hero be a total badass than right now...so why hold anything back?

Calm, quiet, and absolutely stunning, "Batman & Robin" delivers a great finale to its opening 8-part arc and it's easily the best Bat-title of the week. Obviously, if you haven't been reading "Batman & Robin" you should stay away from this issue because you'll have no clue what is happening. It doesn't set up anything…

Just imagine how ridiculous this book's cover would've looked had there been only 13 knives sticking out of Batman's back and shoulders instead of 14! Seriously though, this issue is awesome. It's time to throw-down. No more flashbacks to Bruce's early days, no more student/teacher moments between Nobody and Robin, no more father and son…

It seems like there are two kinds of Batman & Robin readers, those who sit back and enjoy the book for what it's worth, and those who just want to whinge about how much they miss Grant Morrison's run. I'm having a blast with what Tomasi and Gleason are producing and the only thing that…

Once again, I feel I should apologize for not getting these reviews out sooner this week. Especially if you were waiting to read a review for Batman & Robin before you dropped $3 on it. The only problem I have with Batman & Robin #4 is that Damian names his dog something other than "Ace".…

Looks like Tomasi might have found his groove because this is probably the best Batman & Robin issue we've had since Grant Morrison left the title. I enjoyed the first one a lot, but in the last issue the characterization felt a bit off and there really wasn't a whole lot of content. We met…
