On the very first page, we are greeted by this comment from Suren Darga.  And I have to admit, it made me laugh pretty hard.  Was this meant as a meta-comment by Ray Fawkes, or am I simply reading my own feelings into it?  I'm not sure, but either way, I don't understand why this…

Robin, Batman, Talia, and Maya in a race against time to stop Suren Darga from literally ending the world.  Specifics aside, this is a story we have all seen/read a thousand times over.  A group of heroes coming together in spite of their differences to save the world from a calamity it didn't even know…

Batman is in this comic! Opening to the first page and seeing Batman and Flash took me completely by surprise.  Usually when a major character appears in another character's comic, DC likes to shout it from the mountain tops.  But this time, there was no mention at all in the solicits.  Either they were actually…

Come June, DC will be launching their newest campaign..."Rebirth".  As it stands now, "Son of Batman" will not be surviving this transitional period.  Given that the book will not be carrying forward past issue #12, it makes me wonder just how relevant this final story arc could truly be.  After all, if they had somewhere…

The Boy Wonder is back in town! This issue was a real pleasant surprise.  Last month, it was indicated that Damian wasn't finished returning stolen artifacts to their rightful owners.  While I enjoyed the opening salvo that Son of Batman had to offer, it seemed to me that the story arc had wrapped up and…

My initial knee jerk reaction to this story was one of slight annoyance.  Are we seriously going to have Alfred and Damian together and not have them discuss Bruce?  Had a Batman-News commenter not filled me in on the behind-the-scenes workings for this particular issue, you'd be reading a mini-rant right about now.  It turns…

The Robins square off against the Talons while Grayson makes his way to the roost of The Court of Owls!  That actually sounds a lot more exciting than it turned out to be... For those of you not reading any of the other Bat-titles and only reading Robin: Son of Batman, you probably opened this…

I’m pinch-hitting to catch us up for Robin: Son of Batman, so I feel I have to make a few confessions up front in the interest of full disclosure: But it’s okay: I not only read through this book in a quick and easy sweep, but I actually mostly enjoyed it. The Whys and Wherefores…

Ever since flying the coop and returning to his original nest, Robin as been on a personal journey figuratively and literally to right the wrongs of his past. There's been a stark contrast between the child he once was to the young man that he's becoming. However, his new partner, Nobody II, proves that dealing…

Patrick Gleason delves deeper into the lore of Damian Wayne, the biological son of Batman, and heir to the Bat-throne. At least that's how he would see it. The pompous preteen progresses on his journey to right the wrongs of his past with the help of an unlikely sidekick, Maya Ducard, the daughter of an…

Batman and Robin was one of my favorite titles and was one of the main reasons I got into monthlies. I was heavily invested in Grant Morrison's entire Batman run and stuck with B&R even after the change from Morrison to Tomasi and Dick to Bruce. Batman and Robin was a colorful exploration of the relationship between…
