Description

Once again battling evil with his son Damian Wayne, a.k.a.

At the same time, the son of Batman must prove to his father as well as the previous mantle-holders that he is worthy of the honor to be called Robin! Collects Batman and Robin #0-14.

Reviews

"Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason are knocking it out issue after issue." -Wired.com "Powerful effects and sharp characterization." -Publishers Weekly "Watching [Robin] struggle to reconcile his mother's cold-blooded anger with his father's compassion and nobility (and not a little outright arrogance from both sides of the family tree) has been one of the highlights of the comics reading experience in recent years." -Maxim "This is the kind of Batman story I like to read: an actual mystery with an emotional hook." -The Onion/ A.V. Club "The storytelling is crisp, punchy and clean-in both words and art-even when they both get pretty dark. I think that's what I loved most about this book, the way the two complimented each other so well." -Time Out Chicago "Rock solid." -IGN
