Frank Quitely only did the covers for these issues, but I do think Tan is a good substitute.īatman and Robin has its ups and downs, but it is still more enjoyable to me than probably 60% of Batman’s continuing run. The Flamingo is stupid and goes out like a chump for all the build-up.
I never was a big Jason Todd fan, but thankfully the dynamic between Damian and Dick does keep this volume from being bad. It is a story that stretches beyond this volume, but it just isn’t really fleshed out…but there is something fun about it. The Pyg storyline is creepy and fun, but I don’t know that I every really understood the whole plot with the gang and the dominos. Most of Morrison’s Batman run felt rather chaotic and this storyline is no different in that sense. The first story of Batman and Robin: Batman Reborn was better than the second half of the collection.
The fresh idea of Dick Grayson actually having to give up his Nightwing persona to finally become Batman was almost like an Elseworlds storyline…plus, you get the fun of the psychotic Damian! Batman and Robin falls into the more inspiring category. Some of Grant Morrison’s Batman was awful and some was inspiring. The story was collected in a standard edition and a deluxe edition. The collection features the three issue “Batman Reborn” storyline ( Batman and Robin (1) #1-3) with art by Frank Quitely and “Revenge of the Red Hood” ( Batman and Robin (1) #4-6) with art by Philip Tan. Written by Grant Morrison and spinning out of Final Crisis, Batman and Robin 1: Batman Reborn is the story of the substitute Batman while Bruce Wayne is “dead”. With the return of Jason Todd as the Red Hood, Dick faces his replacement and Robin confronts his predecessor. With the arrival of a new enemy named Pyg, Batman and Robin discover that a new crime syndicate is making is move in Gotham. Dick finds himself burned with the mantle of Batman and fighting off the eager Damian to keep the cowl. Batman is dead…and Dick Grayson and Damian have to pick up the pieces. Reprints Batman and Robin (1) #1-6 (August 2009-January 2010).
