They were both briefly in batman #666, and Grant brings them into the spotlight here. Onto the villains, Proffessor Pyg and the Flamingo.

But what took me by surprise was that he even gets a kind of arc in the book to do with responsibilty, won’t spoil anything but his violent nature leads him into making a mistake that later costs him, and he seems to learn from it. I always laugh when he refers to Alfred as “Pennyworth”. The way he addresses people around him, his brutal honesty and his Bruce Wayne level arrogance just have you either laughing or staring with awe whenever he speaks. Alfred also shines, offering advice and help whenever Dick is struggling with his new burden, but by far the best character here is Damian. They have awesome chemistry, and Batman actually feels noticably different here to how Bruce used to be, and that’s inportant. It’s got Morrison’s usual witty and character driven dialogue, and his characterisations of Dick and Damian are superb. Onto the actual review, firstly, the writing is great. It collects the first 6 issues of Grant Morrison’s Batman and Robin series and it’s awesome.īefore getting into the review, it’s worth reading the books that precede this one, Batman & son, black glove, rip, battle for the cowl, they’re all great stories themselves and you’l need to reed them to understand why certain things are happening here. Wow, I was very surprised by how much of a banger this book was.
