    Who is Nobody?

    The Good: The opening of the story was very intriguing. I love how Tomasi and Gleason pay homage to Batman: Year One by having Bruce in Thomas Wayne's study waiting for an epiphany. Bruce now celebrating his parents life instead of their death is a good concept.

    The Bad: I don't like Damian's disrespect for his Grandparents and Bruce. The poles were very lame entrance to the batcave. I think Tomasi having Batman now celebrate their life and not their death is iffy, its a great concept, but I don't think Bruce would throw away the zorro artifact, it's one of the only things he has from his dad. I think the sewer car being stolen is pretty far fetched as well. The hooded woman was not subtle at all in this issue.

    Verdict: The artwork is great, I really want to see were Peter Tomasi wants to take Bruce in this series, I want to see what else he can add to the tapestry.

      Damian needs a time out! 0

      Batman and Robin #1Hey everyone! So before I start writing about the story I just want to say one thing, if I was Bruce I would have belted Damian across the face for what he said to me! I mean come on Damian is a cold heart son of a bitch but when you talk about your father's dead parents in a fairly irreverent way NOW THAT'S JUST MESSED UP. Anyway now that I look like a child abuser, this was a very basic issue for a first. We get to see how Bruce is with Damian, and the two don't really mesh ...
