Batman and Robin #16

sasarai's Batman and Robin #16 - Black Mass review

Spoilers

The Good 
 
Bruce is here, no clone, no robot, this time is Bruce Wayne. Both covers were great and so was the art. 
 
The Bad 
 
There was something missing towards the end. First of all, by now the joker must have figured out who batman is, second I still feel that the story has been loose and week, I don't feel a connection between The road home, batman & robin and The Return of Bruce Wayne. I feel that they are all each going their  way and in the end they don't fully connect. I really think it was a mistake to have the road home published before Bruce officially came back, it really made his arrival here a lot less important. The ending was weird to say the least. Batman went public and global? Really? He can barely keep Gotham together and now he wants to take it to the whole world? I don't think this is going to be very interesting. BTW I think the whole deal with the demons was lame. 
 
Finally 
 
Bruce is back in the end thats all that matters.

Loved the Joker in this issue, especially how he dealt with Hurt, and I maintain that no one writes a more compelling Joker than Grant. I also loved how so many elements created during Grant's run are referenced thro...

*The Short Review* A long time of build up and finally some answers.  We finally learn what R.I.P. stands for and we finally get to see this new era of Batman that Grant Morrison is spearheading.  This was a great issue to end Grant Morrison's run on Batman and Robin.  This is also an important issue because it is the end of an era and the beginning of a new one.  *The Longer Review*With all the comics out to buy, Grant Morrison's Batman story is once of the safest investments because of its rer...
