    Batman & Robin #9

    Batman has enough on his plate so it’s up to Damian to save a target on the Court’s hit list.

    The Good:

    I know Scott Snyder is on top as far as Batman titles go, but Batman & Robin is strikingly good. Damian is told to go and save Gotham’s biggest military leader, and he gets right to it without argument. It is nice to see his instantaneous obedience when hearing the urgency in Alfred’s voice. So because Damian is on his own in this issue, we get to see him face-off against a Talon all by himself. Some might ask if Damian can actually go toe-to-toe with a Talon and I believe that he absolutely can. This issue really shows his combined trainings with Batman and the League of Assassins, and the fight is just incredible. Damian shows great authority in this issue and if you’re not on board with him being a good character, this issue might change your mind.

    Lee Garbett does a superb job of filling in for Patrick Gleason with the pencils, there are a lot of action sequences in this issue and Garbett really nails it.

    The Bad:

    My only complaint for this issue is during an action scene where one of the soldiers takes up two pistols to use instead of using both hands on one pistol and taking well-aimed shots like I think a soldier would normally do. But that is just me trying to find something wrong with this book, it really is that good.

    The Judgement:

    I don’t believe that this title is talked about enough. There are a lot of Bat-titles out now and some aren’t very good in my opinion, but this one is just amazing. The way that Peter Tomasi writes Damian in this really leads me to believe that Robin could have a solo series, if written like he is here. I am very pleased with this book and look forward to next month’s issue!

      This cover, while awesome, created some specific expectations of this issue that weren't met. Normally, a good cover can't be taken at complete face value, but it was a bit of a downer to not see the implied sword fight. (X)Patrick Gleason doesn't provide the art for this issue, but Lee Garbett is certainly a very welcome guest artist. He captures a lot of the same style as Gleason, but has his own spark that I think would be really good for a Robin solo series. (Written by Bryan Q. Miller perha...

      This is basically a tie-in of the Night of the Owls crossover focusing on Damian Wayne - This event, involving the Batman family, is an attack of an ancient group that rules in Gotham City, consisting on an act of assassination of Gotham's prestigious and most important citiziens - As Batman is dealing with the Talons (The owls' assassins) in his manor, Alfred discovers a hit list and assign each character of the Batman family to prevent the killing (as seen in Batman # 8) - This issue is Damian...
