Batman and Robin #1

- Writer: Joshua Williamson
- Artist: Simone Di Meo
The Dynamic Duo launch into a new era with Batman and Robin #1 featuring a more lighthearted pairing that had me confused for several pages as to just who was wearing Robin’s mask. Turns out it is Damian, just a far less grumpy and murderous one that fans are likely to recognize.

While I enjoyed the first two issues of this title, there wasn’t enough there to keep my interest long term. However, after reading Batman • Superman – World’s Finest #12 I think I may have given up on it prematurely.
