Wednesday Comics

It's the best day of the week again, comic day.

This week i am going to talk about Batman and Robin #1.

The creative team of Morrison/Quitely are now in charge of the greatest duo of all time. The spin on it was for fans to wonder who would fill the roles coming up to the Battle for the Cowl event. With that now over the shoes of Bruce Wayne have been filled by none other, the original Robin Dick Grayson. The role of Robin is a tricky one, it is Bruce Wayne's love child Damian. For those who didn't know, Bruce Wayne actually has a child that isn't just his ward or adpoted child. DC Comics decided to make a story called "Batman : Son of the Demon" a reality. Damian has been trained his whole life by his mother Talia and her league of assasins, which is problem enough.

Time will tell if both Dick and Damian fill their new roles well as the Dynamic Duo. They stand to be a more upbeat version of the tandom, with Dick never being the hardass that Bruce was, but then again Damian is more of a no nonsense type of person.

The first issue is very good and introduces a new villain named Pyg, and there is a sneak peek in the back of the issue of things to come. After Batman RIP and Final Crisis i had lost all hope in Grant Morrison, this may have swung me back in his favor for the time being.

I recommend this title, as the writing and art are both very good Did i mention there is a new flying Batmobile! How cool is that.
