Batman and Robin, Volume 5: The Big Burn
by Peter J. Tomasi
This is probably the weakest arc of Peter's run so far. Saying that it was still enjoyable but a little distant from what I want from my Batman and Robin series.
Now I get Robin being dead would make it a bit hard to have the dude in here but the title results to be just another Batman story. Actually, it's all about Two Face and his slow and dark tale into what he is today. Do you know Mckillen? No. Me neither. However, she royally fucked Dent in the ass. Not only did she burn his face but she killed his wife right in front of him. Pretty screwed up huh? Then when she gets out of prison two face wants her dead. Batman like "no go hoe" and the war begins. Also there's a one shot of Dick's first week working with Batman as Robin.
Good: That one shot was REALLY good. I loved watching "week one" of Robin's adventure. I also enjoyed seeing a focus on Two face as I think he is a pretty interesting character. The ending sure was screwed up too.
Bad: Mckillen family is so mobster 101 psycho I just didn't care for them. Also the way the storytelling was shown was a little off. The art sometimes also suffered from too cartoonish.
Overall this wasn't as fun or emotional as the last few. Still enjoyable and can't wait to jump into volume 6 but this was the weakspot for me.
