I think Batman actually died in Final Crisis, a big mega-crossover that hasn't arrived from the library yet, but this dovetails nicely with the end of Batman RIP - ex-Robin Dick Grayson and current Robin and Bruce Wayne's son by a queen of assassins Damian Wayne take on the mantle of Batman and Robin, and it is not a easy ride. Grayson is unsure of himself and Damian's a bit of a git. Nonetheless, this turns into a brilliantly readable pairing, replacing the father-son dynamic with a older/younger sibling one to fantastic effect. This volume is still early days in the relationship, but it's delightfully sparky and snarky and their villains are right monsters like Mr Pyg, or challenges to their, er, more ethical approach to vigilantism, such as Red Hood and his sidekick Scarlet, who murder criminals with aplomb. It all looks amazing, particularly the cartoony realism of Frank Quitely, and is merely the opening salvo in a long and enjoyable saga.
