Batman and Robin, Vol. 6: The Hunt for Robin
by Peter J. Tomasi
Almost there. ROBIN COME BACK TO US!
It's not that I don't enjoy Batman (and friends) but the best part of Batman and Robin has always been Robin's relationship with his father. It's not simple, it's complicated, and makes for some amazing scenes between the two characters. Now that Robin is dead (for now) it's hard to really get into solo Batman for this run. However, this volume isn't completely lost on me. We have Batman chasing Ra to get his son's body back after good old grandpa takes it. Then the Justice League comes into play and Batman has to make a huge decision that will alter the future of all our heroes (but mostly Batman).
Good: The parts with the Justice League and Batman is actually pretty effective. Love watching them Banter but more so trying to help a friend. A particularly good scene with Superman and Batman is well done. The best scene is the end with the group of the Batfamily around. Dick's scene with Bruce is even better than expected and hits home.
Bad: The art can be wonky sometimes. Mostly because of people's hair. Also the first two issues weren't all that interesting. I get they were going for Batman chasing his teacher but it wasn't all that gripping and Aquaman and Wonder Woman weren't all that interesting here either.
It gets better as I go and ends really strong but it's still not GREAT like volume 1-4 were. However, Robin is on the cover of the next volume, and I am fucking ready! Let's gooooo!
