james_desantis 's review for:

4.0

New Review: Pretty much agree with everything I said prior, except I liked the Red Hood story a bit more this time around but still a bit weaker in comparison to the first amazing 3 issues. A 4 out of 5 sounds right.

Old Review: Holy Smokes Batman! A Grant Morrison Batman story I Like? Wait, no...LOVE? What in the fucking world?

Listen I don't like most of Grant's stories. I believe he took too many drugs when younger and creates "deep" stories that aren't really that "deep" but just try to be "confusing" and people think that's "deep". Kind of how people still think Man of Steel has a deeper message when in reality it just throws it in your face, and it's shit.

Anyway why is Batman and Robin good? Well for multiple reasons. We got a new team, it's Dick and Damien. We also got a new villain, who is downright fucking creepy in this. We also got great art, which is a huge plus. Then we also have a cohesive fucking story, which is a miracle for Morrison.

So why not a 5? Well the Red Hood storyline got a little silly at times and Scarlet seems like a weird waste of a character. Still, that's about the only negative, that the Red Hood storyline wasn't that great.

The rest was really fun, exciting, and page turning awesomeness. Hope the rest of the run is as good.
