Solid ending to a fun series..never got bored of wolvie going against a predator but didn't feel like I had to worry either.
I'm not a huge fan of how Spidey is so a-okay with Punisher just shooting people. Only asking him once if he had to ... da fuck? But other than that the Mary Jane stuff was good and Punisher was written fun here.
A okay ending to a two part team up. Punisher was shoved into every title because of how popular he became so he was in and out super quick but the stuff with Venom seems interesting. A 3 out of 5.
Venom is actually quite fun in this issue. The second portion is a really fun fight. The first half is okayish with a meh plant villain.
New Reviews: Def sucks that Dick and Damien couldn't stay Batman and robin for a least a couple of years. However, this was a fun ending. The Joker being a surprise villain/helper was a lot of fun too. I do agree the art suffers here or there though in this volume.
Old Review: Can I just go on record in saying I wish Dick got to be Batman another 2 years. He was great.
Now let's talk goods and bads. The good begins with some great fight scenes done in here, love the back and forth between Damien and Joker, I really dug the Joker in general here, and watching a certain someone return was fun.
The flipside to the bads are two major things. The art and pacing. So the art is darker, weird faces, and just not nearly as fun looking as the last two volumes. Also the pacing seem to go slow for a moment, lightspeed the next, things felt like they were skipping chunks of informaiton, and a day went by in two pages. I just wasn't enjoying the pacing all too much. Also the last issue is exciting but feels like a pitch more than a solid conclusion to Batman and Robin.
Overall it's a enjoyable volume, like 2, but not nearly as fun as the first volume for me. Next up, black mirror!

Somewhere between a 3 and 4. Depending which art. It starts off extremely strong, one of the best Batman and Robin stories IMO. The middle suffers some but still it's a lot of fun to get into the heart of a team like Damien and Dick. Basically two brothers, even if not blood related, trying to fill the roles they were given and chosen. The ending is also great and Joker becomes something different but just as special. I will say the Bruce Wayne returns stuff though is still extremely weak and fucking stupid TBH. But everything else is worth a read!
Venom is so goddamn goofy you gotta love him here. Some really great stuff with MJ and Peter too. Very good issue.
A solid issue pushing towards the finale of Phillip Kennedy's great run. This issue basically had the villain make her move, and also show who she really was. It was a nice reveal, one I never expected. However, it did feel like it went by a little to slow at time to stretch things out.

Another building block issue. The finale is actually in the annual I'm about to read but this is still solid. Basically someone took Supes daughter, he isn't happy, and goes to the good old Hellblazer for help. There's a really sweet scene with Kara and shows why I usually like her so much.
A fine if predictable ending to Phillip otherwise great run. I felt these last 3 issues didn't live up to the rest of the series, which is a shame. However, Phillip got Superman so right, and his family, even if the plot itself and villain were just okay. Loved the last few pages and overall really enjoy Superman's entire family, I hope they get a lot more love.
