Damian, the new Robin and Bruce Wayne's son, is an interesting and complex character whose motives are driven by both his powerful mother and father. Also, his interaction and acceptance by former Robin's complicates the story. ( )

I love you, Damian, you cocky little shit. The standout for me was the "war of the Robins" where Damian feels the need to prove he's better than the boys who came before him. The challenges and battles are all very true to the characters, especially Dick, who at the end simply gives Damian a trophy because he's not at all interested in the battle or the measuring. ( )

I think that this volume is the heart of the Batman and Robin title. We get to see the #0 issue with a bit of Damian as an even younger kid, and wow little Damian is super, super cute (Perhaps it has something to do with him not having any lines as a baby).

Then there’s a bit with Damian during the Owls crisis and then we get to the main story. It’s a guy who calls himself Terminus and with the help of quite a few ‘Bat-freaks’ he wants to make quite a point to Gotham and its people. And, he has a bit of a deadline as well.

I go back and forth whether or not I like the Damian character or not, and for this TPB it was about half and half. I do have to say that I liked the very end of the TPB too. ( )

Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, and Damian Wayne bickering about who's the best Robin. What's not to love? ( )
