    Going to take the middle ground as this book starting with issue 1 is the first Batman and really the first DC comic I have every purchased. ( i have read 5 essential batman trades though )

    I like Dick Grayson, and I like Damian, well, I don’t like Damian yet, I do appreciate the relationship though. I just want to remind everyone that some of the best coming of age stories start with unlikable characters.

    This should be good, though, Morrison and Quitely have never disappointed. I haven’t read it yet, obviously, but anything they do together is always a strong contender for POW.

    Pretty neat cover too.

    @Reform: As everyone has said, Damian is a spoiled brat at the moment. Presumably, one of the storylines that will run through this new era of Batman is Damian becoming a better person. That will be one of the stories to tell. Characters have to grow and change as they start in one place and end up in another.

    Everyone says Damian is a dick, and while he is a bit bratty….I thought he acted pretty normal in the first issue. If we’re talking about dicks, go to Morrison’s first introduction of Damien. THAT’s a dickish and selfish child.

    Here Damian is still a bit bratty but seems to get that he’s got a legacy to fulfill. Or maybe that’ll be the overall message when this series is over.

  21. flapjaxx says:

    In a Morrison interview from about 2 months ago he said that Quitely really did a fantastic job on issue two, that in issue two Quitely really starts to perfect the slightly new style he started doing in issue one. So, I’m looking forward to that.

    It is my understanding that Batman & Robin is going to tie into Batman #666 (I believe that is from a Morrison interview. It’s mentioned here: http://comics.ign.com/articles/986/986031p1.html).  If so, this is as much a tale of Damian’s evolution from douche to dynamite (alliteration’s draw was too strong for me) as it is a tale of Dick’s struggle to fulfill his destiny.

    I don’t know what you guys are talking about.  Damien is the coolest one out of the group.  For some reason, Tim Drake and Dick Grayson both seem like a couple of cornballs.  Morrison throw Damien in there to make it more obvious.  I’ve read Morrison’s run on Batman since it started and I think Damien actually got me into it more. 

     …but I suppose if I were a person who has been reading Batman regularly for a hell of a lot longer, I could see why Damien is a real prick so IDK

    Of course Damian is a little douche and is intentionally being wriitten that way. Sometimes I just wanna reach into the book choke him silly. But, I think it adds to the enjoyment of the book and as time goes on and he sees Dick kickin ass and what-not, he’ll come around.

  26. Avatar photo supertrackmonkey says:
    June 29, 2009 at 8:47 pm

    I think once of the larger reason for people not liking Damien is because people love Tim Drake Wayne. And Damien has replaced Tim as Robin. So there is some backlash to Damien as Robin. This isn’t the only reason people don’t like Damien, it’s just one part of it.

    I like how, so far, the backgrounds just have a very bright color to it. First issue had a bright yellow background; here it’s a bright blue background.

    It sets the tone for the nightlight of Gotham but also makes Batman look so sharp.

  35. Avatar photo 0and18 says:

    Agreed Robby.  Dick n Tim are kinda uptight and got a bit of Silver Agey feel at times.  Though Tim less so because sometime he is full of teenage angst.  Damian is just so unlike them it makes great interplay with he and Tim and he and Dick.   I love how he treats Alfred like a servant, I love how he even expresses how lame Dick and Tim can be. 

    @ Conor:  You are right you could mine some awesome stories from that.

    I’ve never minded Damien.  Considering his background and who his mother is, I’m not really sure why people get so annoyed by him.  I think I’d be a spoiled little bitch if my grandfather was Ras.  He was trained by a group of deadly assassins and has the financial means of the Wayne family.  Wouldn’t you guys, at least, be a little spoiled if you were in his shoes?

    I’m still surprised that of all the books that could showcase (to me) the quality of a good DC book, this would be one of them (the others being Detective and Flash Rebirth). Morrison impressed me with the first issue, and when combined with the quality of Detective Comics 854 convinced me that DC is doing something special with the Bat-books. I’m glad I never completely dismissed them as others have.

The pages between Dick and Alfred were definitely the best of the book so far. I’m also loving the whole Circus of Strange idea.

    It’s amazing to me that people still want Bruce after all these sweet fucking comics have come out.  Let’s move on to newer, more creative horizons.  I like that the transition is going to be difficult for Dick.  It should be.  He has big shoes to fill, and new oppurtunities to adapt the Batman model to himself and his personality.  I also don’t understand why people are so bitchy about Damien.  I love characters that I hate.  I think it’s a challenge to be empathetic to someone that’s the exact opposite of you.  I think Conor’s right.  His biggest challenge will be growing into a responsible and compassionate hero with all of the integrity that the monicker of ‘Robin’ provides.  Things have changed for the better and will continue to go that way, hopefully.

    Bruce is still around in Batman Confidential (which just started a new arc) and Superman Batman (which is about to start a new one too).  It’s not like anybody has to dig deep to get their Bruce Wayne fix or anything.  Kevin Smith is about to put out a new Bruce story too.  The world is far from over.

    Irredeemable #4 would’ve probably been on my pull list if I had read #2 or #3 yet.  I can’t find #2 at any of my local shops so it looks like I’m just gonna have to wait another month for the trade.  Oh well, by then I’ll be all caught up on that AND The Boys so it is all good in the hood.

    I know Chuck D told you not to, but believe the hype! This is near perfect comic booking: well paced, fun, gorgeous, and leaves you needing more. Morrison is clearly setting up something big, but it never feels confusing or overly clever. Quietly’s art does as much heavy-lifting: just the postures of Dick and Alfred on the first page sets up their discussion at the end of the issue. Even the action scenes tell you this is a different Batman: all acrobatic grace and poise. Love it. 5/5.

    I’m pretty amazed by the 90% POW by the iFanbase, but I guess you have to take a few things into account:

    – The Morrisonites (who probably had this as POW before they read it).

    -The people who think "If Conor & everyone else picked it, if I don’t pick it — I’m wrong!"

    -But I think the main reason is that with such a massive pull number, that’s more people to read it & more chance of being their POW.

    Anyways … I liked the issue, don’t get me wrong, I thought it was pretty good, but as usual I am baffled by the general super-high praise some books get on this site. It’s good to see a G-Mo "Batman" book that is weird/quirky but still readable!

  81. flapjaxx says:
    July 3, 2009 at 6:40 am

    ^Don’t forget the fact that this could probably have been over 90% if you take into account:

    – The people who hate Morrison so much that they slag him off every chance they get even when they "liked" the book.

    -The people who think "If Conor & everyone else picked it, I have to make a big deal of my NOT picking it so I can look like a ‘maverick’."

    -But I think the main reason other people didn’t pick it is that there are a lot of other books out there and a lot of other people with other opinions. There’s also room for people who think this issue is really "weird/quirky", just like there’s room for people who think Beyonce and Britney Spears are examples of really "funky" singers. And there’s still room for people who insist that G-Mo’s Batman is "unreadable", just like there’s room for people who think hiphop isn’t real music. It’s all good, and you’re onlyshortchanging yourself.

    I only had two other books this week, that’s mainly why I picked this as PotW, even though I’d only give it a 4.

    GLC was rushed and was a pain to read. Deadpool: Merc With a Mouth was a decent first issue and nothing more. Finally USA Comics was a great homage to Destroyer, but the art ruined some of the aspects of making it a great comic to a good comic.

    You dont have to believe me cause I am such a Morrison fanboy. But on a whole level of writing and art, this was the best book of the week.

    I wouldn’t go out of my way to call myself a Morrison Fanboy, but if he keeps this up I just might. I didn’t like R.I.P. until the very end, but I loved All-Star Superman and so far Batman and Robin is kicking some solid ass. However, I still have 2 books this week that I rated higher. Perhaps I’m just more easily pleased.

    That said, pulls don’t always award a POTW. Otherwise, New Avengers would have alot more picks to match the pulls.

    @WadeWilson: I wouldn’t even sweat it, man.  Anybody who has to insult somebody instead of just disagreeing with them on a internet messageboard is a person you should just pity for having too much time on their hands and forget about.  It’s even worse with the Microsoft FANboys on IGN dot com that are always to busy insulting the Sony people that don’t wanna be bothered with it because they would rather be playing their video games instead of arguing about them.  I just let it rollover me.  You know none of those punks would ever say anything to you in public in front of your girl or nuffin, if they aren’t too scared to even come near you.

    …but anyway, LOL.  Batman & Robin #2 would’ve been my pick if it hadn’t been for Final Crisis Aftermath RUN! #3 which I just found to be a lil bit more fun.  I think the real reason so many people are backing this one up is because everybody just wants to put R.I.P, Final Crisis, Battle For The Cowl behind them and just read some fun stories regardless if the status quo has changed for the better or not.  Having Bruce Wayne temporarily die doesn’t bother me much even though I barely understood Final Crisis much so I just wanna get past all that and read some regular Bat-stories whether Grayson is the new Bat or not, and it looks like the Circus Of The Strange was just the place to start out with it.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m just as interested in seeing what Firefly and this new Abuse dude are up to in Streets Of Gotham too.  The only one I don’t really give a sh!t about is Winick’s new Batman stuff so far.  I’m just not excited about Two Face or The Penguin right now, especially after reading Battle For The Cowl a whole one time!  I’ll still buy it and read it though, just because it’s Batman, Wayne or Grayson, it’s still Batman when he puts the cowl on.

    I guess I just don’t get it. I absolutely hated this just like the last issue.

    If you can’t discuss something without resorting to personally attacking/insulting people then please don’t comment. Thanks.

    OK … so indirect passive-aggressive bitch type insults are fine, but talking strait to defend yourself will get your posts deleted. Got it.

    I want to say Batman Confidential 31 is a good issue like this and when you read them together, amazing pure Batman week for me.

    I dug this book, but not 5 stars in my book. A solid 4 stars though.

    I wasn’t a big fan of the first issue (nothing special in my opinion), but this was a very well done issue.  I still have some worries on where this could go but I also see the possibilities of a great story (just as long as Damian doesn’t remain Jason Todd-ish for the whole thing–maybe the beating will help matters like in Robin Year One).  And, no; the sooner Bruce is back, the happier I’ll be but at least it’s starting to look like a good story in the meantime.
