Batman & Robin, Vol. 4: Dark Knight vs. White Knight by Paul Cornell
5.0
This is one of my favorite volumes of Batman. I worried, like some people, that without Grant Morrison at the helm, it wouldn't be as great. It's actually really excellent.
The first storyline, "The Sum of All Her Parts," is just fine. The Absence is absolutely ridiculous though, though the idea behind her crimes is interesting.
"Dark Knight vs. White Knight" is amazing. It reminds me of Identity Crisis, but in reverse. There's a criminal seeking the family members of Arkham inmates. It really cements my love of Dick as Batman and Damien as his ornery Robin.
Finally, "The Streets Run Red" was fantastic. Maybe this is because it comes on the heels of me reading Red Hood: The Lost Days> about the intervening time after Jason Todd's death and his return, but I thought it was amazing. I'm totally on a Red Hood high right now. He's an assassin with a conscience. He's bankrupt morally, but he's absolutely likable. This is a short, but enjoyable story with Jason Todd.
