Batman and Robin, Volume 1: Born to Kill by Guy Major, Patrick Gleason, Mick Gray, Peter J. Tomasi, Pat Brosseau, John Kalisz
4.0
In light of the events in Batman, Inc. #8, this was a really interesting read. It seems like the idea of the book was to focus on the relationship between Bruce Wayne/Batman and Damian Wayne/Robin and well, given the recent events, that's not likely going forward.
So it was interesting to read this in the midst of the events of Batman, Inc. #8, I started reading this before that news came out and I finished it after I read Batman, Inc. #8. It was interesting to see another writers take on the character and while of course Grant Morrison writes Damian Wayne better than any other writer, I thought Tomasi's version was pretty good and true to the character.
I liked how the story tied into Bruce's past and also Damian's. Nobody was an interesting villain, though if I had any criticism, it would have been nice if they would have added a little bit of mystery to his character. Though, I guess that would be more reserved for Detective Comics. Anyway, it will be interesting to see where this title goes in the future given recent events, I would have definitely been more interested in reading this on a more regular basis, had that thing not happened, but it seems kind of out of Tomasi's hands. What was written here was a very solid Batman story!
