A review by stevenk
Batman and Robin, Volume 1: Born to Kill by Guy Major, Patrick Gleason, Mick Gray, Peter J. Tomasi, Pat Brosseau, John Kalisz

3.0

I received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads giveaways. Unlike the other New 52 titles from DC that I have read this one was not a reboot (other than the new Batman Costume) and was therefore a bit more confusing as a jumping on point. I hadn't read anything with Damian Wayne as Robin in it so it was a little hard to get into the character and his history with Bruce Wayne, which is half of the reason for the tension between Batman and Robin in this book. The art had a dark quality that fit well with the storyline, but had it's highs and lows, some panels were great and some were a little off. And while the violence was appropriate for the story, I won't be letting my kids read this one until they are out of elementary school (although they saw it come in the mail and really want to read it).
