Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Following Bruce Wayne's reported demise, this Grand Guignol miniseries shows the competition to fill his role. Dick Grayson, the original Robin, has established a separate crime-fighting identity as Nightwing, but now has donned the iconic cape and mask of Batman. Partnered with bratty, impatient 10-year-old Damian (son of the original Wayne), he wants to modernize Batman's equipment but maintain his high principles. Dick's successor as Robin, Jason Todd, now calls himself the Red Hood and believes that the way to reduce crime is to kill criminals as dramatically as possible. Unfortunately, the Red Hood's violent tactics bring reprisals in the form of the Flamingo, an incredibly vicious South American assassin who enjoys skinning and eating the faces of beautiful young women. Morrison's scripts use this dark material effectively, and the art—first by Quitely, then by a team of three—is dazzling. In this largely self-contained episode, Morrison expertly retools DC's old superhero machinery. When combined with Quitely, it nearly reaches the heights of the duo's previous All-Star Superman.

From Booklist

Recent issues of the comic book Batman have portrayed momentous developments, indeed. Bruce Wayne is dead, and erstwhile Robin Dick Grayson has replaced him as Batman. The new Robin is arrogant, 10-year-old upstart Damian, who’s both Bruce’s son and archvillain Ra’s al Ghul’s grandson. Morrison charts the new team’s first missions, as Grayson strives to guide headstrong Damian while tackling foes old (the Penguin) and new (Professor Pyg and his Circus of Strange). Complications arise from the reappearance of the Red Hood—another former Robin, Jason Todd, who battles crime more brutally than the new Dynamic Duo. In the first three of the six issues collected here, Morrison is joined by artist Frank Quitely, his collaborator on All-Star Superman. Their efforts here don’t reach the sublimity of that landmark work; unlike their extra-canonical Superman tales, these stories are restricted by the characters’ established continuity, and Quitely’s vivid visuals are less appropriate for the Dark Knight’s moody atmosphere. Still, these are the most accomplished, enjoyable printed Batman stories in many a year. --Gordon Flagg

A great start to the series with iconic character replacements admirably filling in.
Here I was, appalled by the travesty that is Final Crisis but just a few short months later (August 2009 vs March 2009 for Final Crisis issue 7) Grant Morrison delivers a strong beginning to the new Batman and Robin ongoing series. With Bruce Wayne dead and gone (actually lost at the beginning of time) Dick Grayson is there to fill his Batshoes with that annoying brat Damien as Robin. I admit I don't like Damien's character, it reeks too much of manga fanservice to me but Dick is my favorite. They clearly don't like each other and Robin even goes off on his own to get his ass thoroughly whooped later on but they have a duty of the mantle and they grudgingly accept the new status quo for the time being.First three issues detail the first appearance of Professor Pyg and his Dollotrons and this character is good enough to periodically resurface here and there in the continuity and videogames. These are drawn by Frank Quitely who I'm not a big fan of but he gets the job done. However, I'm much more excited about the next story arc where we see the return of the Red Hood and his new sidekick Scarlet. These have excellent art by Philip Tan (who I coincidentally just praised for his fresh work in Marvel's Black Order) and he pulls out all the stops to make it shine. Gorgeous action and badass imagery all around.There's also some overarching plot thrown in - the mysterious dominoes that hint at the manipulator behind the scenes and I'm eager to read more to see where it goes. Morrison's patent unintelligibility is kept on a tight leash here so this is definitely a recommend for any action comics lover out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Awesome. Dick Grayson is an amazing Batman.

Morrison continues to develop his Gotham without a Bruce story arc, and he delivers brilliantly. This volume re-unites the writer and artist from All Star Superman and the book is absolutely superb on several levels. Frank Quitely manages to capture the mood and symbolism of the narrative with his illustrating in a way that delivers the story in a tight, neat presentation.

The story follows the new Batman and Robin (Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne) as they try to restore order to Gotham in Bruce's absence. Batman's long absence from the streets has started a crime wave and several pretenders are still lurking trying to claim the mantle for themselves. Grayson does his best to play the role, yet still be himself. He moves the operation out of Wayne manor, and even steps in for Bruce in his affairs at Waynetech. Meanwhile, Damian is struggling to deal with his own identity - brash, overconfident, and impatient, he finds himself getting into all sorts of trouble as he tries to figure out how to work in unison with Grayson, and Grayson in turn finds himself cast in the role of reluctant mentor and fill-in-father for a kid who has zero respect for his authority and quite frankly thinks sometimes he can kill him and seize the legacy of his father for himself.

Where it delivers: Morrison captures the struggles and conflicts between Grayson and Damian all too well, realistic, poignant, and totally believable. You find yourself rooting for the two to succeed, and when the ruse begins to pay off and the thugs of Gotham really do start to believe that the real Batman and Robin are back, you feel like giving Grayson a slap on the back. It also succeeds in the creation of a new villain for the new duo to be locked in mortal struggle against instead of the traditional Arkham cadre: Pyg, who Morrison succeeds in making the Joker's rival in creepiness. There are great little panels as well, when the new duo meet Gordon the first time and you can tell that Gordon just knows. He knows Batman's voice is off, but still familiar (recollecting times in the past when he may have heard Grayson's voice as a child).

There's a lot of potential here. Will Batman's traditional nemeses figure it out? Or will their psychoses prevent the from noticing? Has Grayson spent enough time under Bruce to pull off the act? I want more! I can't help but think the Joker will not be fooled...

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it! (slight spoilers)
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2010

If you didn't like Batman RIP or Final Crisis because you thought they were all over the place and confusing, don't worry, this is much more straightforward and fun.

You can tell right away from the first few pages of Batman and Reborn two things. Firstly, it's evident what a master Frank Quitely is at what he does. I loved the upbeat style, he used the onomatopoeia made infamous from the 1960s Batman TV show but did it in a way where it blended in with the art and didn't look silly. On top of that, his art flows seamlessly, that chase sequence in the first scene was done beautifully, as was the fight at Gotham City HQ. It's rare you see this from artists on a superhero book. The dynamic art alone would have justified the purchase...

Secondly, it's clear in the first few pages the fun and whacky tone Morrison is taking with Batman and Robin. In the first scene, there's circus freaks including a Mr. Toad who have just committed a drug deal and are getting chased by Batman and Robin (who are now Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne) in a new Batmobile that flies and hovers. It brought me back to early in his Batman run with the crazy showdown with the Joker who was kidnapping schoolchildren on a rooftop only to be shot by a imposter Batman.

There's funny exchanges between Dick and Damian, and Damian's finally starting to grow on me. He's arrogant and even demands for the duo to be called Robin and Batman, but when you realize he's ten years old and just how talented how he is, his arrogance is justified. By the time he gets a pounding later on in the book, you actually feel sorry for the little bugger. The new dynamic feels fresh and they've even moved their HQ from the Batcave in Wayne Manor to the basement in Wayne Tower.

The main villain in the first story is Professor Pyg and he's demented. (Interesting to note that he actually appeared in Morrison's future story in Batman #666, along with many other villains in this arc). He turns everybody into "Dollotrons", turning them into his slaves and making them all look like Raggedy Ann. He reminds me a little of Jigsaw from the Saw movies, except he's also into art and music. He's a strange welcome addition to the rogue's gallery. The confrontation with him is at an amusement park, and there's even a Killing Joke reference made by Gordon.

I thought the second story would go down in quality due to the art shifting over to Philip Tan but I was wrong. Philip Tan draws a good Gotham City and his Batman's better than Quitely's. His dark and street level art was a nice contrast to Quitely bright and superhero-y art in the first arc.

The story in the second arc is the Red Hood (Jason Todd) is back. He used to be the second Robin but was killed by the Joker, only to be brought back, have a mad-on for Bruce not getting revenge for him and then DC stumbled with his character in the horror that was known as Countdown. Morrison makes him interesting again and gives him a redesign that gives a nod to the original Red Hood. He's now decided he is going to go back to being a murdering vigilante who will try to make Batman obsolete. He takes his own sidekick in Scarlet, a girl who was horrifically scarred in the last arc by Professor Pyg.

There's a neat meta nod to Jason Todd's death at the hands of a telephone vote when he captures Batman and Robin. The Red Hood's vigilantism eventually reaches to far and he kills too many Gotham City crime figures, so a character named the Flamingo is sent after him. The Flamingo is pretty much a remorseless and unstoppable assassin who was brain damaged into doing nothing but kill, yet he still wears a pink stylish costume. There's a confrontation between all three parties in the end.

I loved this, it was beautifully drawn and written. I highly recommend it, I think it washes away the stench that was Batman RIP.

Bruce Wayne has sacrificed himself to end the Final Crisis. Dick Grayson assumes the mantle of Batman and Damian Wayne becomes his Robin. Although their styles clash, they must save Gotham from Professor Pyg and his insane schemes for the citizens of Gotham. However, stopping Pyg draws the wrath of the Red Hood.

It must be difficult to restart a series after the loss of the protagonist, but Morrison seems to have effortlessly set up the inevitable succession of Grayson. The confidence of this relaunch, together with the redesign of the graphics makes this book an exciting prospect.
