![]() ![]() This is a definite treat for comic book fans. ![]() From the haggard look of Commissioner Gordon to the freakish faces of the circus folk terrorizing Gotham in the first issue, Quitely creates panels that wonderfully bring Morrison’s script to life. Quitely’s artwork keeps up with Morrison’s story. Don’t worry if you’re not a die-hard Batman fan - you might get a bit confused by character references, but it’s nothing a quick Wikipedia search can’t cure. From page one, the comic hits the ground running, bringing together plotlines from previous series. This applies to the ‘Batman Reborn’ collection - it’s gritty, it’s raw but it is oh so good. If you’re a comics fan, you’re probably familiar with Morrison’s work and know that his stories are not for the faint of heart. Together this pair attempts to make the world believe that Batman is alive and well (and Bruce Wayne is just out of town indefinitely). Damian Wayne, Bruce’s estranged 10-year-old son who was raised by assassins, has put on the Robin outfit. Dick Grayson, the original Robin, has set aside his Nightwing costume and donned the Dark Knight’s cowl. ![]() The Caped Crusader is MIA (after an adventure in another Morrison series ended poorly) and presumed dead. That’s the very basic premise of the new Batman & Robin series, written by Grant Morrison and drawn by Frank Quitely. Batman is dead? I didn’t even know he was sick! ![]()
