If it's crap... We'll tell you
Batman and Robin
A thread for everyones favorite dynamic duo... Dick Grayson and Damien Wayne?!
Three issues into the book and I have to say its been fucking awesome so far with signs only pointing to it getting better. As much as I liked Morrisons run on Batman this is so much more fun and accessible. This new villain Professor Pyg is completely out his fucking gourd in a freaky way. Also the cliffhanger at the end of the issue with the new self professed scourge of the underworld, Red Hood, was awesome and has me really excited for the next arc. Its gonna be tough for Philip Tans artwork to live up to Quitelys but I have no doubt he will do well and the story will kick ass. It seems like Damien has learned to respect Dick more by the end of this story.
What has everyone else been thinking about the series?

Jason Todd confirmed as the Red Hood. Awesome. I was actually starting to get worried by some of the speculation I had seen. The Joker? I know Morrison likes to throw curve balls but c'mon.

Is it just me or does this look more and more like Frank Miller's All-Star Batman?

I was just thrown off by the cover, it reminded me of All-Star batman, the issue wasn't great but i didn't hate it.

Read issue 5. Good, not great. Tans art doesn't do anything for me. The story is well written but surprisingly grounded for a Morrison Batman story. This might be a plus for some people but again, I am waiting for some more off the wall shit. I like Jason Todds characterization here and like the red hair plucked from before Crisis on Infinite Earths. One thing I really liked about this issue though is the new villain Flamingo is as fucked up as the last villain introduced Pyg.
Oberon Sexton could possibly be the Joker as his entire body is covered up.
Also apparently the next arc has something to do with Blackest Night so issue 7 can't come out til after Blackest Night 6.
