It’s so formulaic and generic there’s nothing to hold the interest, particularly if you’ve read a fair amount of superhero comics and have seen these scenarios play out a thousand times before. They encounter some things to fight and beat them.

If you enjoy that format, you’ll like this book too but for me this volume felt like it kept repeating itself and took a long time to get anywhere worthwhile.įor example, in each team-up, Bats + 1 is chasing Ra’s who’s always one step ahead. So it continues in The Hunt for Robin as Batman’s joined by Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Frankenstein (what a good sport Frankenstein is too – Batman was literally dissecting him a couple books ago!). But crazy old Ra’s Al-Ghul has dug up their corpses and plans to bring them back to life himself! Ooo, Batman’s so mad! He’s gotta get Damian’s corpse back from the demented bastard before that happens – but wait, even wackier hi-jinks ensue once visitors from another world arrive! What’s a Dark Knight to do, eh?Īfter Grant Morrison killed off Damian, Peter Tomasi’s Batman & Robin series basically became Batman Team-Up as the Caped Crusader was joined by a different character in each issue.

Batman’s given up his grief-driven quest to resurrect Damian and finally laid him and Damian’s mother, Talia, to rest.
