Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Comic legends Grant Morrison (ALL STAR SUPERMAN, SEVEN SOLDIERS) and Andy Kubert (Ultimate X-Men, 1602) join forces to bring you an unforgettable tale of the Dark Knight.

After Batman faces down an army of winged horrors in a no-holds barred, bone-crunching superbrawl among the treasures of London's Pop Art Museum, Batman receives the greatest shock of his life when he discovers that he has a son. Sparks fly when the new addition to the Bat-family is introduced to Batman's adopted son, Robin, the Boy Wonder. Which one will be chosen to carry on the legacy as Gotham's protector?

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Why bother?
As a graphic novel this falls completely flat with very minor redeeming qualities. If you aren't a regular follower of the Batman series this story will confuse you, and leave you with almost zero closure. There seems to be absolutely NO purpose for this collection other than to collect a few issues of Batman into a paperback, but it even fails at that (collects Batman #655-#658 and #663-#666). Quite a gap. The story arch, while it does tell a story, feels to be lacking in vision and is ultimately ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A comic pro weighs in
Everything was crisp about this story arc, and it certainly was a twist over others in the series... Batman had a son ! Who knew ?! The art was great (even though I don't go in for the computerized age LOL), and they characterizations were bold. I do think that 1 more story or additional pages were needed to set up this story a slight bit better, as I hate flashbacks that add history that are 'made up' on the spot. DC should've have authorized a new story, exclusive to this volume, with background detail ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wayne, Bruce Wayne!
Pure genuis. A fun, exciting, engaging storyline with a likeable Batman, who is equal parts superhero and Bond, James Bond, and Ninja Man-Bats!!!! What more do you need to know??? I devoured it one sitting.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Necessary for Batman RIP
I actually liked this issue. Specially the midstory with the Joker's "reborn". I am so happy that I got this because I bought Batman RIP first and there was SO many things I didn't understand, but I read somewhere that say it was necessary to read Batman & Son, Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul and Black Glove before reeding RIP. I bought all of them and voila!, from the begining there are several important matters for RIP. Besides this, this is a fun action story. Very good...



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A love it or hate it title......
By this point i've read Grant Morrison's entire 5-volume arch (Batman and son, Resurrection of Ra's, Black Glove, RIP, and Final Crisis) and I have very mixed opinions. On one hand the art in each of these books is quite good (particularly Tony Daniel's RIP), but the story's are very much puzzles that ask you to step away from the characters and look at them more as chess-pieces than characters in a story. Not once while I was reading any of these books did I feel anything for Bruce, Tim, Dick, or Alfred ... Read More
