In the early stages of the book Dick isn’t a firm leader and fails to get the point across that he is in charge now, slowly but surely Damian does realise the folly of his ways but not before he makes some monumental cock-ups along the way. He makes some bad decisions and clearly he, as well as Dick, is struggling with Bruce’s absence. During Batman Reborn Damian does some truly reckless things around the city and Dick’s struggling to keep him in line to the point where they both land in serious trouble.ĭamian, on the other hand, is a complete idiot. This is a reflection of Batman & Robin’s early years except it’s not quite a partnership. I always find Dick Grayson to be one of the most organic Red Hood and SashaĬharacters in the DC universe, he often has problems, anxiety, doubts but is strong willed, courageous and honest and Grant Morrison, to me, wrote Dick exactly how he should be written.ĭick’s struggling, he really is, he’s lost his mentor and father figure and to make matters worse he now has Bruce’s prodigous and hot-headed son to look after. Throughout the book Dick Grayson struggles to come to terms with his new role one where it’s more thrusted upon him rather than a choice.

Not only that but it’s got Dick Grayson as the main character and it is my first book where Damian features in. It’s got the modern artwork that I am a fan of which really brings the events of the book to life. Let me just get straight to the point – I loved this book and it’s definitely one of my favourites. Grant Morrison tries his hand at blending new perspectives on old roles – and in my opinion he does it very, very well. Batman & Robin: Batman Reborn focuses on a different dynamic duo that we’re used to – a softer Batman and a more brutal Robin. Bruce isn’t around anymore following the major events in Final Crisis so it’s up to Dick and Damian to keep an eye on Gotham in his absence.
