After a year that included death, resurrection and battles with the forces of Apokolips, its time for Batman and Robin to get back to basics both as father and son and partners in crimefighting. But have the events of the past year left too great a rift for them to bounce back from?

    Word Of The Nerd - Daniel Kalban Apr 3, 2015

    It is the end for Batman and Robin, for now. The Dynamic Duo ends their book with a wonderful sendoff that works with the themes Tomasi has developed over his run, and shows at its heart this series has always been a father and son tale. Read Full Review

    DC Comics News - Max Eber Apr 4, 2015

    This is a great ultimately heartfelt one-shot. No life shattering consequences, no “big reveals” or Lincoln Marches or Black Gloves or Dr. Hurt's or anything. Just zany pretty well-drawn comics about Batman spending time with his son. It's perfect. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Eric Shea Apr 2, 2015

    If you're looking for a way to get out of your rut of depression because our beloved Batman and Robin has ended, well look no further than this Annual.  It's a fun over the top outer space adventure complete with all the father son back and forth that you've come to know and love and let's not forget about the art that will really grab you by the end of the issue.  Man, I'm really going to miss this title.

    Batman-News - Terry Miles, Jr. Apr 2, 2015

    Batman and Robin has always been one of my favorite titles in DC's stable so it's sad to see it go. At least it ended on a high note. What do you do when you reach the top? Go even higher. This issue took our heroes to space and showed us they can still hold their own. No need for big revelations or cliffhangers, just an average day in the life of the Dark Knight and the Boy Wonder.

    The Batman Universe - Ryan Blair Apr 1, 2015

    My only drawback (and its minor) is that my continuity brain is now exploding that we didnt get an answer as to where these Batman and Robin stories fit into the overall Batman timeline. I would have liked to get that answer…but this story definitely made up for the lack of answers. Read Full Review

    Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills Apr 4, 2015

    he pure joy of this issue comes from the balance of insane story vs. straight execution. This isn't a comedic issue. This isn't a wink-at-the-camera story. The creators are having fun, but they're telling a serious, grounded Batman story " about a battle with moon men! The art, especially, is hyper-detailed and realistic, with Ryp getting all the details of the space gear and the freaky aliens just right. The comic looks great. Read Full Review

    Doom Rocket - Jarrod Jones Apr 6, 2015

    Squeezing in one final Batman and Robin yarn before Convergence does whatever the hell it's supposed to do, DC Comics has published the third annual to Peter J. Tomasi, Patrick Gleason, and Mick Gray's top-notch series. (How many New52 books can boast that?) And while the art boys sit this entry out, Tomasi's reliably strong characterization remains, making the issue a fine entry for the series. Read Full Review

    The Latest Pull - Nate Stout Apr 3, 2015

    Even the characterization in this issue felt off, though not significantly. The characters didn't necessarily act outside of what might be expected and their dialogue felt natural for them, but it does no development work. If you weren't already attached to Batman and Robin, you aren't going to get attached from this issue. Most of the characterization problems probably stem from the story being a bit rushed as it tried to all fit into a single issue. Overall, this is a disappointing end to Tomasi's otherwise phenomenal run. Read Full Review
