A TRAP IS SET... Robin is caught in the General's clutches, and it's up to Batman to rescue his intrepid young protege. The Dark Knight knows he's running headlong into a trap, but is the General really prepared for Batman like he thinks?
Batman & Robin: Year One #6 leans into the strengths of the previous issues and it seems like Waid and Samnee want the readers to see this. Now that the series is halfway through, it is obvious that readers are witnessing Batman and Robin becoming the Dynamic Duo we know and love but there are some growing pains. Readers have been missing seeing Batman and Robin lead a title together and now readers have the choice between two and there is no bad choice. Although, Batman & Robin: Year One feels like it's going to be talked about for years to come. Read Full Review
This continues to be one of the best things Waid has done at DC so far. Read Full Review
The bond between the Dynamic Duo grows stronger through danger with this chapter. Waids writing brings out two different sides of the same coin. Samnee, Lopes and Cowles construct an excellent visit to the days of yesteryear. This whole series is a must read for any Batman and/or Robin fan. Read Full Review
What a great time this book is! No disappointment as of yet, but let's not jinx it. I'm afraid that if I say Joker three times, he'll suddenly appear in the next issue. At this point, I have complete trust in the creative team and I'm just twisting to see where this story leads! Read Full Review
Waid and Samnee are taking us back to the early days of the dynamic duo, and their unique touch enriches this era. The series wonderfully explores the growing relationship between Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, capturing the growing pains they face as they learn to work together not just as crime-fighters, but as a family. Waid's heartfelt script comes alive through Samnee's stunning artwork, showcasing the passion and determination that drive them to seek justice. It's a touching chapter in the journey of these two heroes. Now that they've built a solid foundation together, what secret does James Gordon hold that could threaten their progress? Get ready for a bit of a wait during this intermission. Read Full Review
This might be the best issue of this series so far. Batman and Robin: Year One #6 seems to have it all, yet not feel overstuffed, a real testament to the "simplicity approach, and yet it lacks nothing either. DC doesn't have enough book like this. Furthermore, this issue also feels accessible to a new reader despite it being in the middle of the arc. The real draw is the development of the Batman and Robin partnership and that shines through strong enough to carry the series. Read Full Review
Mark Waid continues to kill it. This is arguably the best DC book alongside Absolute Batman.
Such a great time to be a Batman fan.
Awesome book.
Hot take is that I like this more than World finest Batman and Superman. This was really well-written and I like the art here. I like how Bruce and Dick Grayson just vent each other out and talk about their emotional turmoil to resolve their conflict. But the action is so dynamic and fluid
The level of writing and art are high as usual, but the story seems to drag a bit. I want to see this going somewhere.
Continuing the very good storytelling by this superb team, we enjoy more deep dives into the formative early days of the Bruce/Dick relationship, framed around an interesting villain. Couldn’t ask for a better Year One story than this.
