Damian Wayne is the son of the Bat, grandson of the Demon, and Robin--but as he nears the age at which his father traveled the world, one question is on his mind: Who is Damian outside of the crusades his family has tasked him with fighting since birth? When he starts to look beyond his life of endless violence, a different way to help the world begins to present itself--but when an enigmatic new murderer begins reenacting traumatic crimes from Gotham's history, Batman will need Robin more than ever before! It's a whole new dynamic for the Dynamic Duo as the powerhouse team of Phillip Kennedy Johnson (Superman: Warworld Saga) and Javier Ferna more

    Johnson hasn't really worked extensively in Gotham before, and it's too early to say how this run will turn out, but there is a ton of promise here. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Kevin Rossi Oct 9, 2024

    Overall, Batman and Robin #14 is an excellent debut for this creative team. It already feels a lot more straightforward than the previous arcs, which might attract new readers. One downside to this issue is Damian seems to be a lot younger than he was when Williamson was writing, but that doesnt mean the character development is gone. It will be interesting to see what this creative team does with this series. Johnson is no stranger to family dynamics and he has proven that he can tackle big ideas with laser focus.

    Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles Oct 9, 2024

    Johnson needs to refine Damian's personality a bit, but this was a solid debut from the new creative team with a new threat instead of relying on the same old Rogues. They could utilize them fine, but it's refreshing to see new potentially lasting enemies join the Batman lore as well. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Oct 9, 2024

    Batman And Robin #14 is a perfectly fine start to a new Batman and Robin adventure with a new creative team. But for a step backward in Damian's character growth, the setup and new villain introduction are well done. Overall, the new creative team is headed in the right direction. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Christian Gonzalez Oct 10, 2024

    Batman & Robin #14 kicks off to a good start with PKJ, Fernndez, and co. The underlying mystery that has ties to not only Gotham's past, but also Batman's past is really intriguing and seems to involve some kind of supernatural element. Even though Damian's character development seems to have regressed a little bit, I'm looking forward to see how the story unfolds. Read Full Review
