    Batman-News - Christian Gonzalez Jan 8, 2025

    Batman & Robin has been consistently solid so far in this run and issue #17 is no different. We're officially past the halfway point in this arc, and I feel that Phillip Kennedy Johnson and the entire creative team working on this will continue to provide great storytelling. Plus (spoilers ahead), how will the inclusion of Jason Todd affect the conclusion? I love me some Red Hood! I'm looking forward to the next issue, and you should too. Read Full Review

    The Batman Universe - Daniel Goldberg Jan 13, 2025

    Phillip Kennedy Johnson is doing fantastic work with Batman and Robin #17. The Memento arc is darker, more complicated, and more frightening than the simple and straightforward offerings from previous writer Joshua Williamson. I'm fascinated by Memento and Johnson's use of historical monster genres to animate the detective fiction component undergirding Batman and Robin. This is a well-constructed and interesting book and I'm excited to see where it goes. Read Full Review
