But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Oct 10, 2023Batman and Robin #2 takes a different approach to the father-and-son relationship. Batman’s relationship with the Robins can be complicated, and that is very apparent here. But above all, it paints them both as good men. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
Oct 10, 2023Batman and Robin #2 is an excellent follow-up to the debut issue. Bruce Wayne and Damian Wayne's chemistry as the Dynamic Duo once again shines. Shush is presented as a incredible new villain you can't wait to see more of. All of it comes together to quickly establish Batman and Robin as the best series in the franchise. Read Full Review

Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Oct 10, 2023Overall, the banter between Bruce and Damian is the best it's ever been and this might be the only time I can remember where they actually feel like father and son rather than associates. It's a golden age for the bat-books and this is another winner. Read Full Review

Dark Knight News - James Attias
Oct 10, 2023Batman & Robin #2 takes the pop from the first issue and adds gas to the fire. This series is awesome, as is the ending of the book itself. Tune in next month for my next review, same Bat-time, same Bat-website! Read Full Review

Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles
Oct 10, 2023This is just two issues in, but it's already showing welcome potential while being as close to a refreshingly self-contained Batman and Robin story as possible. Read Full Review

Nerd Initiative - Ken M.
Oct 10, 2023The next chapter in the Dynamic Duos legacy doesnt falter in delivering a great story. Williamsons strong writing balances a fractured family with the quest of justice exceptionally well. Combine that with Di Meo and Wands electrifying work and you have the recipe for a cant miss series. Dont miss this on New Comic Bok Day! Read Full Review

The Batman Universe - Theodis Wright

Graphic Policy - Brett
Oct 11, 2023Batman and Robin #2 is a solid issue and between it and the debut, makes the case this is the Bat comic on the stands right now. It's a fun read with a mix of grounded and campy, seriousness and humor, with relationships at the center of it all. Sit back and enjoy this one. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
Oct 10, 2023Batman and Robin #2 is another fantastic-looking issue that blends the father/son dynamic into the action and intrigue. This issue feels a bit short on plot progression, leaving you wanting. Read Full Review

Get Your Comic On - Neil Vagg
Oct 10, 2023Batman & Robin has really hit its stride. With an intriguing new villain and some of the best father-son dynamics we've seen, Williamson and Di Meo are certainly making a great first impression. Read Full Review

The Comicbook Dispatch - StoryBabbler
Oct 11, 2023Batman and Robin #2 reveals the new villainess hunting the dynamic duo: Shush. It's obvious who the character is evoking, but we've yet to see if there's a direct connection between the two. The story continues where it left off last issue and smoothly transitions to Damian's first day of high school, which goes about as well as anyone expects. The art and characterization go hand-in-hand in this comic whether characters are talking or when they're engaged in action. Overall, it's a fun comic that sets the stage for more action and intrigue in the next issue. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Kevin Rossi
Oct 10, 2023Batman and Robin is starting to find its footing with issue #2 as it moves away from the events of the Gotham War in the other Bat-books. Williamson is putting a lot of effort into growing Damian as a character as well as the father/son relationship between Damian and Bruce. Read Full Review

Batman-News - William Martin
Oct 10, 2023I wasn't super impressed by this issue but I'm holding out hope that things will pick up. Even still, it's mostly enjoyable, and as long as the artwork isn't a dealbreaker for you, I still can comfortably recommend it. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
Oct 10, 2023Batman And Robin #2 is an entertaining, Damian-centric issue to help you get to know the latest Boy Wonder. That said, the plot doesn't move much, and the art is a mixed bag. If you're a Speculator, pick this issue up for the introduction of Shush. For everyone else, consider waiting for the inevitable trade. Read Full Review

First, this book is tonally out of place with Batman and Detective Comics (and maybe that's a good thing). This book is basically Batman Forever starring Damian instead of Dick. It's bright, it's just light-hearted enough and it's entertaining.

a fun and entertaining issue thats WAY better than the main Batman book. It has fun light-hearted moments that have strong characterization for Batman and Damian Wayne, and is really engaging.

Not sure how I feel about this one. Everything is sort of good but not great. Still better than the current mainline Batman book but that isnt saying much.

I think Sush is a really bad idea. Completely derivative. I like that Batman tells Damien that he has an assignment for him and sends him to school. When is the kid supposed to sleep? They bring up a good point -- does Damien have an accent? He should since he grew up in the Middle East, but in the cartoons he never does. Interesting. I love the panel with Batman saying "Shouldn't you be in school?" Good stuff. Let's see where the story goes? My comic book review channel - https://youtu.be/Rv1-coU4CbA

I could understand this story happening during the same time as the Gotham War storyline if I looked at it sideways and squinted after the first issue went out of its way to connect the two together. Gotham War has pushed Bruce so far to the extreme under the influence of Batman of Zur-En-Arrh that it's nearly impossible to watch Bruce/Batman in this series and believe they're both happening in the same universe. Elements that made the first issue interesting, namely the deeper look at the father/son dynamic between Bruce and Damian, take a back seat so Joshua Williamson can introduce Shush, the new villain who has a vendetta against Bruce. Its implied that she isn't working alone, could it be so obvious that she's work for Thomas Elli more
