Comic Book Clique - Prub Gill
Feb 12, 2026Between the introduction of an intriguing new anti-hero in Cyrus Mercer (aka Quiet Man) and the profound character development of Damian, this finale was a fabulous read. Phillip Kennedy Johnson’s run as a whole has the potential to define the modern version of Robin for years to come. Read Full Review

Fanlight Zone - Ken M.
Feb 11, 2026Phillip Kennedy-Johnson’s time in Gotham comes to a thunderous end with The Quiet Man making a lot of noise. The writing features a young man coming into his role as a hero. Ossio and Maiolo present the final conflict with incredible visuals. A bittersweet goodbye but one not to me forgotten anytime soon. Read Full Review

The Batman Universe - Stephanie Mounce
Feb 10, 2026Creating original characters allows writers to give characters depth, growth, and redemption, and I think all that was achieved here. And the Bruce /Damian bonding at the end was delightful. Read Full Review

Great ending to what's not only the best arc I've read from PKJ but also one of my favorite Batman stories of the last few years. Perfect blend of classic villains being swept up in a conflict with a new villain/vigilante while doing great work on Damien's growth as a person. I'll certainly be picking this up in a trade and recommend to anyone. Only nit pick is the "pretty brave" comment from Bruce was being cringy and would sound so condescending to Damien. That's something to say to a little kid he saves at best. Now we just need someone to give this story (amongst plenty of other recent runs) to Matt Fraction asap before he continues his brutal regression of Damien in the current Batman book.

I'm really bummed that this title has been canceled. I'm not sure why. It wasn't from sales, was it just that they didn't Johnson's sontract was up and they didn't renew it? Very strange. It's a decent conclusion to the run. Too bad we won't be getting any more. My Review Channel - https://youtu.be/6fuJHwqbeJE

Overall, this was a satisfying conclusion to this run. While I think Joshua Williamson's first half of this run was more entertaining, it's pretty clear that PKJ's run is better due ot the writing and character for Bruce and Damian. This is a modern classic, and I can't wait to re-read this again to appreciate it fully. I highly reccomend people reading the entire series, including Joshua Williamson

This was an okay conclusion but Damian really feels off in this run. Who is this rookie because it’s not Damian! I’m going to miss this series coming out. But I’m not going to miss it that much. Part of me is relieved that it’s done.
