Sep 10, 2026I've very little else to say, other than this was a dynamite issue. Highly recommended, it is every bit as classic and entertaining as the very best of Waid's World's Finest. Read Full Review

Comic Book Clique - Jocelyn Savoie
Sep 22, 2026Batman and Robin: Year One – Dynamic Duos #2 mixes in some well-timed humor without taking away from the more serious subject matter, with the cliffhanger ending driving that point home. It also gives Batman, Catwoman, and Robin plenty of room to shine without making any of them feel like an afterthought. Catwoman, in particular, gets the strongest character development in the issue, and I'm even more excited to see what happens when the trio finally gets the chance to work together. Read Full Review

This series is shaping up to be much better than its predecessor.
The entire cast of characters are written so well. Each perfectly voiced as you’d expect them to be. And it’s a pleasure reading them interact with one another. Great balance of action, intrigue, suspense and humor. Actually, Dick Grayson’s portrayal in this issue is absolutely brilliant!!
I’d reread issue one before delving into issue two. And the first issue really held up!!
There were just a few small spots where the writing got just a little choppy. But nothing too unforgivable. Art is really nice as well.
Definitely without a doubt this is one of the best newer Batman stories I’ve read in a very long time. Very excited for the next iss more -
