    out of any comic series of DC's New 52 Peter Tomasi and Pat Gleason's Batman & Robin has to be my absolute favorite!
    . . . . .
    even though my most loved DC series was Grant Morrison's Batman Incorporated, that didn't really feel like it truly fell into that category of 'New 52' criteria. Batman Inc. was a continuation of what Grant had already started with his arc beginning with Batman Issue #655 in 2006.
    . . . . .
    Tomasi's Batman & Robin series truly felt like it was a proper batman reboot, even though it did have nod's to all the story arcs that preceded it.
    . . . . .
    another reason why i love this collection so much is we see the return of Damian Wayne who was killed in Batman Incorporated issue #8.
    . . . . .
    i'm not sure why Batman Inc. was forced into the New 52? it didn't feel like it fit with any of the DC re-boot. and forcing it into the New 52 also meant that the Death of Damian Wayne had to be reflected in all the other Batman books as well. nice going DC editorial! bunch of idiots!
    . . . . .
    thank you Peter Tomasi! you are responsible for bringing back one of my favorite DC characters! and the scene of Damian and Alfred's proper hello is priceless! . . . . . thank you for that! :D
