I don’t really mind the back pedaling of the relationship, because it’s comics and I feel like that happens all the time. But I do mind that this arc is heavily padded and just way too long.

Misses the mark once again, just as with the previous storyline. The villain had potential, but the motivations and lack of character development worked against it. I love Francovilla’s art style on some other recent titles, but coming in the wake of Bruno Redondo, it’s not a good fit here.

Honestly Absolute flash has been ny third favorite series coming out of the Absolute DC Universe line-up. The art and action is just so kinetic and fast-paced, and I like Jeff Lemire's Wally West voice on how this Wally is alone with just Monkey Grodd. I hav more

This just continues to blow my mind. This is the best Lemire DC work since his Green Arrow run, which to me is utterly classic.
This merges Lemire's penchant for psychological horror beautifully with his flair for family drama. This could end up as his defining DC run.

I definitely enjoyed this issue a lot more than the previous. I don’t think I’m really enjoying this direction as much as the series debut. This Memento arc really is beginning to wear out its welcome.
I just really dislike how many times we’ve seen Bruce and Damian‘s relationship continually strained. It feels like we’ve taken a massive back pedal even from where we were with more

I do have to be honest. Until this series I wasn’t really thrilled with much of Williamson’s writing. Especially not the short arc that he did on Batman with The Club of Heroes. I was 50/50 with the first issue he’d written of Robin (The Lazarus Tournament). But when I took a chance on the first TPB of this Batman & Robin series I quickly became enamored with it. While it was not the same level of Peter Tomasi’s run, it felt like Williamson was doing his best to try to create that similar vibe.
I do have to say that I am really enjoying much of what Phillip Kennedy Johnson is doing. It’s just that the strikingly different characterization of Bruce and Damian’s relationship, I think I’d have liked it much more had it been in a different series. Like if it’d been DC BLACK LABEL or something? All that being said, I really love the flashbacks PKJ has been giving us of Bruce Wayne in his younger years. Seeing Bruce apprentice for one of his many mentors.
