Next up on tap for my new comic jones is DC's New 52 Batman and Robin. This was a no brainer for me since Batman is one of my favorite superheroes and him and Robin have been one of my fave duos. That along with the fact that Batman doesn't have any superpowers always made me a fan cause I always thought that somehow, someway that I could be Batman. This new Batman and Robin sets off with Batman trying to find a way to deal with the new Robin, who is his son Damien. In a nutshell Batman got the daughter of Ra's al Ghul (one of his enemies) pregnant and ten years later, the mother leaves the kid with Batman (who didn't even know he had a kid...I swear these 2012 comics really are starting to mirror real life) on some comic book Boyz In the Hood type thing. Sound like a boring storyline right? Well, it would be if it wasn't for the fact that Damian has been trained to be an assassin since he was 3 years old and wants to kill any of everything that moves...and he can. Plus he's a smart ass and that just makes the storyline THAT much better. Anything Batman says, Damien disagrees with. Damien's train of thought is why arrest the bad guys? Just kill 'em all. Which doesn't exactly fall in line with Batman's philosophy on crime fighting. Not to mention ANY chance he gets if he's not telling Batman he's better then the previous Robins, he's telling them to their faces! (you gotta love the balls on this kid) So can Batman keep Damien's temper under wraps? (did I mention that Damien doesn't listen to 90% of what Batman tells him to do?) You gotta dive into series if you wanna find out.
