By Peter Tomasi Batman and Robin Volume 2: Pearl TP (The New 52) (Batman & Robin (Numbered)) Paperback – 1 Jan. 2013

Not killing a plot line on this... can most definitely say the graphics are amazing... the art is first class the storyline is brilliant... all in the Style of a new 52..... what more can anybody ask for....If you don't get any of this series you are missing some very good entertaining Reading and it's Batman....... who doesn't want to read about Batman ?

This product was in a brilliant condition and was everything I expected. Is now part of my Batman New 52 collection

While Damian Wayne had been one of the most irritating characters (rivalling Jason Todd in all senses) to have ever appeared in Batman's universe, he has started gathering some real character, and appreciable traits. And this particular volume contains some good stories as well, one of which must have been appreciated by followers of the "Court of Owls" arc as well. Recommended.

I love the Damien Wayne story line and this was another fantastic addition. He has a heart despite the attitude which makes him a great character. This volume went more in depth than the first and was a lot better because of it. Looking forward to the next one.

Great! Good story and design well! Hight quality! the writer is excelent! The Inker and designer are good! Its Nice!

Great item.

delighted I got it in the post

21 year old Grandsons favourite. Has got him interested in reading

This is an amazing age to be a Batman fan. Between Scott Snyder's work on Batman: The Black Mirror and Batman Vol. 1: The Court of Owls (The New 52), and Grant Morrison's groundbreaking work on Batman Incorporated, Vol. 1: Demon Star (The New 52), we are truly spoiled for choice. There is a down side to having such an embarrassment of riches however, and that is overlooking the diamond's in the rough. Tomasi and Gleason's Batman & Robin Vol. 1: Born to Kill (The New 52) is that diamond in the rough.The first volume established Bruce and Damian's relationship, but in this volume we see Damian doing everything he can to prove that he has earned the title of 'Robin'. For many years the character of Robin has been synonymous with the term 'sidekick', but this volume shows you how wrong that belief is. We witness Damian's upbringing, his fight against a Talon of the Court of Owls, and most importantly, his interactions with previous Robins.Being trained from birth by the greatest assassin's in the world, and being the blood heir to the greatest detective in the world isn't enough for Damian; he want's to EARN the respect of those who came before him, to show them, and himself, that he is worthy of the title. It isn't a new concept, but if I have seen it implemented better somewhere else, I can't think of it.Witnessing the bond deepen between, not only Damian and his father, but also between his adoptive family, is touching in a way that series in this medium rarely achieve. Peter Tomasi writes the hell out of this fantastic series, taking events from other authors and seamlessly weaving them into his own narrative, using them to enhance whatever story he is telling along the way. Patrick Gleason is a truly gifted man, and every single issue is an absolute joy to behold. Because of his tremendous talent this book is, hands down, the most visually beautiful Batman series on the stands today. Batman and Robin volume 2 continues the fantastic pace of the first book, and it is only getting better. If you have ever enjoyed Batman as a character, or want to know more about the new Robin, this is the book for you. A joy to read, and an absolute must buy.

Awesome story about Bruce dealing with being a father and mentor to his son/robin its a little slow but picks up

Wer mehr über Damien wissen will, kommt am Anfang voll auf seine Kosten. Das Kapitel ist spannend und actionreich. Dann nimmt die Qualität des Bandes aber doch etwas ab. Die Story ist einfach nicht sonderlich unterhaltsam.

The second volume of the critically acclaimed Batman and Robin series starts us off with an entry in the past regarding Damian's training given by his mother and how he came to be with his father. It then spins back into the present with the Court of Owls attack and Damian's mission to protect a military general. Then, a group is gathered that has been defaced and haunted by the Batman that seeks to take the image Batman has created, and turn it on the people of Gotham.This nice hardcover features issues #0, 9-14 in that order. The zero issue had Peter J. Tomasi writing and Patrick Gleason doing the art. He drew an especially cute, big-eyed Damian that really drew the killer aspect away and the cute 10-year-old boy aspect ever closer; especially in one particular well-known panel where Damian finds his father's cowl. Story-wise, however, it doesn't allow a very good explanation for the plethora of questions everyone had regarding Damian's life and where it fit in the New 52's timeline. Otherwise, it was a very action-packed story that worked well as a one-shot. Issue #9 was the Court of Owls tie-in issue which had Tomasi writing and Lee Garbett doing the pencil work. It was a good tie-in issue but there wasn't a whole lot to it. Now, the rest of the book covers one story arc written by Tomasi again with art by Patrick Gleason throughout (with some help by Tomas Giorello on two issues) that were really fantastic. The story was very well-written involving all the former Robins and the dynamics that each one brought to the story as well as Batman and Robin's father/son bickering and power struggles. The villain was interesting and the ending will have you begging for more as it will move into an even more interesting arc! I think I actually enjoyed this second volume at least as much as the first! On top of that, there are some neat extra sketches and scripts at the end!

good book
