Review: Batman & Robin #10

Batman & Robin #10
by Grant Morrison
Art by Andy Clarke

Overall: 8/10

As the first issue in the "Return of Bruce Wayne" storyarc, this was very good. Basically, Dick Grayson and Damian go on a hunt through Wayne Manor's secret corridors and rooms looking for signs of Bruce being stuck in the past. Oh, and Talia makes Damian try to kill Dick.

This issue was very cool because of the look into the Wayne family past. And a secret treasure hunt inside a hidden demon-worshippers hideout? What's not to like? Also, it shows that Damian isn't a total brat, which is nice.

As the first of the arc, I'm hesitant to give it full marks because of all the new plot threads that Morrison has begun. However, if they all pan out well this could be the best arc of the series.

The art is good. It may not be fully my cup of tea (I'm more in the pro-Jim Lee camp as opposed to the pro-Frank Quietly) but it is enjoyable and suits the story.

Overall, a good, fun issue that will hopefully lead to an exciting arc.
