The final sentence in my review of the first Batman and Robin book was, "I'll certainly preorder book 2 but with reduced expectations." Unfortunately over time I forgot what I wrote and given the tremendous critical acclaim the series was getting I received this with sky high expectations. Yet again I found myself let down this time even more. The art is quite good although I prefer the visuals of Cameron Stewart who did the first half of the book than Andy Clarke who seemed to be trying to emulate Frank Quitely with less than complete success. So far DC seems to be giving artist three issues and out on this series having started with Frank Quitely then Philip Tan and now Stewart and Clarke. The covers ARE done by Quitely and are always a treat.
Unlike the previous book which stood on its own this one is a continuation of the death of Batman from Final Crisis and Morrison's controversial Batman R.I.P. and less controversial Black Glove storylines from last year. Nothing is resolved in this book and it seems to be more of a setup for future stories building up the mystery of Bruce Wayne being lost in time. The first three issues center around Dick Grayson's ill advised attempt to bring Bruce back from the dead using a Lazarus Pit discovered in England. The story features an appearance by Squire and Knight who appeared in the Black Glove storyline as well as Batwoman who doesn't actually serve much of a purpose here. The three issues don't really advance the main storyline much other than to prove that Batman's corpse is not Bruce Wayne but we already knew that anyway.
Overall what can someone say about Grant Morrison's run on Batman that has not been said. Personally I have enjoyed what he has done and thin that it is rapidly increasing in grandeur and quality of storytelling. This comic in particular is a little less fluid in my opinion than the last one, but the story does seem to be in the process of building to a grand conclusion, obviously the return of Bruce Wayne and Dr. Hurt.
I find the relationship between Dick and Damian in this book compelling and overall one of the strong points of Morrison's run this far is the way he has turned Damian from perhaps one of the most annoying characters I have ever encountered in comic books (he fairs well even when I widen this to all Literature) into a character that has multiple dimensions or you at least begin to truly see some in this volume. Although to be fair he does still come off somewhat stale on occasions.
The action in this book is very well done and enjoyable to see. The art overall is well done and there are few complaints that I can really make of it, short of saying it is nothing overly spectacular in my opinion.
The supporting characters are one of the more interesting elements here. Seeing the supposed edition of minor characters and the interactions between Damian and his mother in particular it seems will be important down the line for later comics in the series of the Morrison epic.
All in all if you have been taken in by Morrison thus far, you enjoyed the first volume of Batman and Robin, or you are still unsure about what you think of any of the above you should go ahead and buy this book since it does make good, albeit very short reading.
