The DC Universe has been through a lot over the past few years. Not a single hero or villain has been immune to the effects of reality-altering circumstances, sudden resurrections, and crazy machinations that threaten to rewrite the entirety of their existence. It's pretty heavy stuff. With everything so mired in complex continuity, it's difficult to just leap into any comic, but Grant Morrison's Batman & Robin presents a good starting point.
Here's what you need to know: Bruce Wayne has disappeared in time, because comics like to do that. The original Robin, Dick Grayson, has returned to Gotham to fight crime as Batman, alongside Bruce Wayne's 10-year-old son, Damian, who is essentially half supervillain and very angry about stuff. Both of these heroes are finding their legs in these iconic roles throughout the course of these six collected issues. Everything else should spell itself out without becoming too confusing.
Grant Morrison is one of my favorite writers. He can write incredibly strange, surreal, psychological fiction and just as easily slip back into writing powerful superhero tales about the X-Men or the Justice League. While it sometimes feels that Morrison is writing weird things for weirdness' sake, the historically bizarre bad guys that attack Gotham are a very good fit for his version of creepy, and there's no better artist to make sense of his strange exhortations than Frank Quitely.
Quitely's artwork, which is used for the first half of the collection, might be an acquired taste. It feels soft and squishy, but it's also ultra-detailed and focuses on a stylized realism, textures, and atmospherics.
****THIS IS A SPOILER-FREE REVIEW OF MORRISON'S ENTIRE B&R RUN (#1-16) WHICH IS THE FIRST 3 BOOKS (OR THE ABSOLUTE EDITION) OF THE ORIGINAL COMIC SERIES****
Disclaimer: I'm a Morrison fan.
So I remember picking up B&R #1 on the stands when it came out but didn't bother to continue with the book. There were three reasons:
#1 I couldn't stand Damien - Bruce Wayne's illegitimate son with Talia Al' Ghul - whose personality was grating. I also likeD Tim Drake as Robin and the whole thing just felt forced;
#2 Bruce had just been killed in the confusing and ill-focused Final Crisis, also written Morrison (I'm a fan, not a worshiper). I knew it was just a stunt and the whole Battle For the Cowl story that immediately precedes the debut of this book was mind-numbingly stupid. As if anyone with even a passing knowledge of Batman didn't know that Dick Grayson was going to be the new Batman.
#3 The first issue just wasn't every exciting. Morrison has two distinct styles, one is heavy on content that just inundates the reader with information. The other is very sparse and is definitely focused on telling a longer term story. The latter is the style he chose here and I was not in the mood for that given all I had endured up to that point. Also his unimpressive stint at writing Final Crisis had left me soured (even though the 2-issue Superman 3-D mini tie-in he wrote to supplement Final Crisis was him at his best).
ANYWAY, that preface is to let you know that I had little interest in the book and was not sold on it being any good. That is until I had read Dick as Batman in the final chapters of Detective Comics Vol. 1 and passingly in Batman, Inc. Vol 1 both in 2011.
