BATMAN AND ROBIN double-ships in February with part 2 and 3 of “Blackest Knight” guest-starring Batwoman, Knight and Squire! Only months into his new role as Batman, Dick Grayson faces perhaps the biggest threat of his life. In hopes of attaining his heart’s desire, has Dick instead unleashed a terror the likes of which the world has never seen? Meanwhile, back in Gotham City, Alfred and a recuperating Robin are at the mercy of someone both fearsome and familiar…

BONUS REVIEW by MOLLY MALONE


Being the last of a three-part story-line, this issue isn't the best jumping-on point, but it's super fun and the art is great. There's some Damian and Alfred versus a very creepy Bat-Clone back from the dead, and some Batman, Knight and Squire cavorting beneath London with Batwoman(!!). Only thing that was a little off was the reason Dick decided to try and resurrect Bruce's "body" in the first place. But all in all, an enjoyable read.

I give it 7 out of 10 Grahams
