Batman and Robin Vol. 2: Pearl Description
Review
"Powerful effects and sharp characterization."—
Publishers Weekly"Watching [Robin] struggle to reconcile his mother's cold-blooded anger with his father's compassion and nobility (and not a little outright arrogance from both sides of the family tree) has been one of the highlights of the comics reading experience in recent years."—
Maxim "This is the kind of Batman story I like to read: an actual mystery with an emotional hook."—

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.
