Don't miss the climactic conclusion to Little Batman's first month! Damian Wayne, a.k.a. Little Batman, has all the information he needs to bring down Scarecrow but now finds himself trapped in the claws of a nefarious foe...his own babysitter! If Little Batman wants to bring Scarecrow down and save his father, he's gonna have to get out of this situation the only way a kid can: by driving her crazy.
While the art style is pretty distinct and takes some getting used to, there's some great emotional stuff and humor in this book that makes it a bit of a hidden gem. Read Full Review
Just like the feature film, the villains are the weak link in the story. More often than not, the antagonists are morons whose actions are villainous, but undercut for laughs. I enjoyed Luke Wilson's version of Bruce in the film, and tend to hear his calming voice when reading the character's dialogue in Month One, but he's an ineffective Batman. Rather, the nonplussed attitude the character takes makes him complicit in what happens to his son in both incarnations. Ultimately, Damian's lesson of learning to appreciate what little childhood he can is a great message to leave on. Considering this series is for children, Evans implying that systemic issues like corruption won't resolve in one issue is a fairly mature choice. Overall, the series is a blast, and I wouldn't mind reading another mini set in this world, if not only to get more Timothy Business jokes. Read Full Review
