Batman and Robin #26

This first arc has had a few large-scale threats, but what it's had even more importantly is a fantastic take on Clark as he learns the basics of how to be Superman. This wouldn't be possible without Mark Waid's skilled, experienced pen controlling Clark's actions, and I'm hoping that the next arc is just as compelling as the first as Clark's journey continues.

Batman and Robin is quickly becoming the secret weapon of the Batman line. If the creative team can keep this level of quality going, it could be the best. Read Full Review

Ossio delivers some fun, inventive and beautifully detailed art throughout the issue. I love the intensity of the imagery and how it captures the tone of the story. Read Full Review

Batman and Robin #26 is a fantastic dose of fuel to the fire of this already fantastic title. The next issue can't come soon enough! Read Full Review

The Quiet Mans impact stretches far beyond expectations with another fantastic issue. Johnsons writing weaves a strong mystery. Ossio & Maiolo craft a dark look inside one mans revenge mission. This story is a welcomed addition to the Bat family & your comic collection. Read Full Review

Batman and Robin #26 is a quick issue, but it continues to be a fun read for Batman and Robin, and The Quiet Man is becoming a villain I want to see more of. He's a low-key goon type, but definitely skilled in what he does. I mean, not everybody can take down Robin. With the revelation of the target, the stage is perfectly set for the next chapter.

Batman and Robin #26 continued the momentum from the previous issue, and gave us more insight into the Quiet Man's motivations. Even though his methods don't align with the Dynamic Duo's, Cy is a sympathetic adversary and I'm intrigued with how PKJ and co. handle the villain that was teased by the end of the issue. The Quiet Man is essentially John Wick, and I'm here for it. Read Full Review

I am liking the relationship and interactions between Batman and Robin much better, even if the "villain" himself isn't all that interesting. Read Full Review

This was such an excellent issue and shows what PJK is capable of. I like his writing but find he gets so bogged down in lore that it often kills any momentum to, or even interest in, his stories yet his character work and general concepts are fantastic. If he learns to consolidate the lore to his stories and tighten up the amount of issues for a story, he'll be a great writer. I felt this issue was really firing on all cylinders. The character work between Bruce & Damien was fantastic, all the character voices were authentic, the pacing was perfect, the angle of Damien & the "strays" continues to be awesome, the concept of the quiet man is cool & the reveal wasn't brutally dragged out (like the last story), and the Penguin, Harvey, & Ve ntriloquist are 3 of my favorite Bat-villains so really enjoying how this is going. more

I really like this issue due to Bruce and Damian's relationship on how Damian feels guilty for them prioritizing being a family over being superheroes. Overall, every single Batman and Robin series have been great and consistent. From Grant Morrison to Peter J Tomasi to Joshua Williamson and now this. It's great to read Batman stories that are consistently high quality

Very good writing and art. The action sequences have been TOP NOTCH throughout. This is definitely a good series to keep up with. I really like how Bruce and Damian and the relationship as Batman and Robin and father and son are written here. Bruce pointing out the details of their current case while Damian trains was a nice touch. The “she looked suspicious” part was really funny. But it seemed very out of character for Damian. I almost feel like DC is trying to soft reboot the character. Side note……. I previously had a lot more written. But writing reviews for this site on your phone is ill advised, as ONE little hiccup and everything you’d spent your time writing simply gets erased!! When will I learn????!!

Still the best Batman book out there. I wasn't happy with Fraction's last issue, and then I read this. We have a mystery, a viable threat, and a father-son budding relationship that is hampered by duty. I hope that he doesn't draw it out like the Momento story. Six issues is good. Love the Penguin in here as well. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/LPCaLFpoYSk

Could not agree more.

The mystery with the Quit Man deepens as we get a few more reveals into what and who he might be after. Throw in more great character work between Bruce and Dick, and an appearance by Two-Face, and the end result is a very solid chapter in an intriguing storyline.
