4.0 out of 5 stars Meet the new Robin!!, Nov 11 2001
By 
This review is from: Robin: A Hero Reborn (Paperback)
I thought this Batman graphic novel was great!!! I really enjoyed seeing the new Robin (Tim Drake) taking the mantle of becoming the Dark Knight's sidekick. But it all doesn't happen just instantly, Tim Drake has to prove himself to be a true vigilante superhero by battling his own inner demons and through rigorous and grueling physical and mental training, just like Bruce Wayne had to do before he became the Batman. Plus he has to go up against a power-hungry druglord that plans to wipeout the whole city of Hong-Kong with a powerful secret weapon developed by the Nazis in World War II. I recommend this great graphic novel to all fans of the Batman mythos. I myself can't wait to buy the sequel to this story of the new Robin.

4.0 out of 5 stars overlooked gem, Sep 1 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Robin: A Hero Reborn (Paperback)
In a time where comics sink to new lows in terms of story & artwork is the "only" thing that matters.... this book is an exception.

A solid story & worthy art in a cute (cheap) little package.

Worth picking up.

3.0 out of 5 stars For followers of the bat-mythos, Aug 19 2001
By 
This review is from: Robin: A Hero Reborn (Paperback)
This book (which collects Batman #455-457 and the 5-part Robin miniseries) is best to be read right after "Lonely Place of Dying" where Timothy Drake got accepted by Batman to try out to become the new Robin. Here we see how 'the boy' Timothy Drake has to grow up and evolve to rightfully become 'the Boy Wonder'.

It all starts off with the three part story that runs through Batman #455-457 (with Art by Norm Breyfogle, which is sufficient but nothing great) in which Tim is ordered to stay home, while Batman is out on the streets. This in order for him to become fully prepared before he gets to roam the streets someday. Batman is determined not to make the same mistake with Tim he made with Jason Todd (see "Death in the Family"). But once things get too hot even for Batmans feet, Tim proves his worth (this is a story with one of Batmans major villains which shall remain nameless in this review because guessing who he might be is a vital point during the storyline). Storywise this is the most entertaining part of the book. After having proven his spirit is good, the Robin miniseries starts (with art by Tom Lyle, which is an improvement) with Tim getting send to Paris in order to learn more, and perfect his fighting skills. There he gets involved in a fight with a gang, which later turns out to be more than an average streetgang but instead an organisation lead by a mad man. Together with allies he met along the way he goes out to see if he can make a difference, and so his trip to Paris turns into a worldwide pursuit in which he learns a lot from the others and from himself.

This book is not for someone who's just out to get a nice self-contained Batman story (better get "Dark Knight Returns", "The Long Halloween" or "Batman: Prey" for that purpose) but it's a nice addition for people who like to keep track with the Bat-mythos. It continues right after the events that took place in "Lonely Place of Dying" so I'd really get that first (and if you want to know what all the hinting to 'Jason Todd' in the book is about you might wanna check out "Death in the Family" too, but that's optional, not a must). Given, it's not the greatest Batman-related story you'll ever read nor is it the most memorable, but it DOES make for a couple of hours of good, uncomplicated entertainment and will definately be worth your while (again, IF you're a fan of Bat-mythos).
