comment |
Set after Battle for the Cowl, Grant Morrison's pre-flashpoint Batman and Robin series followed Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne as they attempted to keep Gotham in one piece after Bruce's apparent death.From the first arc, the story begins building up the Batman and Robin Must Die arc, which does not culminate until volume three. In between, the new dynamic duo have to deal with Jason Todd and his new sidekick Scarlet, a zombie Batman, and Damian's mess of a relationship with his mother, Talia al Ghul.The series ran from 2009 to 2011, ending due to the start of the New 52. The New 52 series reset the status quo somewhat, returning the mantle of the Batman to Bruce Wayne, with Dick Grayson returning to his former role as Nightwing. |

Mad Artist: The Man Who Laughs, the Joker's French equivalent, is both the son of one and one himself. His father was inspired by Victor Hugo's The Man Who Laughs to carve a smile on his son's face, with the son later mutilating his father and keeping his dismembered parts alive as one of his creations in addition to getting a bunch of people killed for the sake of his art. |

Be Yourself: Dick's first outing as Batman doesn't go great, especially when he still feels he's under Bruce's shadow. Alfred encourages him to see Batman as just a role to play not unlike James Bond or any Shakespearean protagonist; freely use the foundations of the role but build upon it using his own strengths. |

Corrupted Character Copy: The Metaleks seems to be the cast of Bob the Builder if the cast of Bob the Builder were not construction workers, their sapient tools and talking vehicles but hostile terraformers with an inexplicable hatred of the British Isles. However, when Superman is ambushed by a planet destroying fifth dimensional imp while on a Mission To Mars, The Metaleks come to his aide, as they hate planet destroying in general and only started "xenoforming" after this particular imp destroyed their origin world. |
