Batman #54


   Like a blast of fresh air, this issue of Batman is a love letter to fans of the Batman and Robin team.

   It's a "done in one" issue by writer Tom King and guest artist Matt Wagner, and it offers a fresh look at the two heroes and what they mean to each other.

   We see glimpses of Dick Grayson's earliest days at Wayne Manor, struggling to adjust to a new way of life.

   We also see some modern interaction between the now-grown Nightwing and a much more surly Dark Knight.

   It's a nice glimpse into happier days, and has some fun with the Dynamic Duo's rogues gallery as well (or at least its fringe elements).

    An entertaining issue that's a nice counterpoint to the usual grim doings here. Recommended!

Grade: A
