Favorite Batman Series of the Year That Could…

 

Batman and Robin

 

Let me say up front I love all the Batman books but here’s the point I want to make:

I want to commend the Batman and Robin team of writer Peter J. Tomasi and artist Patrick Gleason and Mick Gray who told the story of the impact from those events in one of my favorite arcs of the year or any year. Continue reading Best of 2013 BATMAN AND ROBIN
