This is the second volume of Batman and Robin comics in the New 52 universe in DC. It starts with a little flashback to Damian's early childhood, and his growing up to overpower his mother. We're then thrown back into the "present" - full of sibling rivalry, father-son moments, and a hell of a lot of fighting.

The relationship between Bruce and Damian will always be great to read. I loved how Damian was so headstrong in this book, but then the ending was so sweet. And I actually really liked him fighting with the other "Robins" - Red Hood, Nightwing and Red Robin - in order to prove himself better than them. Nightwing's response was definitely my favourite.

There are a good deal of villains in here - Terminus and his army of "scarred" victims of Batman, and a zombie uprising courtesy of Batman's favourite clown. The action is good, and the "zombie" plot was great. 

And of course, the art was as fantastic as ever. 

4 stars.
