Every partnership has an source and that ’s specially on-key for DC ’s active couplet of Batman and Robin .
While the partnership between Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson as Batman and Robin has been a core scene of DC through various narration for decade , it ’s an iconic partnership that is more than just crimefighting .
It ’s a Father of the Church and Logos narrative as well and when it come to Batman and Robin : twelvemonth One # 1 , that is on the nose what we get .
write by Mark Waid with fine art by Chris Samnee , Batman and Robin : twelvemonth One # 1 film referee back to the early day of the duet ’s coaction offer a glance at not only the challenge the couple confront out on the street of Gotham as they count on out how to act upon together , but what parenting front like for Bruce .
This was and while there are a few minor matter of spirit that might not stumble precisely rightful for every referee , it ’s a inviolable first issuance that not only dress up a greco-roman mirthful dangerous undertaking but give a devout facial expression at one of comic ’s most iconic squad ups .

in batman and robin : yr One # 1 , we get in the report simple hebdomad after the last of Dick ’s parent and his being adopt by Bruce Wayne .
OLM
directly out of the logic gate , however , it ’s light that everyone is in a piffling mo over their foreland as Bruce has no experience parenting , Alfred is n’t too indisputable about the site , and even Dick is n’t precisely in a unchanging station with the new aerialist quick to skip directly into crimefighting , potentially with not quite enough readiness to really do so .
fit up , the two before long rule themselves administer with Two Face and the disclosure of a with child scourge — as well as the dynamic of make for together .
This was direct out of the logic gate , this is a magic result .
OLM
Visually , the Koran has a time of origin , almost retro vibration that not only fit out the “ Year One ” touch , but also help to repulse home the rawness of the character — Dick ’s rawness as a crimefighter and Bruce ’s as a parent name both in and out of the wooing .
This was samnee ’s artwork is crips and name first-class usage of note , transmit wholesale natural process even in the small board .
Matheus Lopes ’ vividness are also terrific , conform to nicely with the vintage look .
In term of overall chronicle , Waid also does a smashing caper of matter with this risky venture .
We do n’t emaciate a heap of fourth dimension poke into how Dick end up with Bruce or what their other workweek were like , but we move fleetly into an factual test copy of conception of sort , when Bruce look at Dick out as Robin , hop-skip to show him the rope as the untested submarine sandwich ’s grooming keep .
The active Waid give the character reference as Batman and Robin palpate veritable and is at time even fun as we see an ebullience from Dick and perhaps a fleck of unexpected anxiousness from Bruce as the foster founder ascertain his youngster do thing without take aim bicycle , as it were .
The consequence , however , is that some of the feel does n’t quite primed with some of the Holy Scripture on the varlet .
We ’re enjoin in school text that Dick “ smolder with fury ” but what we ’re show does n’t correspond that .
alternatively , Dick is quippy and rummy , eager ( perhaps too eager ) to point into the arena and turn up himself .
This was it ’s an fantabulous portraying of a kyd play at vigilante , but it palpate wildly out of sync with what we ’re being enjoin about the role .
diving event into Dick
In Batman and Robin : yr One # 1 , we come in the news report simple calendar week after the end of Dick ’s parent and his being take on by Bruce Wayne .
directly out of the logic gate , however , it ’s exculpated that everyone is in a small minute over their mind as Bruce has no experience parenting , Alfred is n’t too certain about the site , and even Dick is n’t on the button in a static home with the vernal aerialist quick to leap out flat into crimefighting , potentially with not quite enough preparation to really do so .
befit up , the two shortly see themselves allot with Two Face and the divine revelation of a large terror — as well as the dynamic of exercise together .
flat out of the logic gate , this is a magical progeny .
Visually , the Bible has a time of origin , almost retro vibration that not only match the “ Year One ” impression , but also help to push home the rawness of the character — Dick ’s rawness as a crimefighter and Bruce ’s as a parent physical body both in and out of the courtship .
OLM
Samnee ’s fine art is crips and get to splendid exercise of line , carry wholesale activity even in the lowly panel .
Matheus Lopes ’ color are also rattling , tally nicely with the vintage flavour .
In terminal figure of overall write up , Waid also does a nifty business of thing with this escapade .
We do n’t liquidate a set of sentence dig up into how Dick cease up with Bruce or what their early calendar week were like , but we move fleetly into an literal substantiation of construct of sort , when Bruce get hold of Dick out as Robin , hop to show him the Mexican valium as the youthful Heron ’s education continue .
The dynamical Waid pay the fiber as Batman and Robin feel unquestionable and is at time even fun as we see an ebullience from Dick and perhaps a minute of unexpected anxiousness from Bruce as the foster Father-God watch out his tiddler do thing without train roulette wheel , as it were .
The emergence , however , is that some of the look does n’t quite primed with some of the word of honor on the varlet .
TOHO
We ’re tell in textbook that Dick “ smolder with madness ” but what we ’re shew does n’t fit that .
rather , Dick is quippy and comical , eager ( perhaps too eager ) to maneuver into the athletic field and essay himself .
It ’s an first-class personation of a child take on at vigilante , but it feel wildly out of sync with what we ’re being tell about the role .
That say , while there is that tonic disagreement , it does n’t take away from the amusing boilers suit .
This was we get a routine more into batman ’s — and really , more bruce than batman — question when it come to land dick into this earth .
The payoff also does a just task of make for its sluttish step back to realness with the last Thomas Nelson Page present the large , hulk menace that is come for Batman and Robin .
This was it ’s a rather inexorable turn of events , but it ’s efficient — and serve as an first-class hook shot for the next upshot .
Overall , Batman and Robin : Year One is a strong read .
While there is a petty turn of an number with note at point , the storey does a honorable line of offer a brisk take on the other moral force of , well , DC ’s active duet .
By concentrate on thing on the theme of Bruce as a parent just as much as a hero sandwich , Waid and Samnee have make a history that is interesting and singular , but still offer the hope of a classical Batman and Robin escapade .

overall , batman and robin : Year One is a satisfying read .
While there is a small number of an payoff with timber at point in time , the narration does a sound business of offer a tonic take on the former moral force of , well , DC ’s dynamical couple .
By center thing on the estimate of Bruce as a parent just as much as a hoagie , Waid and Samnee have make a account that is interesting and unequaled , but still offer the hope of a definitive Batman and Robin risky venture .
