Simply put, this is an abomination.

Storyline: ☆Artworks: ☆☆☆☆☆Awesome artworks in this prequel to Grant Morrison's Batman #666, but Andy Kubert is just not good as author as he's good as artist.And the "Cat-Alfred" was really too much weird!

The art was fantastic. The story had a few bits I found confusing because of plot holes but it's worth it for Andy Kubert's art alone. It's beautiful.

Well, the bad reviews are totally justified. Having read Grant Morrison’s Batman run in its entirety, I know Damian Wayne pretty well. And Andy Kubert should know how to write Damian’s dialog better, especially considering he illustrated a good portion of that run. Kubert has always been a better illustrator and this is no exception. The dialog feels off, Damian’s characterization is unsettled (he just can’t decide between killing and not killing), and there’s no real story to the main arc. He’s...

I am putting my love for Damian Wayne aside to write this review. I honestly don't know what to say about this book. I think that I am disappointed? Maybe? If this wasn't so damn confusing, it might have been okay. The timeline continuity is so disjointed that I found myself looking back at previous parts just to get a feel for when things were taking place. There were some real "WTF" moments in this as well. Like a talking cat, a strange priest, a ghost killing himself.....just so much weird sh...

I thought this was super cool. First you have to understand going in that this is a “possible future” for the Batman character. Damian, his son in the comics, has taken on the Batman role and does things well…a little differently. He’s violent and doesn’t think twice about killing any one of the many foes in Batman’s Rogue Gallery. That’s it. That’s pretty much the plot. Damian goes nuts and takes out a ton of baddies. It’s a fun story but what I loved the most was the art. Holy Amazing Batman!

Ouch this one was bad, I mean really, really bad which I knew going in but it didn't lessen the blow of reading this garbage. If you’re thinking about reading this mess take my advice and stay away it’s just not worth the self inflicted torture.

Nice what if story. What if Dick had died instead of Damian? New Batman and new villains.

After read a few pages:Huh. This isn't so bad. Wonder why the ratings are so low?After a few more pages:Ok. Not great, but I'm still interested.And then:*squints...shakes head...squints again*Is that a goddamn Talking Cat?! Oh yeah. It was.Just...kinda started talking for no real good reason.Well, there was a reason, I guess. It just wasn't a very good one.Warning: Potential Spoilers AheadWhew. This was an Epic Stinker. It was one of those stories that started out ok, and then rapidly devolved i...

Soooooooo... this happened. Andy Kubert revisits the alternate Damian as Batman of the future storyline from Grant Morrison's Batman #666 and Batman Incorporated #5 - crucially, without Morrison - and makes a pig's ear of it. In just four issues, he creates an absolutely near-unreadable story of remarkable stupidity. It was so bad I had to write an article about it.

This one was a mixed bag. First off, the art was gorgeous, even if it did get a little confusing at times. Great coloring as well.Now, the story did leave something to be desired. I'm assuming this is an Elseworlds tale, where we see an alternative future. Damian has to take over the mantle of the bat after the death of Batman. He becomes as much The Punisher as Batman, killing several villains. He softens his views, at least to a point, but still uses lethal force in certain situations.Now, for...

If this is what I have to look forward to from DC, I think I'll stick with Dark Horse and Diamond Book Distributors for my NetGalley requests. What a non-sensical, horrific mess that totally doesn't even deserve to have the name Batman stamped on it. The artwork was boring, the plot was thin, overly violent (why does he have to kill EVERYONE???) and what the heck was with the Alfred-cat???!!! No thanks. Just no, freaking thanks at all.VERDICT: 1/5 Stars (lower if I could)**I received this book f...

What a good read! By the looks of things not many people enjoyed this; I guess this is my guilty pleasure then! The Story is Bruce Wayne is "dead" and Damain must take the mantle of The Bat! He of course starts guns blazing! This story was the only time where I liked Damains moral complex of Killing or Saving/Ras's way or batmans way; usually it annoys the hell out of me! Plus the art was excellent! Overall a great read!

How disgustingly deceptive to label this as "new 52" when it all takes place (as far as anyone can tell) in alternate timelines or the future or parallel dimensions or who the hell cares. Avoid like the plague.

Kubert's art saves this from getting the one star the writing deserves. There has to be more, right? So many plot holes, well, not holes, as much as just missing parts of the story so you have no idea what is going on. A great else worlds idea that could have been really interesting failed to live up to its potential.

wow, didn't know anything in the batman universe could suck this much...

Damian: Son of Batman is a limited series published by DC Comics and stars an older Damian Wayne as Robin as he takes the mantle of Batman. Damian: Son of Batman collects all four issues of the 2013 limited series. This deluxe edition includes Batman #666 on which the limited series was based on.Set in the Batman in Bethlehem universe, it shows the journey of Damian Wayne as Robin as he takes on the mantle of Batman, when Dick Grayson as Batman dies in the line of duty, and to find his brother's...

Disappointed he doesn’t once say, “I’M THE SON OF THE GODDAMNED BATMAN.”

This is 1 1/2 stars, rounded up. Andy Kubert the artist is impressive, with detail environment and character work all being very impressive (and the color work was also very good). But Andy Kubert the writer is... not good. The entire plot of this is that Damian is seeking vengeance while also trying to deserve the mantle of the bat. So he goes out and kills people. And then regrets it. There's a random heart attack, a talking cat, a nurse with a weird twang and inappropriate innuendo towards a

Thanks to Netgalley.com for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.The artwork and coloring are first rate, yet the story is what causes this book to get a one star rating. The start is interesting enough with a surprise death, getting my hopes up for future twists. Unfortunately, the storyline went downhill shortly after the beginning. With contradictory characterizations and just out-and-out bizarre additions, I would never suggest this graphic novel to any Batman series fan or anyo...
