The final product of a years long storyline, Batman and Robin Vol 3 ends the mind melting adventure Grant Morrison started a few years back, concluding Batman and Robin's fight against the Black Glove and bringing Bruce Wayne back into the spotlight. If you haven't read any of Batman and Robin as well as Batman R.I.P and Final Crisis, then don't get this because you'll be confused as what the hell is going on. Of course you can still get it, but you'll be missing on vital details and will experience a different story than others who have read anything up to this point. Everything is clearly spelled out, a rare feat by Morrison who can't help but make everything sound unintelligible and mind boggling. It's a race against the clock to save Gotham City from the Black Glove and the Joker, who have entered a dangerous between each other that will destroy Gotham if Batman and Robin can't stop them. There isn't a dull moment in anywhere in this book, every moment is filled with glee, things are kept in a fast pace, leading up to the grand finale that brings a monumental change that is shocking. Probably the weirdest part of the comic is the art, it's a mix between cel shaded and paint, people's faces usually have goofy looks on them that can be distracting. Looking at the unusual art takes awhile to get used to, but other than that the comic is amazing. Definitely a must read for Batman fans.
