IT HURTS SO GOOD. I'm a huge fan of the Bat Family, but I have a particular soft spot for the Robins - Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake & Damian Wayne. It's so great to see them all here together, even though I was constantly worrying over what would happen next. And then it ended like THAT (which I knew would be the case, but still), and now I need to know what happens next!

I don't know. This could have been better.So there's a bunch of kids, all calling themselves Robin and fighting crime. This is in addition to the usual Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, Damian Wayne, etc. (I don't remember the other one’s name, and don't feel like looking it up. I’d rather spend the energy typing this absurdly long parenthetical …) that we know and love. A liquor store robbery involving the intervention of a Robin goes wrong, resulting in two deaths, one of them a police officer. A new l...

Hmm... not sure I'm a fan of this 6-part (or 9-part, as the collection has 3 tie-ins) cross-over series. It was okay, but it had a few flaws that became obvious with time.So, in multiversal chronology, we are late in the New 52 stretch of history. New 52 was the soft-reboot that rewrote DC history, such that the "now" of 2012-ish didn't have a past that stretched back to 1939, but only back maybe 5ive years. (But the retconns of the New 52 period will be corrected again in 2016-ish and "Rebirth"...

¡Vaya final!

You know, this was pretty damn good considering. I think my biggest complaint is that it was spread out over too many ongoing titles. The arc itself is only 8 or so issues, but it's spread out over several Batman centered titles. Fortunately, I read all the Batman/Robin etc titles so reading this story line wasn't too much extra work. It would be a problem for someone who only reads one or two titles regularly. The art was the strongest aspect. It was consistently wonderful to look at. The story...

This was really kind of a dumb idea. The Gotham city council outlaws Robins so anyone wearing red or yellow is arrested, of course using excessive force. Editorially, this was really poorly put together. The story didn't line up very well at all between issues. The art in at least half the issues was terrible, especially the Robin War issues. They look like they were drawn by amatuers. Really, the only reason to read this is so that the Rebirth issue of Nightwing makes sense.

Truly an abysmal piece of comics writing. Throughout my time reading New 52 titles, I've been met with a lot of steaming piles of trash, but this might truly be the steamiest. I read this only due to its crossover with Grayson (a title I'm thoroughly enjoying), and boy was it a slog. I genuinely think this is the worst New 52 book I've read yet, and that is really saying something.Now, doing a crossover between every B- and C-list title in the Batman family of DC comics obviously doesn't sound s...

A meandering mess with pointless crossovers asking what it means to be ROBIN. That would be an interesting question to discuss, but not like this.

Someone needs to get Tom King some extra-strength Tylenol, because I'm sure his back hurts from carrying this entire event. Robin War is an event with a lot of untapped potential. The original Robins training an entire generation of young blood as the Court of Owls plots from the shadows is a great premise, but this story does so little with it. You have the old blood of Gotham trying to use these kids as pawns while the new blood actively tries to change Gotham for the better. The first two cha...

Robin fans are everywhere and dressing up like so. The Court of Owls takes advantage of it, drawing all of the Robins into the fray. Damian gets the best lines. OVERALL GRADE: B to B plus.

Don't know why I finished this, because from the start I already didn't like it that much...Not worth reading imho.. didn't like the characters, the story, the artwork,... sorry, this was a dud.

Very interesting time frame. I especially enjoyed the dynamics between the four robins (and Duke). I’ve been wanted to learn more about Duke’s origin before he joined the bat family and this was very interesting. Again, the court of owls are an excellent villain in this story and Damian’s character development was a high light (especially his growing friendship with Duke).

The gang of "We Are Robin" joins our 4 living Robins' (Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin, Robin) to combat the rise of the Court of Owls and their Talons'. We really see some great teamwork here, and I love the idea of the Robins' teaching these new vigilante Robins' about it means to live up to the title of "Robin". Would have loved to see Barbara (Batgirl) and Kate (Batwoman) get in on the action, but keeping it "all Robin" worked.Two issues with this crossover title: 1) I feel like I am missing

*Mild spoilers, read at your own discretion.*Robins! Robins everywhere! SO. MANY. ROBINS.This entire volume was so much fun to read because of the interactions between all the past Robins and Damian. Otherwise, the storyline was pretty much meh and only half made sense.I want to say Damian was the absolute best Robin in this but that wouldn't be true. Dick, Jason, Tim and Damian all shone in this, including Duke Thomas. He was the only good addition from the We Are Robin team. All this "You're n...

Pretty good event. I always love the owls

I actually enjoyed quite a bit of this. As far as events go, this was only contained in the Gotham centered books and it worked pretty well. They managed to stick some politics in there with the police brutality angle. For a book based in Gotham, that was an element I actually think they handled pretty well. These kids want to do their part and "be Robin" but mistakes happen (orchestrated by the Court of Owls) and now they're being hunted. While I really didn't care for the Talon stuff in Grayso...

I said it in my review of The Vigilante Business: To me, the "We Are Robin" movement is everything Batman would hate. Untrained children on the streets facing criminals with guns.And I really did hate how everyone kept going on and on about how they are Robin: "I am Robin", "We are Robin", and most of all how Duke Thomas says he is Robin & then isn't Robin multiple times throughout.I actually liked how the volume started with the shooting in the bodega/market. It was a good tipping point, ruined...

More than anything, the artwork is what kept me hooked onto this particular series from start to finish.A group of youngsters in Gotham have decided to take over the mantle of the Robin in the absence of the actual Batman. However, these kids are untrained and an incident was bound to happen and so it did. This led to a law being sanctioned which puts a complete restriction on the activity of Robins called the "Robin Law". This eventually led to the current Robin - Damian Wayne coming to the for...

After reading King's terrible Batman run, it was a relief to see him write these books in a manner that was not aggravating, pretentious and repetitive. People spoke like actual characters here, not like people with brain damage (ok, except the one kid who keeps repeating "I'm not Robin.")But this event just didn't quite grab me. I'm not familiar with Gotham Academy, and I've read and disliked We Are Robin, so a lot of this fell flat to me. There's an interesting idea here, a bunch of kids being...

We Are Robin was a fantastic debut series that had a pretty nice premise to kick things off. Robin War, a major crossover event that affected at least 4 on-going DC comic series and loosely impacted 3 others (tie-ins), also started things off with an interesting idea. However, the idea itself was far from enough to keep this event stable, coherent and worthwhile. But, what exactly is this idea I speak of? It's the sudden and very controversial Robin law, of course! While this gives the story mul...
