ALL*STAR BATMAN & ROBIN THE BOY WONDER # 4: Out of the Bat-Car-Plane-Sub-At-Last

[The Brain]

Well here is something you may not think I would say about this...but, Jim Lee's art is just stunning, while

 

Frank Miller is having a real hard time moving the story along..... . This is one of the most stuningly

 

drawn books that Lee has ever done IMHO, but the story is just plain slow. SPOILER ALERT!!!!

The Bat-Cave 6 panel spread is just crazy-cool in true fan-boy-spirit.

 

That Bruce KNOWS Clark's secret........sweet.

 

And confrontation at the end with Alfred show how strong an influence he will have on shaping not only

 

"The Batman", but "Robin" as well.

I LOVE JIM LEE!

 

That being said: Am I the only one who thinks the Batcave in HUSH was more detailed than this six page fold out?

[Timulty]

I will say that that cover is great. Probably just because of the coloring alone. I like the fold out. It seems to go on and on. And I like the fact that Batman thinks Superman is basically a BIATCH!!!! Miller definitely needs to pick up the pace.

....In detail YES......In scope......UMM.....NO.

scoop = scope right?

[The Brain]

scoop = scope right?

 

Why of course it does.....Why do you ask.....(see above)

[Timulty]

I ask because you had scoop instead of scope. See above.

I like the story so far..but it is moving slow.

 

I am not sure if I am alone on this, but Frank Miller covers, #3 and #4 Variants are horrible.

You saw the Batgirl cover too, eh? Yep, that girl needs to hit the plastic surgeon. Sometimes I wonder if Frank even tries anymore.

It has been said that Mr. Miller is poking fun at all the people that think that he is only repeating his work from

 

TDKR, and TDK2, a some what tounge and cheek attempt to the whole Batman Dark Knight. My LCS says that

 

once we see as Robin that this book will really take off. As I have said before I am in till the end, so I will

 

just wait and see.

At the rate the books come out, by the time becomes Robin my son will be old enough to be Robin.

And I dont even have a son yet

Quite possibly one of the worst comic books I have read in quite some time. Truly awful. This series is flat out terrible.

[Darrell F]

I didn't care for the story at all but I love Jim Lee's work. It has to improve or I am dropping it and that is rare for me.

I completely agree. Batman is a lunatic in this series and with the long delay, the horrible #3, and now this, I've actually dropped it. Which might be the first time ever for me.

 

I'll just read it when I buy the whole thing in a collection sometime. Miller seems to be in no hurry to tell the story and I'm in no hurry to read it.

 

The Lee pullout was pretty fantastic and I'm sure the Superman/Batman dynamic will be fun.

Gave up after #2, which seems like a looong time ago. Glad to see it was the right decision

[chrisco37]

I quit picking it up after #2, but I still flip thru when it comes out to check out the artwork and read some of the story.

 

The book is terrible, absurd for even a comic book. Miller has become a parody of himself.

[Kevin76]

I'm sure once the book reaches it's TPB form it'll read alot better,the pacing is fine for me since I like it built up slowly rather than having everything in your face and a ton of stuff thrown at you,but the book being late for months on end needs to stop.

Make that three of us...I too dropped the book after #2. Pretty art and stinky writing only fools people for a little while(ask Image Comics about that )
