JIm FUlner reviewed Born to Kill by Peter J. Tomasi

3 stars

A collection of the first 10 issues or so from the Batman and Robin series after the Flashpoint action caused a reboot. I liked the Earlier ones with Dick Grayson as Batman and Damian Wayne as Robin. Damian is still Robin, but Bruce Wayne is back as Batman (and Grayson appears to be missing, but I'm sure nightwing is out somewhere). returnreturnSome interesting stories. The authors at DC, however, seem stuck on this "Why Can't Batman Kill People" stint. But the experience with "Nobody" was alright. Didnt' leave me wanting more though...
