everybody welcome to episode two of a week in geekdom reviews no i am not gone even though i haven't been here for three episodes on you know the podcast i am still alive and i'm here and i'm gonna do episode two for an an even better comic book than geo did which one do you do uh hey everybody i reviewed i believe it was batman year one on dvd and blu-ray last episode episode one precisely this is even better than that um so yeah one of my favorite new titles from the new 52 batman and robin take a look right there i have every issue by the way it's amazing uh peter j. tomasi did uh did the story uh patrick gleason did the art the art is amazing especially it covers very colorful covers as you can see this is my favorite episode um issue number three um so yeah first off i already said about the art is amazing both inside and outside dude you need to chill seriously all right um the art is amazing as i said very colorful art um but the story by the way i'm advising you guys if you haven't seen it if you haven't read it you probably should do that before you see this review because i'm gonna spoil a whole lot of stuff um basically the story starts with batman and robin the new batman which is again bruce wane since the new 52 and the new robin which is damien so they are adjusting to their new father son sidekick slash relationship because batman is dealing with the fur for the first time ever having a robin that is his son so he's gonna be naturally more protective of him and damien is getting used to having bruce who is a lot more stricter than the grayson was when he was batman so the chemistry is completely different and uh you know their chemistry is rough to say the least because they don't agree with how each other that each one of them decides to do business batman is very straight and narrow the damien is more on the violent side and uh yeah that's basically the whole problem which uh brings into you know the picture the new villain will you see again issue three it's an awesome i don't know this issue um nobody who for one reason or another we still don't well we we do but i'm not gonna spoil that much uh knows who bruce wane is and the problem is that this guy is actually is very well trained like he could go one-on-one with batman he he pretty much beat batman really really bad on on issue three but the main problem with this guy is he's trying to to bring out um how do i say this damien's dark side his urge to kill and you could see it at one of the one uh great finish i think it was issue two you can see uh damien is like getting pissed that he cannot you know go that extra mile which he used to go because he was trained by the league of assassins so he just takes a random bat in the back cave and squashes him and if that doesn't mean that got that that kids got some urge to kill i don't know what else he could possibly get um so he's trying to to get damien uh nobody's trying to get damien to go you know kind of dark side on us like uh anakin skywalker and um star wars reference very big it it's basically this is basically obi one and anakin and uh the emperor this is basically that's basically that's the pretty good analogy of exactly just what's going on right now and um well episode i think it was issue three again one of the best um damien fights some thugs and goes the extra mile and he basically leaves one of them uh i don't know if he killed them or left them like a vegetable you remembered you i think it was comatose i think he left in comatose which is obviously a line batman doesn't cross he'll break every single bone in your body but he won't do that to you and he knows this nobody knows this and he is pretty much bribing uh damien to not tell batman like do as i'm gonna tell you or or you know i might have to tell your dad what you do what you did which is you know it it's pretty it's pretty cool story because if you mess up something like i wouldn't say you messed up something that but we have a at some point we've messed up and we wouldn't want our parents to know especially we look up to them which damien does he just pissed off at you know because he can't go that extra mile uh so yeah i recommend pick each and every one of them do not delay i can't wait till issue five and i gotta wait like a whole month um even though i have a whole lot of more 52 i gotta read i'm behind because i just got basically the best game ever made and i can't believe i'm saying that in skyrim and it's taking a lot of my comic the time but i'm gonna hate you but i'm gonna get back and i'm gonna catch up on everything pick up batman or robin it's awesome pick up batman too it's awesome too and uh so what am i rating this i i i'd like to be conservative and say it's a 4.5 but um i mean it's amazing i i give it a 5 out of 5 i love the art i love the story it hasn't let me down at all at any point yet and i can't as i said i can't wait to get number five so yeah five out of five take that to the bank and buy it so yeah this has been episode two hopefully i'll see you um well not the next episode because that's geo's turn um but i'll probably be here from number four and if god willing i managed to find time and i finish it it'll probably be skyrim so look for that um see you later guys happy christmas merry new year this has been a week in geekdom reviews they know me i'm brian leaders
