<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Batman created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A great central conflict. --<i>The New York Times</i> <p/>Intriguing. --<i>USA Today</i> <p/>Unlike other Robins, Damian Wayne was trained his entire life as an assassin, and that training fostered brutal methods. As Damian's violent tendencies threaten to end Batman and Robin's partnership, a mysterious killer from Bruce Wayne's past comes to Gotham, looking to end Batman's life.</b> <p/>He calls himself NoBody. He travels the globe in shadow, picking off those he considers guilty and making them disappear without a trace. Now NoBody has targeted Batman for destruction, but first he'll take from him the one thing that matters most. When NoBody offers Damian the chance to give in to his nature, will the newest Robin betray his father to become the assassin he was born to be? <p/>Collects <i>Batman and Robin</i> #1-8.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason are knocking it out issue after issue." --Wired.com <p/> "Powerful effects and sharp characterization." --<i>Publishers Weekly<br> </i><br> "Watching [Robin] struggle to reconcile his mother's cold-blooded anger with his father's compassion and nobility (and not a little outright arrogance from both sides of the family tree) has been one of the highlights of the comics reading experience in recent years." --<i>Maxim</i> <p/> "This is the kind of Batman story I like to read: an actual mystery with an emotional hook." --The Onion/ A.V. Club <p/> "The storytelling is crisp, punchy and clean--in both words and art--even when they both get pretty dark. I think that's what I loved most about this book, the way the two complimented each other so well." --<i>Time Out Chicago<br></i><br> "Rock solid." --IGN<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Peter J.
