Now we'll see what that murderous little scamp, Damian is up to during the Night of Owls stuff.
Batman and Robin #9:
Story Points:
-Damian is sent to protect a member of the Gotham City(New Jersey?) National Guard.
-Naturally, the Guardsmen aren't keen on the idea of a 10 year old sneaking onto their base, at least until a Talon attacks.
-The Talon shrugs off being shot, and kills several Guardsmen, with Damian managing to get the target away.
-The Talon follows, but the Guardsmen regroup and follow Damian's lead as he calls strategy.
-Damian's tactics work, as he manages to decapitate the Talon, which is an injury I'm pretty sure it won't be coming back from.
Thoughts: This was another good read, probably a bit better than Batman #9 in my opinion. Yeah, this comic DID make the National Guard look like a bunch of scrubs(a 10 year old was leading them!!! they couldn't beat ONE man!!!), but there was a part of me that enjoyed seeing Damian in a military situation... In a way, that's where he belongs. Plus this issue gave Damian another kill(granted, against a reanimated corpse, but still), bringing his kill total up to 2 for the series. Go Damian!
Score: 8 1/2 out of 10.
I believe that the previous murders in the old DCU are still in continuity
ReplyDeleteSo counting his kills in others series pre-New52 The count kill for Damian is 4, Go litle Demon!
"So counting his kills in others series pre-New52 The count kill for Damian is 4, Go litle Demon!" HA!!! I have GOT to remember to call Damian the Little Demon more often!!
