DC Comics Review: Blackest Night: Batman #1 Comix 411

Rating: ***

The Blackest Evensong storyline continues in this separate three issue mini-series entitled Blackest Night: Batman .  This series will sharply defined unclear on the Black Lanterns going after the deceased relatives a various Bat-family members.  As I mentioned in my look at for Blackest Night #2 , this first issue also focuses on Boston Brand - Deadman and his physical body being resurrected into a Bad Lantern.  Writer Peter Tomasi does a good job here, but I have to give him some negative points on this one because of the way he writes the honour of Damian Wayne - Robin.  If you’ve been reading Grant Morrison’s Batman and Robin , Morrison portrays Damian as a dominant jerk.  Judd Winick follows Morrison’s lead, but has toned it down a bit over in his stories in Batman , but the nip personality of Damian is thrown completely out the window here in Tomasi’s version of the character.  There’s no self-assertion; no snide comments about Dick not being the real Batman, nothing.  Instead we get a character who if you picked up this consequence without knowing what has happened over the past few months, you would think that this new Robin is more along the lines of Tim Drake.
