I really hope that he comes back again in future issues since this same writer/artist team is running the book right now. The only thing that isn’t explained is how he came across so much advanced technology, but that can be overlooked for now. His motives are understandable and unique and the character design sets him apart from the other rogues. White Knight is a new villain and the foundation is clearly there for him to be a great villain in the future.

There are plenty of plot holes and moments that made me roll my eyes, but there I must say that there is a really cool death trap scene in the story’s final chapter (although I shouldn’t hype it up too much since it ending is a real copout) that’s worth noting. The villain, The Absence, is an ultra-feminist with a hole in her head (literally, it’s a giant hole in her forehead that exits out the back of her skull) who says terrible lines like “You don’t get to ‘mansplain’ to me!” She’s also heavily into advanced technology, has super-intelligence thanks to more oxygen reaching her brain due to the hole in her noggin, and she’s built an entire brainwashed cult just by paying some homeless folk to work for her. Batman is viewed as nothing more than an employee of Bruce Wayne and it’s heavily implied by the villain and other women that Bruce never sleeps with girls. Both Batman and Bruce are a little less cool after this issue. It’s a disjointed, jarring, tale with inconsistent artwork and an absolutely terrible villain.

The first story in the Batman & Robin series not handled by Grant Morrison, “The Sum of Her Parts” acted as filler and stands as one of the worst examples of what a Batman story can be following the Batman Inc. Below you’ll find my opinions on these three tales and my final thoughts on the book as a whole. Also featured here is the “Sum of Her Parts” arc by Paul Cornell and Scott McDaniel and “The Streets Run Red” by current Catwoman and Batwing writer Judd Winick with artist Greg Tocchini.

It’s been great so far), the 3-part story arc of this novel’s namesake “Dark Knight vs.

While Grant Morrison, who started this series, was off writing Batman Inc., others had to step in and take over Batman & Robin and their comics are what you’ll find collected here.
