Batman's sidekicks may be embroiled in the weekly saga that is Batman and Robin Eternal, but now there's another Robin-centric conflict bringing everyone together. Robin War #1 kicks off a crossover that will run through several ancillary Batman comics for the next month. This opening issue introduces a conflict not unlike Marvel's Civil War, as one of Gotham's new Robins accidentally sparks a tragedy and a new wave of anti-vigilante sentiment rises up in Gotham City. It's a solid premise fro a crossover, but one that doesn't quite succeed in the execution.
Writer Tom King has all the right ingredients in this issue. Seeing the We Are Robin cast butt heads with the likes of Damian Wayne, Tim Drake and Jason Todd is a lot of fun. Damian especially is a hoot as he makes it abundantly clear how little respect he holds for Duke Thomas and his group. It's also great to see the Court of Owls brought back into the forefront as the secret hand pulling the strings of the conflict. This shadowy band of villains has potential for far more outside of Scott Snyder's Batman run, and now other writers are beginning to seize it.
