Batman and Robin Vol. 1: Memento - by Phillip Kennedy Johnson (Paperback)

About the Book

"Damian Wayne is the son of the Batman, grandson of Ra's al Ghul, and Robin--but as he nears the age at which his father traveled the world, one question is on his mind: who is Damian outside of the crusades his family has tasked him with fighting since birth? When he starts to look beyond his life of endless violence, a different way to help the world begins to present itself--but when an enigmatic serial killer known only as Memento returns from Bruce Wayne's past, the Dynamic Duo must muster all their guile to solve this puzzling mystery..."--Page 4 of cover.

Book Synopsis

Gotham City is no stranger to the strange and unusual, but a cult that worships Man-Bat is certainly a new one for the Dynamic Duo!

Plus, Shush continues her quiet reign of terror and horror as both Batman and Robin chase after her. But when a familiar face from Damian's past returns, will he be able to keep his mind on the mission? All this while Damian struggles to keep his public persona as a high school student up -- a big ask for a boy who was raised by the League of Assassins! And what's this about a possible getaway to Dinosaur Island?!
