DC Comics

Batman & Robin By Tomasi and Gleason Omnibus collects the New 52 father-son run where Bruce Wayne and Damian Wayne become the emotional center of the Batman line. Across 1248 pages, Tomasi and Gleason turn Batman and Robin into a story about grief, training, trust and what family means in Gotham. It is essential for readers following Damian after Grant Morrison, because it turns the Robin role into a lasting Bat-family pillar rather than a simple sidekick position.

Batman: Detective Comics by Peter J. Tomasi Omnibus returns the title to a clean Batman-solo rhythm after Tynion's team era: cases, clues, obsession and Gotham as a pressure chamber for Bruce Wayne's detective instincts. The appeal is Batman investigating again, not only fighting through event machinery.
