 Good story, good art. June 10, 2007

This story takes place right before the first Robin (Richard Grayson) starts working steadily with the Batman. It gives us a good insight on his thought process and we can see some of his innocence when going through the test.
I like the art, which conveys the story very well visually and it had a good ending that shows hope for the future.
I would reccommend this story to all fans of Robin and Nightwing, since he was the original Robin.

Over the years, Batman is one of the few comics that I've stayed interested in (and the only DC), but I really didn't think Gauntlet was that great. It's Robin's right of passage, but the storyline is only mediocre. And even the art isn't that great. But I still like Batman.

After going through Batman's rigorous training, Dick Grayson, the first Robin, is ready to partner Batman in the fight to eradicate crime in Gotham City. But in order to do so, he has to pass his final test: to elude Batman from sunset till sunrise. Things take a turn for the worse when Robin unknowingly stumbles onto something which may cost him his life. Now Batman must race against time to find Robin before it is too late. This is one of the best stories I have ever read. If my memory is right, this is the first Bat book I bought (by the way, I am not a Batman fan). Definitely worth buying.
