This is just plain fun. It leans into a lighter, sometimes silly tone, but there’s real heart underneath it that keeps things grounded. The dynamic between Jon Kent and Damian Wayne is the clear strength here — their clashing personalities, gradual trust, and genuine growth give the story more emotional weight than you might expect at first glance.
The action is energetic and easy to follow, the pacing keeps things moving, and the character moments land well without ever feeling heavy-handed. It’s focused on being entertaining, accessible, and character-driven, and it succeeds at all three. Overall, this is a genuinely good time and an easy recommendation if you want something light, fun, and well-executed.

3.5 stars. Not essential reading, but if you’re interested I’d recommend getting from your library or reading online. Only buy if you’re a sucker for Jon and Damien like me.
I think the character work in this is excellent. I really love the way Tomasi characterizes the Super and Bat Families. The characters are all endearing and they make you want to root for them. This series so far suffers from the same issues I had with Tomasi’s Superman run which is the character work and dialogue is always on point but the plots are just incredibly boring. There was a bunch of plots here that felt like a chore to get through and Jimenez’s insane art felt crammed and rushed and at times uninspired. There was a cross-dimensional arc that started great with some aging and de-aging antics but quickly became some generic slop as it went on. Again, characters and dialogue kept that arc afloat. There was an arc with the Teen Titans and an alternate dimension Tim Drake that was actually very good but its ending was just kinda slapped together. Actually the starts of each arc are done really well but they never fully pan out. The endings always feel like an afterthought to Tomasi. The character growth at the end of each arc is built well and believably but the plot is just clearly not a priority.
Anyways, this is the series that made me a fan of Damien Wayne, oddly enough. I also collected it simply because I wanted to have all of Rebirth Superman stuff. I have flipped through the second and final volume in this collection and it looks a lot better. The art looks cleaner and the hints at stories seems to be leaning into the more Saturday-morning-cartoon-fun I was hoping for but we’ll see!

The adventures of Damian Wayne and Johnathan Kent, the sons of Batman and Superman. This was a fun read with stunning kinetic art. You would think that the personalities would clash being that wholesome John was raised by Clark & Lois and dour Damian growing up in the Assassin's Guild and mostly raised by Talia Al Ghul and later being reared by Batman.
They balance each other very well each learning from one another.
Of course Damian being the adventurous one of the two tends to get John in quite a number of dangerous predicaments.
This is all in the name of fighting injustice of course.

Was unsure if I would like this going in, ended up not being for me. Jon just isn’t compelling to me as a character, and Damian has better stories elsewhere. Art varies but for some reason I don’t really like Jimenez stuff.

The stories are charming, but for me the real revelation of this book is how much I like the art of Jorge Jimenez. His kids have that gangly quality that made Humberto Ramos's Impulse so much fun, and I can't get enough of it.
