One of the best comic volumes I’ve read in a long time. For one, this volume actually tells a single complete story rather than being one portion of an artificially lengthened soap opera-esque drama that never really ends as is true with so many other collections. And what’s here? Awesome. It’s a story about a father and a son coming to know and respect each other - hopefully, anyway. That father/son combo just happens to be Batman and Robin. It’s a simple idea executed perfectly and brilliantly. I’d heard good things about Tomasi’s run on this book and I’m realizing the hype is real.

I really have problems with how DC handles Damian but I think good job.

I actually enjoyed it, but once Damian killed his first person on-page, I got a bit squeamish. The whole concept was too dark for me.

I usually find Damian Wayne to be insufferable, but I could really feel the struggle he was experiencing. Some people have described his struggles as nature vs. nurture , but in actuality, it's nurture versus nurture. The Talia side vs. the Wayne side.
