A fantastic addition to the Convergence series! I love the dynamic between Helena and Dick, and how their reactions and actions are so different from one another. The Robin+Batman suit is ugly to be honest, but the significance behind it is heartbreaking.

Convergence was one of the worst events in DC Comics' history. Still, the central conceit is one with inherent interest. It was pretty damn neat to see pre-Crisis characters interacting with Charlton characters interacting with WildStorm characters interacting with New52 characters. However, nothing could truly redeem this inchoate dumpster fire of a big DC superhero comics event. The plot makes no sense, the saintly Len Wein's dialogue and exposition belong in the early '70s, and Denys Cowan's artwork (whom I love and respect and admire) is nothing more that rushed, rough sketches colored by Bill Sienkiewicz.
