I loved this collection. The stories are beautiful and fun as well as so so necessary. I do still miss some of the connection to characters and stories I'm not as familiar with, but they're still good and impactful. I loved the additional material in this anthology so much more than last year's. Allowing the multiple issues of Tim Drake's realization and coming out allows his story to be felt and understood so much more. And Kevin Conroy's Finding Batman is.... I don't even know if I have the words. It's haunting and devastating and sad, but also soulful, honest, heartfelt, inspiring, and beautiful. The Batman of a generation was queer and used all of his life experiences to bring to life one of the most prolific comic book characters. That MATTERS. He matters. And him writing this comic and DC including it matters. His death was tragic and we lost him far too soon, but having this comic is a beautiful tribute to his life. I love that they put these anthologies together and can't wait to read more of these young character's stories.

Giving this a 5 despite Jon Kent's story. Everything else was amazing.
