Batman 416 - Return of Nightwing?
I really like Batman and am trying to pick up some copies here and there when I can. This issues just didn't grab me. It felt like I was reading a script to a Dr. Phil show.
Ok, Dick Grayson is back and tells Robin he needs to talk to Batman. We spend many pages going over the personal issues between Bruce/Batman and Dick/Robin. Why Batman sent him walking and how that "made him feel". Maybe I'm not sensitive enough, but it was a struggle to stay interested in this one. Yes, it was good to know how the Joker was the one who shot Dick and that was the final straw to Batman broke off the partnership. Did we need 3-4 pages of Dick hounding Bruce until he got the answer he wanted. Just seemed like a wife hounding her husband until she got the answer she wanted.
Ok, I've bashed it enough.
I did like how Nightwing did have some good things to say to the new Robin. I liked the ending where Batman have the nod of approval.
I will say, I will put this one in the collection, but will probably not pull it back out to read again.
