    Daddy Always Care

    Summary:

       As a old crime villain in Batman's past suddenly appears, Dick and Damian is faced with a similar old situation. Also it takes the Bat Family to teach a lesson to the still learning Damian. 
     

    The Good:

       Ever since issue 700 we've been seeing the past. It's hard to complain since each have been so good and for sure you can add this in that collection. One thing that separates this issue from that collection is "Daddy Issues". Of course Damian acts out  and says his father wouldn't do it this way but takes Dick to show how he would have done and how they are not that far. To me that is a lesson anyone could cherish. 
     

    The Bad:

       Flash-back issues are great but they could become similar. Again we see Dick's past where he doesn't agree with Bruce and lashes out , but haven't we seen this a million times before?!? Now it just becomes less original.
     

    Review: 4 out of 5

       The lesson is key and very "sweet and touching", but a Dick flash-back gets kinda old to see it in Damian  too.

      Gateway me a giant Taco.  The prelude is unleashed, and begins the journey back for Bruce Wayne.

With the missing pages of R.I.P. and Final Crisis (also by Grant Morrison), he is currently focusing on Road Home, Return Of Bruce Wayne, and Batman INC. Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, Damian Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth all star in this amazing issue of the prelude that will start everything! Written by Fab...

      The Good: Character development for Damien. He was at an all time high in bratty spunkiness, and he had it all come crashing down on his head. It was pretty heartwarming. Vicky Vale is as tenacious as a fucking crocodile. THe fact that she managed to turn the tables back on the Bat Family when they turned the tables on her was a brilliant ending. The identity of the Getaway Genius. The backstory of the original Getaway Genius was really nice. Damien made some wild crazy assumptions in the beginn...
