    The End.... For About 3 weeks


    My feelings for the DCU rebot aside, this really was a great issue.  The story revolved around the origin of Batman, the origin of the different Robins, and a basic summary of the recent plot points.  The story is told through the narration of Damian and it really flows smoothly, it dosn't feel like you're reading a wikipedia summarry of Batman.  Being a huge fan of Batman, I know essentially everything about the Bat family, so when I started reading this issue I was a bit skeptical that it would be boring for me.  That skepticism was immediatly shot down by the way Nicieza wrote this issue.  Although it is essentially a recap, he still finds room to add some characterization to Damian.  I hated Damian as a character when he was first introduced, but through the efforts and skills of different writes I have really come to like him and I see some awesome potential story-wise for him in the reboot.  All in all this was a very good way to end the series (Numbering).  Any Batman fan should pick this up.

      Batman's History 0

        Cover I got this issue on a whim. I saw the cover and saw Red Robin, Bruce, Robin, and Dick on the cover and knowing it was the last issue for this series I decided to pick it up. So, I thought the cover was pretty great. Story Damian tells a story about the history of the Bat family. Best Part The best way to end this series was explaining what went on for 713 issues. There was so much that has happened, a lot of changes and a lot of people who had come and go through the Bat family....
