"Who..Are...You? I'm NoBody"
Synopsis
Father and son are back together, as Bruce and Damian Wayne form the new Dynamic Duo. There is a shadowy menace on the loose, he is NoBody!
The Good
I found the villain NoBody was introduced quite well, it has this awesome Splinter Cell kind of optical gear with loads of glowing eyes. It isn't afraid to get it's hands dirty, as the fate of Moscow's Batman Inc. representative proves (shame that, he had a badass suit!). I believe that due to NoBody's last line of dialogue, he maybe connected to Leviathan considered it's shared goals. That would be cool if it was true.
Both Bruce and Damian have not been together since Batman: The Return, and their confrontational relationship is still there. Damian still believes he can take on anyone or anything and win, but Bruce won't accept him as a partner until he learns to control himself in battle. This is quite clearly different from the mutual acception Dick and Damian had with each other by the end of their time together.
The Bad
Bruce seems to be taking a lot of flak off Damian, it's a shame because I really liked how well the Boy Wonder started to get on with Dick and now we've gone back to square one now Bruce has taken the helm again. I do hope Nightwing turns up to help settle the animosity between father and son.
Also, those thugs trying to steal irradiated rods from Gotham University and trying to escape in the Batgyro? Not the most interesting of opening battles. Why they could get away in Batman's transport is beyond me.
Conclusion
Silly opening plot aside, the change in the Dynamic Duo and the introduction of the enigmatic villain NoBody was quite enjoyable to read.
