    It's funny, I've been wondering what would happen to all these new Batmen from Batman, Inc.  I was sad that only Batman of Africa was getting his own book.  And with Batman, Inc ending - what would become of the rest of the Bat-UN?  Well, this...this is what will happen.  These new characters will appear in other books when Batman leaves Gotham.  It's a shame because Batman is almost always in Gotham so does that mean we won't see these guys?  Well, probably not for a few months after the revamp.   
     
    At any rate, Batman (Dick) and Robin team up with Nightrunner (Batman of France) to catch the French Arkham escapees.  I was a little disappointed only because from the solicit it appeared that they would be going to Le Jardin Noir.  Also, I DO agree with the CV reviewer that it's not as great a last issue as, for example, Detective Comics.   
     
    However, I thought the art style, titles, and dialogue went PERFECTLY with the fact that it takes place in the Louvre.  And, of course, we get to see an awesome villian that some people had predicted back when Batman, Inc started.  Let's just say, I hope he teams  up with his counterpart in a well-written story because that could be AWESOME! 
     
    Not an awesome ending for the series as it doesn't deal with anything about Dick and Damien's relationship, but I really, really enjoyed it.

      First Word Dada. Hine has turned one of the simplest concepts, one of the first words a child ever learns, and defined this comic with it. It's something not many people will get (Honestly I only know about Dada because of Morrison's Doom Patrol.) But ti's genius. Proof that all of life and death is but a pointless dance of actions and desires.   Altered State Greg Tocchini's artwork still isn't something I'm keen on, but he was actually a good fit for this issue, and it's the first time I can ...

      Batman and Robin team up with Nightrunner to restore order after a prisoner break takes place at Le Jardin Noir.    The Good This cover's absolutely gorgeous and amazing on every level. Honestly 90% of me buying this issue was due to this cover.   Normally I'm not a fan of Tocchini's work, nor am I a fan of two artist doing pencils in the same issue. It's often distracting and jolting and hampers a read for me. This go around there's no such trouble here. This kind of surreal imagery of this sto...
