This three-issue series continues to shock and surprise, as the battle shifts to the next level with a face-off and ending that will have everybody talking. Who has earned the right to be Batman? Who thinks they deserve it? Robin? Nightwing? Jason Todd? Who will ultimately win the BATTLE FOR THE COWL? "

Jason comments on how they both want the same thing yet their methods are different, then proceeding to shoot Damian in the chest, Huntress and Black Canary arrive, but Nightwing tells him that Jason is his.
Nightwing brings Damian back to the cave to stitch him up and Alfred comments on how Dick should be the one wearing the cowl more than any of the other "Children." Dick discovers that Tim has taken a batsuit to go hunt Jason down.
Black Mask is progressing with his plans to cripple Gotham and brings in Jane Doe and Firefly to cause death and destruction. At the GCPD Gordon and the new DA Hampton, discuss the bus hijacking with Gordon believing the Penguin to be respoinsible, Hampton says he needs more evidence than just Gordon's "hunch" Zsasz cuts off a face of a Officer and gives it to Doe who infiltrates GCPD and shoots the new DA in the neck, and shoots Gordon who was wearing a vest, therefore not being wounded. Firefly and Adam Bomb blow up some buildings causing death and destruction. Black Mask watches over the burning city from a rooftop

Tim follows Jason around the cave until he lands in a clearing filled with curtains, resembling of a house of mirrors per sa. Using a speaker system Jason taunts Tim to become his Robin as he looks rediculous in the Batsuit, while striking from the shadows slicing him with a Bat-A-Rang, before turning to pumeling him with his fists, Tim gets the upper hand with a crow bar he finds on the ground and beats Jason with it, Jason laughs in response as the Bat-A-Rang he was attacking him with is now embedded in the center of his chest, Tim collapses blood flowing, and Jason walks away stating there's "just one left now."

Should Batman be more violent and scary? Can Dick's style make a good Batman? Maybe we'll finally get that team of Batmen seen in Supergirl before.

I loved this comic, this series has bin a great read from beginning to end, and I’m sure people will love this comic, I loved the writers take on Jason Todd’s character as Batman and how he views how Batman's Appearance to Gotham should b.. I've always liked Jason Todd after he came back from the dead, I think he's the guy we all love to hate, and his character is always a pleasure to read... it's like a character I would write.. The Art was great, the storyline was really good.. it's another great part of the series... I say pick it up cuz it's a great read, I see nothing wrong with the comic, So I’ll give it a well deserved 5 out of 5.. Battle of the Cowl still on the top of my reading list!
