    Short summary describing this issue.

    No recent wiki edits to this page.

    Can the new Batman maintain his grip on Gotham City's criminal element? With Bruce Wayne gone in the wake of Batman: R.I.P., Dick Grayson — formerly known as both Robin and Nightwing — becomes the new Batman. And it's not long before the city's criminals put him to the test!

It won't be easy — especially since he also has to round up a posse of escaped Arkham Asylum inmates.

It does do that, but it tried a little too hard to do it, and made the points too obvious. Overall the plot was alright but nothing spectacular. Judd Winick's writing is not that great, and at times the characters seem really... well, out of character. Like on one page Dic...
