Started off better than where we ended up. Dick is now the new Batman. I for one loved this era. Black Mirror was wonderful and Batman & Robin was really solid. So I was pretty excited to try and read more during that era. Judd Winick is someone I've never read before (yes I know, I have to read Red Hood!) so I went in with zero expectations. Came out a bit sad.

Dick is still learning to be Batman. Alfred is learning to be around the new Batman. Everything is messy but they're trying to make it work. This Batman smiles when he fights, he flips around and is more acrobatic, and the villains notice!

What I liked: The start of it. Like Alfred and Grayson just talking was some good stuff. Them trying to figure this out together I liked a lot. Also the first fight was really fun and showed how different Dick is to Bruce (and better in some ways) and I also enjoyed most of the art.

What I didn't like: Some shots were pretty ugly though. Like odd angles for fighting. I also thought some of the dialog was iffy. Two Face also came across as kind of dumb as fuck and him being the main villain (until the mysterious main villain shows up) didn't do it for me.

I'd rate it around a 2.5 but going with a 2 on this scale because I was left unimpressed. Which is sad, because I love this era for Batman, but this book came up a little short.
