This is getting close to when Dixon leaves the Batman main title and just writes Nightwing/Robin. And you can tell why editorial might have given him the boot.

It's not to say these are awful stories. Some are pretty solid. The best one in the collection would probably be Knight out for being silly but fun and the Final Night tie in which shows off Gotham in a different way but also Robin, Huntress, and Batman. The others, especially the riddler story, range from decent to bad. I really think this series was missing direction and went for a more Saturday morning cartoon feel but without the fun part.

Overall, this is probably Dixon weakest Batman collection to date. While I enjoyed moments I can't say any will stick with me. Even Legacy, the second weakest of Dixon stuff, has something that this was missing. Maybe Urgency, or stakes, but either way this one failed to deliver either.

A 2.5 out of 5.
