This was a odd comic because it basically was telling a current story while keep flipping back to the good old times with the old style Batman, and I felt it clashed pretty hard at times.

The thing with Kevin Smith is when you pick up his book, you're going to get Kevin Smith humor. You don't like that? This won't work for you. With Batman getting a new sidekick he begins to go back in his mind of different heroes he fought with and against. At the same time he's falling in love again and this time the relationship is turning more serious than ever before.

Good: I actually liked Batman fucking smiling. I'm not convinced Bruce needs to always be a mean-tough-brooding guy. He can have fun and smile while still putting on his Batman show. I thought the moments with Robin and Nightwing worked. I actually liked the new sidekick too and the twist at the end was oh shit.

Bad: The twist at the end is oh shit but we will never get a conclusion it looks like, which sucks. I also the love story was done well enough but it came out of nowhere and was rushed through it. The artwork was also kind of wonky.

Overall, fun, but not his best. I believe his Daredevil and especially Green Arrow are far stronger than either of his Batman books. a 3 out of 5.
