A very strong annual.

The first part is the best part. Gives us the origins of the heartless villain and now I'm 100% invested in him and how he'll be a big bad for Dick. The second story is cute, about Hayley the dog hero. Last story is about Nightwing training Jon Kent (Superman) and it's pretty great to see how he trains him verses how Batman trained Robin.

Overall, really solid issue with a lot of "heart" get it? Heart? Hahaha...okay leaving now.
