Dick Grayson ha tomado el lugar de Bruce pero Batman no era solo una capa, la dicotomía y equilibrio entre las personalidades de penumbra y claridad es una sintoma necesario en el avatar del murcielago. Dick es otra encarnación pero en especial otro individuo con diferentes complejos y respuestas a Ciudad Gótica. Un artista del aire y un sarcastico que esconde su positivismo. En una serie de hechos que aparecen desconexos pero que forman parte de un todo, el nuevo Batman visita situaciones recurrentes aunque no por ello aburridas. Sin estar entre mis favoritos, es una buena adición a los misterios del lado mas detective de DC Comics.

My friend Hulk-boy wants me to read this so that I will quit giving my boyfriend Batman 2 and 3 stars. I hate to see Hulk boy cry.

and Batman kept agreeing with him.

So I read it.
I liked it okay! Quit judging me!

Bruce Wayne is not Batman in this book. I had no clue there were other Batman books out there that didn't contain the main man.

Dick Grayson is the Cape Crusader in this version and Bruce Wayne is off recruiting other Batmen to be placed around the world.
The tryouts are NOT included in this book. There needs to be a book with that though. Kinda like Batman American Idol.

The Bat hero takes on several different story lines in this book. He meets up with Old Joker Boy. (who deserved a bit more of the story line)

Then we get introduced to Commission Gordon's son. James Jr.

I need more of this bad guy! He was chilling and why the hell have they not done a movie with him as the baddie? Or have I just missed it?

I really like Scott Snyder’s writing and how he digs into the psychology of his characters, and especially how he uses the difference between Richard and Bruce to provide a fresh take on Batman. I also really dig the artwork by Jock and Francavilla. My one major qualm is that the writing can be a bit too “Sin City” at times with its brooding about Gotham.

My first Dick Grayson Batman story and I loved it. Gruesome and clever, it's a great read.
