This is a fantastic volume! I love the exploration of Dick's first days as Batman and the emotional toll it takes on him. This was really well done.

It was fine. Had some good villain work. Snorted at Clayface eating Dick Grayson. . Not sure it added anything to the Morrison run. Winnick did such a great Superman story that I was expecting more from this.

This was actually pretty good!
It tells the story of Dick as he is trying to become Batman after Bruce's death and his methods and approach is different and we see him face off against Scarecrow and targeting Penguin but its the background stuff like who this new Black Mask is and how is his influence spreading and also the big battle with Clayface and Blanco and later Two-face as he breaks into the cave and how he learns what it means to be Batman.
Its a great volume and just continues to show that being Batman is not as easy as it seems and I love the way Dick approaches it, smiling and all and then him learning you need to be violent with some criminals and maybe coming closer to Bruce. I love his evolution as a character and its really well written and explores different facets and I love the use of Two-face to contrast his nature plus Alfred! The art is really well done here and its cheery and all, so a must read!

Dick Grayson as Batman: Meh. Two Face as Batman (even though it's a hallucination): Awesome. Verdict: It's an okay book.

Really great interactions with Alfred and Dick. This was a good story. I like just how different Dick Grayson's Batman is. I'm interested to see where this goes. The last pages were intense. I hope they resolve!
