Batman: Son of the Demon by Mike W. Barr
3.0
This was pretty good, overall. Batman's relationship with Ra's al Ghul is revisited and placed in a somewhat different light, and Batman's longstanding relationship with Talia is rekindled.
I agree that the conceit of Batman working alongside thugs with machine guns doesn't fully work, but he does inject his moral code into their ranks and disciple at least.
This story inspired the Batman & Son storyline by Grant Morrison nearly 15 years later, and I've always been intrigued by Batman's tumultuous relationship with Ra's al Ghul and Talia--they're somewhat family to him, and this is a solid extension of that.
3.5 stars
