The plot and artwork were decent, but the character dynamics between Dick and Damian were what kept me invested in each issue. Dick taking on Batman and balancing his version of the Dark Knight while being himself was interesting, especially with him also dealing with an aggressive 10-year-old Damian. I mean, Damian in this volume has to be in contention for one of the most feisty characters of all time.

The first section of the story is paced quite fast and is really interesting as it leads you wanting find out what’s going to happen but after it switches from Jonathan’s first encounter with Count my main issue with the novel occurs, the pacing. Some chapters and character entries drag and feel like they aren’t necessary. I feel like the novel could’ve been cut at least 50 ish pages. Despite these criticisms, most of the story built a sense of anticipation excitedly. The characters are pretty loveable and are surprisingly really sweet with one another, which was an unexpected delight.
