original) to put things right. The story is often confusing, the multiple artists do not rise to the level that the conclusion to such a monumental storyline would call for, and the segment where Bruce Wayne announces to the public that he has been funding Batman's exploits and is now going global with "Batman Incorporated" does not bode well. Indeed, we do later see that Batman has taken his fight to the international scene, investigating some huge global plot while Dick and Damian mind the store in Gotham. This could work out, but given the handling of this once-promising storyline, I'm not optimistic. Show Less

I like predictable campy stories, and this makes a good bridge between the Batman 66 stories and the Dark Knight stories. This "Batman Incorporated" idea however, I don't see that sitting well.

her back to life. The joker makes his inevitable return and Robin tries to do what his father never could. For a 10 year old kid, he's amazing. I wanted to be Tim Drake when I was his age, I could only imagine how much I would have loved Damian Wayne at 10. I like predictable campy stories, and this makes a good bridge between the Batman 66 stories and the Dark Knight stories. This "Batman Incorporated" idea however, I don't see that sitting well.
