After years of rivalry, it’s the showdown you’ve been waiting for…Jason Todd versus Dick Grayson! Who’s the best Robin? Find out this issue! Plus, with the help of an unexpected new ally, Bruce Wayne aims to take Derek Powers down for good. But will the malevolent millionaire’s newfound powers prove to be too much for the former Batman?
After breaking into the industry at a young age, Sean Gordon Murphy made a name for himself in the world of indie comics before joining up with DC. In his tenure, he has worked on such titles as Batman/Scarecrow: Year One, Teen Titans, Hellblazer, Joe The Barbarian, and the critically acclaimed miniseries American Vampire: Survival Of The Fittest and The Wake with Scott Snyder. Murphy also wrote and illustrated the original graphic novel Offroad and the popular miniseries Punk Rock Jesus.
Okay, I have a lot of feelings about this. First of all, I enjoy this series so far and I like how the talk about their feeling. It's not all about fighting crime, it's a lot about repairing their family.
While Jason and Dick are probably not going to be friends anymore, you get to see a bit more of Dick's life (he has a son? I never would have expected it, but it leaves very well.) and he has finally talked it out with Bruce. The only problem is something called Mr Powers. Why exactly would he have to ruin this moment? I'm still screaming inside.

Es increíble ver como en cada entrega, Sean Murphy, más allá (sic.) de aprovechar su reinvención de la Gotham City futurística. Se esmera en llevar todas sus particulares revisiones de la Batfamilia a lugares suficientemente intrincados y profundos como para hacer de esto un gran reclamo para adentrarse en TODO este Elsworld de Sean Murphy como autor completo. Este número vuelve por fin a poner todo el foco posible en Dick Grayson, y su diálogo con Bruce que culmina con la sentencia de que "Batman fue lo que reunió a todo ese corpúsculo de víctimas del crimen que buscan acabar con ello (y la espectacular estampa que seguirá unas páginas adelante) elevan ya esta historia de cara una recta final que esperemos que esté a la altura. De momento, sí que puede parecer que Powers y Terry están bastante desconectados de la trama troncal. Pero espero que Murphy aproveche totalmente los 2 números que restan para rematar esta miniserie (que aunque ya ha confirmado un nuevo spin-off, espero que se abstenga de llevar a este lo que no resuelva en las próximas páginas).
