Eu realmente não esperava algo tão bom como a finalização desse arco. Uma ótima exposição da relação entre pai e filho mais a questão do vigilantismo. Simplesmente Realmente muito bom! ( )

I'm still in my Damien kick for comics, very good story with villain Nobody as Damien tries to control his rage and meet his father's expectations.

Only thing that lowered the score on this is the fact that I have trouble enjoying the artwork when getting the Hardcover collections. Yes, I could've waited til the paperback version came out or gotten the separate issues but both of those would've meant a longer wait and like Damien, my patience isn't that good. ( )

I enjoyed reading this book, which is primarily how Bruce Wayne interacts with his son Damian. As a quote says in the book, Batman may be the greatest detective, but he is not the greatest father. ( )

Okay, there's a villain here. Nobody, who is Morgan Ducard, son of one of Bruce Wayne's early trainers. From that--and this being a Batman and Robin story--you can tell it's just full of Daddy issues. Morgan's with his father; Damian's with his; and Bruce's giant ball of issues about whether or not he's able to raise a child, especially a child like Damian. This is definitely a story about the characters, about Bruce and Damian--and Batman and Robin--learning how they fit together. ( )

Wasn't a huge fan of Nobody, but the Bruce/Damian interactions were great. ( )
