review 1: This is one of my favorite books because dick has to take over and become the batman. This happens because during the infinite crisis bruce dies. Dick took over as batman because Gotham needed a hero. When he was crime fighting people noticed that he look different in combat. People noticed he was more acrobatic. Then one of Bruce's greatest enemies doesn't believe that it's a different batman. Then Dick proves that he is the same and that people can change.
review 2: Okay, so before I say anything else, I'm going to admit to being extremely biased here. My general love for Dick Grayson and the short period in which he was Batman are probably clouding my judgement a bit here, but I honestly can't help it! I loved this comic because it focused on Dick adjusting ... morethe to the role of Batman, while also adjusting the role to fit him. The story is about Dick, Alfred, Damian (to an extent) and Gotham in general adjusting to the changes that losing Bruce Wayne has thrust upon them. In a way, the story is about Dick accepting the fact that he has agreed to take up the mantle, and persuading himself that he is worthy of wearing it. The whole story is very genuinely heartfelt, especially so during the conversations between Dick and Alfred. Even if I am a bit biased and may have rated it too high (at the least I would give it 4 stars), it is genuinely worth the read. less
