Patrick Gleason’s clean, heavily inked high-contrast artwork looked pretty solid to me-a bit like Mike Mignola’s, even. There is a consistency to the book that I appreciated: no fill-in artwork, no crossovers, no overambitious storytelling techniques. So, while some of the story rubbed me the wrong wasy, it had more than enough good stuff to make up for it. Alfred even saves Batman and Robin's butts by (remotely) flying a Batplane and shooting at the bad guy! Relax, it's rubber bullets being fired. Tomasi has him acting as the third member of the team.

He had matured so much while working with Grayson, that it was a bit of a let down.

It's a good story, but Damien takes about 20 steps backward in the personal growth department.
