Father-Son Relationships (spoilers)
By Jose Ibanez "woofboo" - May 28, 2008While the events of this graphic novel depict the return of Ra's Al Ghul to the land of the living, I noticed that the real theme of the story was about the relationship between a son and his father. Batman and his two adopted children, Tim Drake (the 3rd Robin) and Dick Grayson (Nightwing), join forces to protect his only biological son, Damian. In the mean time, Ra's Al Ghul is again presented as the complete opposite of Bruce Wayne, as it shows glimpses of his relationship with his father and son. While some thought the action was a little sparse, to me, the relationships explored here were far more interesting.
Damian, Bruce Wayne's son and Ra's Al Ghul's grandson, plays an integral part in the plan to bring Ra's back to life. He has been raised in the lap of luxury and has known no hardship.

He's Back
By Jon Repesh - May 20, 2008This trade is the latest entry in what's become a subgenre all its own, the multi-title Batman crossover, a successful and prodigious format that still has many critics. The melding of different creative teams can be a recipe for failure, hence the saying "Too many cooks..." This story regrettably illustrates that main point, the surprising irony being that the big guns of Grant Morrison and Paul Dini are the ones who don't carry their own considerable weight and let the rest of the team and project as a whole down. The saving grace comes from the unexpected but certainly talented pens of Peter Milligan and Fabian Nicieza with their respective Robin and Nightwing issues, in the process making it a Robin/NW story moreso than a Batman one. The central attraction here is not so much the welcomed return of Ra's, which is still unclear and confusing, but the temptation by Ra's of Robin regarding the possible resurrection of all the loved ones he has lost, with Nightwing right beside him... read more
