I'd pick up this issue of Batman if you're an art lover. The artwork in this issue is amazing, and was even bragged about on comicvine.com. One panel of the batcave is stretched out across four pages worth of material and is absolutely breathtaking. There are a few shortcomings in other places. The story is mediocre, but my biggest concern is Batman. Like in the
Batman/Spawn crossover, I think this Batman is completely differently from the caped-crusader we've come to know and love. He complains throughout the book about the new Robin and is sometimes down-right cruel to him. But the artwork alone gives the issue 4 stars.
