Red Robin vs. Robin! When Damian discovers that he's on Red Robin's potential "hit list" of bad guys to apprehend, the new Robin goes about proving how wrong Tim was by trying to beat the crap out of him! Meanwhile, Tim's plans begin to flourish, starting with a new role at the Wayne Foundation and a new love life.
Out of all the "Bat family" books I've been reading, Red Robin has consistently been the best. It's actually one of the best books I've been reading from DC lately. Nicieza hasn't missed a beat transition from Yost's run. I'm really almost sad to see Bruce Wayne coming back, because watching his successors pick up the pieces and try to make their own way has been a lot more interesting than the status quo ever was. I hope they'll continue to keep these characters in these identities for a long time. Read Full Review
I absolutely loved this issue. Nicieza continues to show that he is the best man for the job when it comes to Tim Drake and his chemistry with To is simply stellar. When you add in one of the best uses of Damian yet, you have an issue that should absolutely not be missed. If you are following any of the Batman books right now, you absolutely have no excuse for missing out on this issue. If you aren't, this issue is a shining example of why you should be.

Good issue. Im really glad that Tim Drake continues to be one of the most compelling characters in Gotham City. Read Full Review
Neither Red Robin nor Batgirl are typical Gotham residents. They are fun and light-hearted and optimistic. If that's what you want in your Gotham book, then Red Robin should be on your pull-list. I had mused a few months ago that Red Robin as a series was going to hit a wall if the DCU staff couldn't find a new direction to take it. The Hit List arc is not a new direction, but it capitalizes on Tim's strengths (he's the man with the plan) to make this character much more powerful by putting him in the driver's seat. I look forward to seeing where this creative team has him go. Read Full Review
