Robin leaves town to follow up on a new lead in an old case, and his journey takes him to the heart of Pennsylvania for a very odd public event. Meanwhile, Spoiler breaks her promise to Robin. But her quest for closure will lead her to manipulate and lie as she starts walking down a very dark path.
I must confess I wasn't overly impressed with Jon Lewis' work on this series, but after last month's impressive effort I have to say that I'm actually starting to really warm up to his work, as this opening chapter does a fairly solid job of balancing its three plots. Now Tim's investigation into a criminal enterprise that is shipping guns into Gotham City is still in its early stages, so except for being rather pleased to see the story has taken him out of Gotham City there's not much to really discuss yet. On the other hand the plot involving Stephanie's search for the Riddler advances forward quite nicely, as not only do we see her employ a rather clever ruse to locate the villain, but also the Riddler's reaction to the news of the Cluemaster's death was rather curious. As for the plot involving Tim's father, I must say that I found the ghost to be a refreshing change from the regular behavior one expects to see from a ghostly visitor. Read Full Review
