  At it's core this is a Batman-family book; telling the story of how Batman and his crew of Robin's try and take down the return of one of their greatest foes. Technically, yes, it is a sequel to Batman and Son, telling how Ra's Al Ghul returns. But don't think of it as such or else you be left a little disappointed. Fans of Tim Drake and Dick Grayson should love this, seeing how those two haven't teamed up with Bruce in awhile, but the distance between this book and the consistence in writing and art you got in Batman and Son is great. Skip out on the hardcover, get the paperback, go into it with a light mindset, and pay attention when Batman and Ra's go head-to-head.I can't bring myself to score this very high. Each creative team in their own title did a pretty good job, but as a collected book that sits on the shelves at your comic shop or Borders sporting a beautiful cover luring you in and making a promise of a great self contained Batman story, it falls short.
