    The one where Dick gets beaten

    Sorry couldn't resist throwing that joke in one more time. I'm no better than a Deadpool comic, lol... I thought that this was an okay issue. Other than the first 3 pages I didn't feel that there was much going on. The media takes notice of how Batman is playing by the rules, letting evidence maintain its integrity and what not. Then we have Dick complaining about the suit which I suppose is quite different than how Bruce would have handled the situation. But how long can Dick complain before it gets old? I thought the art work for the most part was good. The writing was ok. The one thing that I couldn't stand was the fact that Dick would smile when he was in the costume. Why on earth would he do that? The villians have gotten their butts handed to them by the dark knight. I can't recall any of them seeing him smile. Although I think that many of the villians know that the current Batman isn't the one they faced before. So once it's caught on camera I think they'll know something is up. I'd get the issue but if one doesn't it's not like they're missing too much.
