    History Old and New


    The current Batman series ends with a beautiful story that shows Batman's continuous battle against evil. Ever since Bruce Wayne first put on the cape and cowl, his battle has influenced many people in fighting crime alongside Gotham's hero. First Dick, then Tim and now Damian. 
     
    And even when Darkseid temporarily defeated Batman, Dick continued the hero's legacy by wearing the costume. In the end, the story is revealed to be told by Damian to a group of kids in a party. Dick and Damian then leave and Alfred gives them their work clothes. 
     
    The issue shows many enduring Batman characters (Robin, Oracle, Catwoman, etc.) showing that characters Batman has inspired in his adventures.
     
    Although some of the parts are forced, this story ends the series in a way that shows that Batman will always live on. 
     
    Good reading!

      My feelings for the DCU rebot aside, this really was a great issue.  The story revolved around the origin of Batman, the origin of the different Robins, and a basic summary of the recent plot points.  The story is told through the narration of Damian and it really flows smoothly, it dosn't feel like you're reading a wikipedia summarry of Batman.  Being a huge fan of Batman, I know essentially everything about the Bat family, so when I started reading this issue I was a bit skeptical that it woul...
