    Do you think this mini-series added anything to "Battle For The Cowl"?  What do you think of Michael Lane being the new Azrael?  Does he fit in with the rest of the "Bat Family"?  Would you buy an on-going Azrael comic in the fall?

    Why are so many characters able to infiltrate or otherwise "accidentally" discover the Batcave?????  SERIOUSLY.  As paranoid and ultra-secretive, cunning, and intelligent Bruce Wayne is portrayed as being, it is such a cop-out to have so many characters know about the Batcave.  He should hire Zatanna for a little "mindwiping".  Anyhoo.....  So...who were the "lady gatecrashers" Nightwing mentions?  Is he referring to anyone specifically that was part of the story, or is he talking about women from a party at the Wayne Manor?  If it's the latter...what exactly did Nighwing DO with the "lady gatecrashers" if he injected them with the cocktail?   Sorry, but EVERY time I hear the name Azrael, I always think of the cat from the Smurfs' cartoon.  Make Azrael a villain down the road, that'd be interesting...MAYBE that will happen?  Who knows?  The Shadow knows.

    I found this mini disappointing. It started out strong but ran out of gas in the second issue. I'll be passing on the upcoming series.

    I can't wait for this series. This book and Arkham Asylum have been the only good battle for the cowl tie-ins, and if Jason Todd lives through Battle for the Cowl A fight between the two of them would be awesome.

    god damn that ending sucked. you'd think that because its the last issue and because its called battle for the cowl this would have something to do with it but it doesn't . this was pointless.everything just seemed too convenient. nightwing has some injection that will make azrael forget just where the bat cave? come on, thats stupid.  the oracle ending was just as bad.

    I was kind of hoping that Jean Paul Valley would come back as Azrael.
