    Dont waste your time and money

    This first issue (and 2nd part) was the pinnacle of the crossover as it planted some serious threads we could see in the real world: what happens when the government installs unconstitutional laws that target everybody for dumb reasons? what are the dangers of vigilantism? why young people shouldn't try to emulate heroes even if they have the right reasons?

    All this starts when a young teen participating of this robin movement tries to stop a burglary on a convenience store but ends up killing the robber and a policeman accidentally; in response, the mayor (or whatever) installs a law that any person wearing red, yellow or green be detained in suspect of being a robin, this in order to become a member of the Court of Owls despite not being a privileged person or even a Gothamite. Of course this doesn't fit well with the real robins, specially the actual one, who thy to persuade the robins to stop but Dick instead thinks they should be trained and so the school of robins enters session.

    As I said the crossover started with an interesting approach but after part 2 (which was written by the great writers of Grayson and show the lessons teached by our 4 professors) it just became a forced nonsensical story entirely different to what it was supposed to be and a huge waste of potential.

    Also there are a lot of artist in this issue and most of the time their styles don't match and in some cases just being bad which became very distracting and created a huge problem in respect to visuals
