Tomasi & Gleason are winning my fanboy heart with each new volume of this series. There are still plenty of tricks left for the Wayne family.

The first half, a typical Batman-in-god-mode story. I wanted to see what the Hellbat armor was all about, but the forging and explanation of the armor was in the previous volume, I guess. So, while totally badass, I was quite confused with how the suit actually worked.
The second half, stained family dynamics. Damien has super powers for, like, a day or two? I dunno, I got bored quick.

It started out strong. Damian is my favorite Robin and I really liked everyone's single focus. The only thing I didn't like was the last story. The artwork was so different from anything else in the book and I just didn't care for the style.

Oh Damian, I'm so happy to have you back, you little weirdo.

I definitely enjoyed this more than the last volume. As far as finale's go, this is one of the better ones in the New 52. Some of that familiar joy from the early volumes returned, Damian is bullheaded and stubborn as ever. Only, this time, you get the sense Bruce chides him in a fonder way than before.

Damian's resurrection left him with some super powers that, strangely enough, seemed slightly kryptonian? He has heat vision, he can fly and he can't be injured by bullets. The heat vision was the only thing I really questioned.

I enjoyed seeing Bruce, Alfred and Damian (and Titus!) get back into the swing of things. Alfred and Bruce working to try to figure out Damian's powers and drain them. I realized a while back that the Batfamily is the only family where no one has any super powers. (I thought about the Arrow Fam but Black Canary has abilities). It's interesting that that's one thing the entire Batfam has in common.

Anyway, solid recommend because it's a pretty good curtain call on a series I enjoyed.
