This volume has a few shorter stories that are a bit cute and then a longer story that showcases Batgirl and Nightwing's relationship and past. [ok, the pet story was cute and all...BUT when Catwoman tells them that her cat is the equivalent of Instagram famous wouldn't that give away her identity? All you would have to do is get batgirl to hack into that social media and get the profile information? I'm overthinking it, it was just suppose to be a cute one shot story. (hide spoiler)]

There has been some character tension between Batgirl and Nightwing for a while, I liked that they brought a mystery in that they both had worked on in the past and had some flash backs that helped build the story and relationship. I wish the flash backs were done a little more smoothly, I could always tell because of the costumes which time they we're in, otherwise took me a sec.

Very nice art, I'm looking forward to the next volume. ~Ashley

My least favorite of the three volumes I’ve read so far. The supporting cast is cut down to just Nightwing and a good third of the book is flashbacks setting up the story as we experience it in the present. It’s a book about how drugs are bad, I guess. Groundbreaking.

Holy fuck I cannot anymore. It broke me. It's so bad. It doesn't even make sense anymore, and the art is at its worst. Even if this is intended for children, children don't deserve this. They deserve good media. DC what were you doing? This is as bad as Burnside.
