Excellent comic book continuation of the Saturday morning cartoon that I loved SO MUCH as a youngster. Burnett and Dini certainly have not forgotten their characters' voices, and as a result this comic reads like a natural successor to a show that ended 25 years ago (or so). I loved seeing characters such as Azrael, Deathstroke, and the Red Hood for the first time in this universe! And it was delightful to catch up with old friends Alfred, Dr. Leslie Tompkins, and Comissioner Gordon.

It had some nice moments and the art arose my nostalgia for the timmverse, but the story itself... what a tired, infuriating adaptation of such a great arc and character. Introducing Jason to BTAS *could* be done, I suppose, but a.) it would need to be done very, very differently to be something interesting, as this version of Tim already has a lot of him; and b.) the way it's done here... completely misses the point of the character AND his Robin era IMO. Alfred's attitude towards Jason (social determinism + insults, really) was particularly enraging.

I always enjoyed the animated Batman TV series, so this was a perfect continuation. The art style matched the series exactly, and the stories were an interesting blend of fun comic book action and serious story telling.
