As Red Robin (Tim Drake Wayne) and Tam Fox are surrounded by the Council Of Spiders, Tim is planning on how to take down the Council one by one; listing all of their strengths and weaknesses, as well as how he is going to fight them.
Tim shows a mastery of knowing his surroundings. As the fight begins, Ra's is watching the fight with an unknown woman from a building in Gotham. The unknown woman mentions how Tim is going to die there, but Ra's disagrees by saying, "Tim Drake is not Bruce Wayne. He isn't Grayson, or Damian. Drake is different... Look behind his eyes. I suspect he's already won."
As the fight continues, Tim has an inner monologue that states how he has been "hesitating, second guessing, and pitying himself." Then continues with by far the best scene Yost an To have created in Red Robin. In unison with the fight and monologue, Tim recounts everything he has learned from his teaches and peers while using these different skills on a different member of the Council of Spiders. Syncing the techniques of Lady Shiva, Ducard, Dick Grayson, Conner Kent, and Bruce Wayne.
As the fight draws to a close, we finally see what Red Robin has been doing with the League of Assassins this whole time, trying to destroy them from the inside.
The book closes with Ra's revealing his next move, destroying Wayne Tower and Wayne Enterprises. Tim Drake Wayne is now set to return to Gotham.
Red Robin seems to be the only Bat-Book to be moving forward towards something greater. Which is fitting seeing as how Tim Drake Wayne, and subsequently Red Robin, is moving towards something greater as well.

I loved this book. I agree that one of the best parts was when he was going through all of the people he learned from.
