May 7, 2011 10:08 am I had the same problem with this arc as I did with the "Eye of the Beholder" arc, which is that they start strong but they end up making no sense.  Did Azrael really not know Ra's al Ghul was pulling his strings?  Is Dick really so emotionally fragile that a questionable childhood decision leaves him so fraught that he can't even function, putting all of Gotham at risk?  This arc had some pretty decent moments (I think the "Red Robin" issue was the best), but I'm left yet again wondering why I collect any Bat-book other than "Detective Comics."

March 18, 2011 3:40 pm I just don't understand why Bendis thinks I'm going to buy that he's going to kill off Mockingbird.  I mean, srsly?  You resurrect her two years ago (or, at least, reveal she was a Skr...you know, I actually don't even want to think about it too much) and you want me to believe that you're going to kill off her character AGAIN?  I'm not buying it.  So, because it's clear he's not going to kill her, I spent most of the "Mockingbird is DOWN!" parts of the issue rolling my eyes.  Ugh.  I thought the Nick Fury Avengers rocked, though.
