The whole drama of this series so far has been about just how far Damian would go. Would he actually kill someone. Well, last issue he did. I expected that there would be a massive fallout from Batman. This is the man who knows 1000 ways to kill someone but doesn't use them. Instead, Bruce dictates a sappy message into an iPod to let Damian know that Bruce knows how he feels. He's felt the same way, he's just never acted on it before. And then they go and play with the dog. I'm a little disappointed.
Things I liked: Tomesi has the character of Alfred down. He was very Alfred in this issue when treating both Batman and Robin.
Things I didn't like: Bruce and Damian on the other hand... I don't like this sentimental Batman. I like my Dark Knight brooding. And Damian's growth as a character under Dick Grayson has been totally ignored. Dick's still been Batman, apparently he was never able to bond with Robin.
