The story in this graphic novel takes on too much, some stories are simply loosely tied together and are overly complex for what it is. I enjoyed the relationship between Jon and Damian but I think a less bombastic mission/adventure would have played better.

Batman and his villains always created mayhem wherever they fought, this time the innocent victims are fighting back. They blame Batman just as much as they blame the villains. Batman and his new team take on these troubled folks.
This is truly a cast book. The “Batmen” are just as interesting as the main hero himself, actually they are more interesting. It is refreshing to read a book where the heroes are just as interesting as the villains.
