Review:

This story is getting even better and better. The story continues where it left off at the end of the last issue with Damian falling into one of Gotham's rivers after his unsuccessful fight with Professor Pyg and his Dollotrons.

Afterwards, Alfred pulled Damian from the water and took him back to the Bat cave to give him medical attention where something tragic happened back in the cave. It was sad because it really was unexpected. But from that experience something rather interesting happened and made Damian's pet cat even more special to him.

Once recuperated, Damian was back to donning the Bat suit and back to taking on the bad guys. First he took on some kidnappers who were going take the kids to Professor Pyg. Then, he stopped by the church for another session of spiritual wisdom but something the Father said struck his curiosity and had Damian wonder just who this man really was. Which also had me wondering who he is as well. Maybe it's Tim Drake or Jason Todd? I do hope this will be answered in the last issue.

Back to the manor, Damian found out his father was missing and found a familiar playing card sitting on the bed. This ended on a cliffhanger with clues leading Damian back to where this story began, the docks with Bruce being held captured as well as meeting the captures face to face.

I'm completely invested in this miniseries and definitely want to know how it ends. Because in this issue Damian is finally heading in the right direction to becoming the hero that he wanted to be. He might not do things as Bruce would have done them but he no doubt becoming a his own version of Batman.

I can't wait to read the last issue.
