Had this shown up between the conclusion of "Battle for the Cowl" and "Batman & Robin" #1, "Batman" #687 might have felt a little smoother. Tony S. DanielSandu FloreaIan Hannin Instead, it just feels like a step backwards.

This 40-page issue explores the final moments of the Battle for the Cowl as the new Batman learns that winning the Cowl comes at a high price! It's a final moment of transition as Nightwing needs to be talked into becoming the new Batman, with his new Robin already waiting in the wings, and Alfred finally getting to grieve for the loss of his beloved Master Bruce. Dick arrives and defeats Phosphorus, after that he tells Damian his errors on the battleground and then they go to the Batcave. A one-stop shop for all things video games. Dan DiDio After rescuing Damian from his ill-equipped attempt to take on Dr. Phosphorus on his own, Dick realizes just how much training the boy soldier still requires. Er, not quite.

The police is having problems because the terrorists have an arsenal to invade a little country. Batman #687 functions, essentially, as an epilogue to Battle for the Cowl, revealing some of what transpired between the end of that miniseries and the beginning of Batman and Robin. As Alfred watches in the Batcomputer a situation with terrorists and the police, we are brought there.

It at least attempts to do something with the various characters and their facing up to a world without Bruce – it’s true that the overwrought, borderline-emo Dick is a regression from the character we read about last week (and that’s endemic, really, of the fact that this issue really should have come out first – purely chronologically it’s much earlier, even setting up Dick’s residence in the penthouse), and that what is a nice moment with Alfred (“My son has died”) is a bit of a rip of something Tomasi did better in Outsiders – and there’s actually a progression, development towards Dick’s decision to take on the role, something that Battle singularly lacked. Dick Grayson now finds himself the world (or at least all of Gotham) seemingly on his shoulders but still cannot bring himself to adopt the cape and cowl as his own. I feel bad for Judd Winick, here. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm; Batman & Mr. After this Robin happily comments the attack and says that he could even have the cape and cowl.

This just wasn't fair to everyone involved, unfortunately. It was published on June 10, 2009. It's a glimpse as to what we might have seen had the publisher decided to go about things slightly differently, almost like it slipped through from an alternate Earth. Batman #687 An epilogue to "Battle for the Cowl" might not have been so bad, had "Batman & Robin" #1 not already been released. He cannot be allowed to watch while Grayson himself earns his on-the-job training in the more difficult cases. I suppose we should be grateful that Winick has rolled up on the main Batbook again, and it’s not an unmitigated disaster.

Back to the present, Alfred discovers that Damian is missing. Er, not … The overall look isn’t helped by a muggy colouring job, but it’s clear from two panels in particular that Benes is far from on his top form – firstly an utterly wretched version of Alfred as he looks folornly at the Batman and Robin costumes in glass cases, and then a final-page splash that should be exciting and inspirational, but which just leaves you wondering where the traditionally lithe, former acrobat Grayson got his Liefeld-esque arms and legs from.
