Hoookay this is a weird one ! it's not all that coherent either, since basically the first half is Batman running around playing detective and the other half is Barbara Gordon upset because she found out that Jim Gordon may or may not be her real father which is sort of confusing, cause i always thought she was his daughter but apparently she was adopted by him.
i personally feel this is just a unnecessary retcon to create drama coming from an adopted person i can tell you that it doesn't really matter who you're real parents are as long as you have someone that cares about you.
honestly the only reason i got this issue was because it had Babs being shot on the cover and so i thought it be a series of flashbacks about how she got thru that mess physically and emotionally but of course that has absolutely nothing to do with whats inside.
anyways towards the end this gets really over the top with Batman saying he doesn't really wanna know about all this personal stuff and Barbara chastising him for not being a better adopted father to the new Robin (i'm assuming shes talking about the new Robin could be Dick for all we know)while Barbara is screaming at him Bats just makes these hilarious grim pouty faces and then after she stops yelling at him there is a really uncomfortable scene where Bats tries to kiss her on her forehead, i don't know i don't think i can handle Batman as touchy feely sensitive guy too much (thats not to say i want to see bat dick again)maybe Batman isn't suited for x-men level soap opera dramarama?
anyways i give this a D.
