 Was hoping for more. July 2, 2010

I will be writing spoilers. I'm not going to keep it secret because the end is part of the low rating.
I've been trying to get back into Batman for a while. I read Batman & Son and liked it, so I figured this would be a good read.
Sadly, it was not. I have to say, certain parts were great. I thought there was plenty of fighting. Ninjas, of course. And that makes for a fun read.
Damien was incredibly inconsistent. His character was all over the place. I had no idea whether to feel badly for him or hate him.
The overall story was to get Ra's back into the game. It did, but I wanted so much more. They built up so much by having ninja's attack everybody all over the world. It was a pretty huge story.
Then I was getting to the end of the book and noticed there were only a few pages. I had no idea how they were going to finish this EPIC batter between Batman and Ra's.
And the monks come out and shoot some lightning and cause earthquakes.
They all run away.
Batman and Ra's fight for 4 pages. Then they are told the goddess is angry. They run away for a Merry Christmas.
Seriously?! That's how it ends?! I put all this time into this to have the actual fight I wanted to see be nothing!
And I swear, Batman, Robin and Nightwing are all smiling as they run away. No worries, kids! We're alive and Ra's will get away. It's all good!
I would have liked to see the ending be a little more dramatic. At least give me a cool fight scene! If Batman and Ra's actually struggled for a while and maybe looked a little more distressed that they could not finish the fight, I would have been happy.
Nope. Just an angry goddess says go home and you do.
Some cool stuff in this book. They tricked me into thinking this story was cool. Then it just faded away at the end leaving me very disappointed.

After reading Batman and Son (which I gave 4 stars), I was expecting a story as good. I don't like them bringing back dead people as often as they do, but I like Ra's. Based on Morrison and Tony Daniels being involved, I expected a story as good as Batman and Son if not better. I was disappointed. The story spans Batman, Robin, Nightwing and Detective comics. Morrison wrote the Batman parts. Those unfortunately were the only good parts(also the parts from Nightwing were done well - may have to pick up some Nightwing GNs).
One of the biggest problems is that the writers were inconsistent between each other. In one part Damian is a bad-a$$ and in another he sounds wimpy and afraid. He hates Tim, he works with Tim. He thinks he is better than everyone except Bruce, he wants help from whomever will give it. He is trained by assassins and can can fight well and another part of the story Talia is afraid he'll get hurt.
Then there is the portrayal of Alfred who goes from butler to Ninja fighter. And what is up with 3 guys (I don't care how good) being able to take down literally a few hundred ninja assassins. I don't care how good a fighter you, numbers will win out. I could dozens, but hundreds, please.
As bad as the writing was, the artwork was worse. Tony Daniels, excellent. Everyone else, try again. I've never seen Talia look so different from chapter to chapter. A couple of times, I was uncertain it was her.
Sorry, 2 stars is all it gets.
 OK, DON'T BUY THIS GRAPHIC NOVEL March 6, 2010

First, I am a huge Batman fan and this by far was the worst graphic novel starring Batman that I have ever read.
There were obvious parts of the story that were left out of this collection. The writing was also the worst I have ever seen in a collection of stories.
This was a huge disappointment.
DON'T BUY THIS GRAPHIC NOVEL EVEN IF YOU ARE A BATMAN FAN.
Essential Read, but nothing great February 11, 2010

Obviously, you have to read this to keep up with the Batman story. Nothing particularly great about the story. Art is good. The same holds true for the entire sequence (Batman and Son, Rise of Ra's Al Ghul, The Black Glove, and RIP).
It does not rise to the level of Miller's the Dark Knight or Year One. It is not as good of a mystery as The Long Halloween. But, probably on par with things like the Bruce Wayne: Fugitive series.
Like I said, you have to read it, but don't expect anything exceptional.

Overall i enjoyed this story very much. The artistry was wonderful and left me wanting more. It seems to be that many people didnt enjoy the father son storyline, but in the end, it was a great story and did its job as entertainment.
