Confession time: I've always been more of a Marvel fan than DC. This series is paving the way towards a reversal of that feeling.

I have to admit, I wasn't sold on this series at first. I think I have changed my mind. I am quite interested in how the current battle will end.

SPOILER ALERT!


This is not the Batman from the 1940's. Bruce Wayne is dead, but there is a new Batman and a new Robin. Nice premise. I'm not the biggest superhero fan out there, but I am willing to give the series a further go.
