Robin's jumped in to the deep end of the pool this issue. He goes in to the Hospital to confront Dodge. Knowing that he's put a team together, but he doesn't know how many there are, or who they are. Let alone their powers. But he does go in . . . without hesitation. We also get a little more of the history of Dodge this issue. He takes out Macro and Micro first. They were bush-leaguers. So they were pretty easy. Then he takes out Tapeworm. That guy really is pretty lame. But he has some problems with Brutus. Think Juggernaut, but Italian, and in an Armani suit. His only real weak point is his eyes. Then there's Cheater. I'm not sure what all he can do, but it seams like he can either phase of teleport. And then there's Skill. She an assassin and she's looking to kill Robin so she can make her bones. Against the 3 of them, Robin really doesn't have a chance, but then Dodge calls a stop to it all because he didn't want to kill Robin. "I just wanted to show him he was wrong to mess with me! Killing him was never part of the plan . ." But these guys could definitely overpower Dodge too . . . and he knows it. So he teleports them all out so they can regroup and come up with a new plan. The 3 of them tell Dodge that they know where he lives and his parents names so he's going to follow along with them. And Skill tells them, " . . . we'll have Robin right where we want him. He'll practically beg us to kill him . . . . . because . . . I know Robin's real name." This could get interesting. But I think Dodge is going to switch sides. He's somehow going to help Robin, and when he tells him about his parents, Batman with take on that task. I don't know if they'll be able to beat these 3 or not. But they should be able to hold their own. Nice story by Adam Beechen. And I really like Freddie E Williams II's artwork. Both of them have brought a good feel to this book.
