Well Rags Morales wasn't on Nightwing this month, but . . he was still here. This is the conclusion to the Wrath story-line. Or as we guessed . . this one's called Wrath Child. The guy has a couple of things working against him this issue. He thinks he killed Nightwing, Robin, and the Commish, last issue when he blew up his house. But actually that was a ruse by Batman to try to get him to play his hand. And he's got Grayle Hudson, the first Wrath's love interest. That works against him because, in Batman's eyes, once another life is put on the line . . he has a tendency to really amp up his game. So he think he and the Batman are mano e mano, when actually Batman's still got all the help he's always had. And with that help he finds out the Wrath Child's real identity. Once that information is in Batman's lap . . the game, for all intents and purposes, is over. He with the best intel . . . wins! Batman uses some of his tricks to get he and Grayle out of harms way, and then, with the help of Nightwing, they psychologically cripple him. They make him face what has happened to him . . and why. Essentially, that's what takes him off his game and allows our dynamic duo to take him in to custody. But I really don't think this is the last we've seen of him. He's only in Blackgate prison after all. It's not like he fell off the face of the Earth. And now he has even more reason to go after Batman & Robin . . Nightwing. I really enjoyed Rags interpretation of the Bat. I honestly don't believe this guy gets enough credit for his work. I also enjoyed Tony Bedard's story. I thought he played it out well. Plus it leaves the opening for future entanglements. Overall, it was a good story-arc.
