No More Heroes by Alan Grant & Norm Breyfogle - ★★★ Batman and Robin chase a mobster into an amusement park where they must also deal with a sniper. Shadow Box by Chuck Dixon & Tom Lyle - ★★★ The creative team behind the Robin miniseries bring the Ghost Dragons to Gotham where King Snake looks to get his revenge on Robin in this direct follow-up to the miniseries. These issues are also included in Robin Vol. 2: Triumphant if you think you are having deja vu. Of Gods and Men by Alan Grant & Norm Bre No More Heroes by Alan Grant & Norm Breyfogle - ★★★ Batman and Robin chase a mobster into an amusement park where they must also deal with a sniper.

Of Gods and Men by Alan Grant & Norm Breyfogle - ★★★★ Batman and Robin go after Maxie Zeus in this War of the Gods tie in. Requiem for a Killer by Alan Grant & Norm Breyfogle - ★★★★★ Killer Croc protects his new family. He's been adopted by a bunch of street people living in the sewer. Easily the best story in this collection. I wish there was more. The Idiot Root by Peter Milligan, Norm Breyfogle & Jim Aparo - ★ Batman heads to Rio to go after the Queen of Hearts. She's walking around with a drill, drilling people's hearts out. There he gets involved in some Vertigo-lite story of a ID consciousness trying to escape into the real world by eating kids' brains after they've taken a new street drug. Like most of Peter Milligan's stories, it's crap and makes little sense.

A mixed bag, Dixon's arrival alongside Grant, both as solid as usual, but Peter Milligan's contribution of the The Idiot and Batman in Rio is not great.

A dip in quality from the Batman stories that preceded them (especially ‘The Idiot Root’, that was awful). ‘Requiem For A Killer’ was absolutely fantastic though.
