A book geared at teens or kids, focused on diversity. What I got? A book geared towards young adults, which I consider 16-21 (since they are young and adults) which was in no way pandering, and a book full of colorful characters of color without making color a storyline or important talking point. I didn't feel like it was an affirmative action "Let's make an URBAN book for black teens and hispanics", I felt like these are just kids. Which, I think is great. I like characters who "just are" compared to characters who "try to be". It's an origin story, in many aspects. Something that can be a huge turn off, but it was actually rather quick and easy to get into. It took three or four chapters to hit it's true stride, which wasn't a problem at all. It really came into it's own and felt GOOD when it was done. I really look forward to reading more about these Robins and their lives and their interactions with each other, and the criminal underbelly. I also got a TMNT Vibe from some of the characters, which was neat. Overall I suggest this book to anyone. There's very little you need to know to get started, and what you do know doesn't spoil much. For example, Bruce Wayne is no longer Batman, a giant blue mech is. That's about it really. Check it out! Review: Exactly what I was hoping for - arrived on time and in perfect condition beautiful colors in the art although I'm not the biggest fan of the art style and well maintained and packaged all around great buy

A solid 8
solid intro to duke thomas, not too wild about the art change for the batgirl section.

What a cool story!
What a cool story! Vol. 1 is the first half of one of the coolest things to come out of the New 52. This story is everything I’ve loved about comic books and superhero stories.

I enjoyed it.
I would love to see Netflix pick this up for a tv show. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.

A cool and fresh view of Gotham.
I loved it! I love the illustration style, the pace of the story, and regular person's perspective on super heroes.
