While it's simply told, I did learn the basics of this event in history I'd never heard of. I must admit the art was not my favorite, but it's passable. I like that it has the facts of what really happened at the end. I think kids in 3rd-5th grade could really like this. Watch out, there's blood.

Meaning, you don't have to know what's happened in the DC Universe for the past 70 years to understand it 2) it has dinosaurs! I love dinosaurs, and apparently so does Batman!
This was a fun read that was a bit all over the place, but it fit together. I wish DC and Marvel would do more of these stand alones.

I'm a sucker for Dick Grayson, but this was somewhat disappointing. I didn't mind reading it, but I didn't care about any of the characters either. The plot was nothing new and didn't stand out. I'm not sure how old Dick is supposed to be when Bruce Wayne comes along (it probably depends on the version) but I always picture him younger than 16 as he is here. I did like the coloring changes.
Content: some mild language
