Tim does the right thing! He puts his Robin suit back on, even though he has to break his word to his father to do it. There is awesome lack of emotional conversation with Batman about it: "You're Back." "I am... for now." And he explains it to his father when he has to, by choice, before his father finds out on his own.

I read all three volumes of this hulk in one day, which attests to it being a quick read, but mostly to it being a compelling read. I was up until 2:00 AM blowing through the third volume, where the mystery antagonist being outed and becoming visibly active kicks the story up that last notch, especially since he/she is a totally different kind of quirky villain in that darkly understated way.

While I tend to like the Batman stories when Batman isn't a complete and total jerk to all of his friends, I am really enjoying this War Games arc. As is with any middle entry of a trilogy there was no resolution to this, but the story was fast-paced and interesting. I love the Batman family so it's cool to have the whole gang working together. I'm looking forward to the conclusion.
I love me some Batman and this middle volume is no exception. However, I must say that sometimes, Batman is infuriating and could do a bit better in the "Team Player" department. I would've normally rated this three stars, but the story gets one extra star for the way it ends alone. :)
Again, much like the first, we are given just enough to continue. I do really enjoy the characterizations of the male characters and Catwoman, but Spoiler really bothers me.
it is my personal opinion that the batman books deserve better writers, scripters and artists than this arc was given to use. disgustingly disappointing.
