Notes:
(1) This story's told in the style of a fairytale, where Batman is the king and the Robins are princes.
- I must say, the art style does match this aesthetic well. It's reminiscent of medieval illuminations and tapestries.
(2) Apparently, in this reality, Dick and Barbara have a kid together and are a kind of crime-fighting couple.
- I'd like that comic book, please!

Notes:
(1) I don't know whether it's because they're nominally villains, but the Talia and Ra's al Ghul issues felt a lot less impactful.
- I do find the framing of Talia as a Juno-esque too-young single mother rather thought provoking.
(2) The epilogue was a bit too "fairytale ending" for me and, while eminently appropriate given the fairytale motif, terribly hokey.

Notes:
(1) We get issues on Jason and Tim, which is just contrast after contrast.
- Slum living versus high-rise galas being the most glaring.
(2) Lex Luthor insists his bad reputation is due to "illegal aliens and overzealous bloggers," which I presume means Superman and Lois Lane.
- Does Lois Lane not work at the Daily Planet here? or is Lex just trivializing print media?

Notes:
(1) As far as I know, the only Juni Ba I've read are a "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" annual and a "Kaya" backup story.
- I like his art a lot more than his storytelling.
- His style's like a cross between "Samurai Jack," "Hellboy," and "Teen Titans Go!" It's simultaneously modern and primitivist.
(2) How is this a DC Black Label book? Because it's out of continuity?
