OK, this issue is pretty damn cool. While Dick and Jim ransack Noctua's apartment, discovering her obsession with the Court of Owls, the Talons force Jason and Tim to face each other in a fight to the death, to discover the new "Gray Son." (Does that mean that they're not interested in Dick?) However, Jason and Tim maneuver their fight so that Jason can hurl Tim in the air. Damian sees what they're doing and calls for the imprisoned Robins to hold out their hands, allowing Tim to essentially climb up the suspended cages to reach the control tower. He opens the cages and frees the Robins, and they collectively make short work of the Talons. They then flee to the rooftop, with Duke wondering during their flight if he's as skilled -- and crazy -- as he needs to be to become one of the "varsity" Robins. He may get his chance to learn, since a group of much more lethal Talons are on the roof pledging to kill them all.
*** (three of five stars)
