Red Robin: Hit List

I like how Fabian Nicieza writes the Bat family.  The hostile relationship between Tim and Damian, the brotherly relationship between Tim and Dick and the mutual respect when Bruce shows up at the end.  The actual plot was a little convoluted and I'm still not sure Tim's plan would have worked the way it was portrayed but I enjoyed the writing enough to ignore the inconsistencies.

Red Robin: Collision

Part of the reason that I picked up Red Robin was that I had also enjoyed the new Batgirl. In Collision Tim returns home to Gotham and meets some of those he left behind. Having teamed with Ra's al Ghul, it's not always pleasant.

I don't know if I enjoy Red Robin enough to start collecting the monthly titles, but I will continue to look for the graphic novels.

Red Robin: The Grail

I was hesitant in picking up Red Robin because, although I enjoyed Tim's character when he was first Robin, it seemed like a failed concept. Tim became Red Robin because Dick's Batman wanted Damian as his Robin? And Tim was the only one convinced that Bruce was still alive? I was hoping Tim was wrong. I like that Dick has become Batman. However, some of the events of Batman's return got me curious enough to pick up The Grail and I'm glad I did.

Tim's grown as a character since I last read him. He's almost an adult and he's got Bruce's drive, I think Dick was right, he wouldn't have been a good Robin for him. He's too much his own person to be a sidekick anymore.
