My pick for last was Battle for the Cowl #2. I can’t tell you why I enjoyed it but I did. Everybody knows (or at least I do), Dick Grayson will become Bruce’s replacement as the Bat. The only thing that was in question was who would challenge him for the mantle. The whole thing my reminds of The Lion in Winter. In 1183 King Henry the II summoned his three sons to determine his heir to the throne, the whole film revolves around each of the sons plots to become the heir. In issue # 2 Jason Todd makes the first move and becomes a gun strapped version of Batman. Tim decides that Jason needs to be stopped unfortunately he gets his ass handed to him by Jason. This sets up a show down in issue 3 between Dick and Jason for the mantle of the Bat. Its a very simple plot but it works.
