Solid issue that surprisingly has no Deathstroke involvement. The pieces start falling into place and we are left with Batman and Deathstrokes daughter teaming up. I liked this issue more than the others and hope they continue building on this strong action packed arc.

Good twist. Deathstroke is a phenomenally skilled assassin.
I loved the ending.
P.S. Damian Is awesome!

Damian roasting Slade has me crying lmao. Why did Batman say Batman isn't his name tho? Considering the Tom King run was happening at this same time it's very funny these two perspectives of the character clash so wildly

I am really liking this new young Robin. And Batman and Deathstroke, what an odd ball combo. I wondered where it was all going.....until the last page!

Fun to see Batman and Robin along for the adventure in this one. The family drama amongst the Wilsons thickens.
