So. Questions.

1. When did Harvey figure out who Batman is?
2. Didn't he just reveal Bruce is under the cowl to the whole of Gotham? They were on television during that fight, yes? 
3. Why was the Two-Face story in the Batman and Robin series instead of Batman or Detective Comics? (Or was it a carry over from those and I just haven't gotten to it yet?)

I did love the final issue in here. I stared at the full page of babyGraysonRobin jumping out of the helicopter for a couple of minutes. His absolute unfettered joy in that panel was simply delightful.

Oh man! Batman and Robin is one of my favorite titles at this point of The New 52, if only cuz it really pulls at your emotions. First we see Bruce dealing with his past, and then revealing just how much pain he is in underneath it all, and how no one's more disappointed with him than himself. Then that last one really was a tearjerker. We see into the New 52 past (still not sold on it but the story's a good one), and then it connects to Robin's loss right at the end. Not sure if this line will continue as several have ended it here and changed hands but I hope it keeps going!
