I liked the lonely place of dying more than the death in the family. I think the whole fiasco with Joker seemed ridiculous to happen somewhere in Middle East. I get that the readers wanted Jason dead but that was really a brutal way for a kid to die. 

The Lonely Place of Dying felt better to read in terms of the dialogues and storytelling. The role of Robin isn’t an easy responsibility to carry as a kid. I liked that it was briefly explored. Having Two-Face as the villain here certainly upped the stakes for Batman. It’s a good story to show how the death affected Bruce as well as Batman and it probably left a few tears in its wake. I loved how Tim was introduced. Boy was a bubbling energy who told Batman and made  him hear things that others couldn’t. Exactly the kind of Robin was needed for Batman after the death of Jason. And amazing artwork!!!!
