Rather than focusing
in the main feature, this review takes on the backup story titled
"Tomorrow." This tale is about the first night the batsignal lighted
the skies of Gotham and the young lives that were destined to be
changed upon that sight. Tim Drake is depicted as a genius with his
heart in the right place. Jason Todd is a haunted young man driven
by regrets and whose fate is to be an outcast.
Dick Grayson, who is
about to experience great loss and unknowingly escape the grasp of
the Court of Owls, is a talented and heroic youngster. Finally
Barbara Gordon, daughter of the police commissioner has the most
inspiring moment of the story. Now that DC has rolled the dice on
the timeline of the Bat Family, and compressed down to five years,
it will have to tread carefully to avoid continuity mishaps -it
already occurred, but I don't want to take anything from this nice
flashback.
