Following a year's worth of man of mystery antics, a Robin at last returns to roost. It's a moment long in the making, and with a ticking clock deadline and a whole slew of "my bad" mea culpa's to deliver, Dick Grayson's return to Gotham is as emotionally investing as it is narratively complex.
Given last issue's mind bending, narrative altering reveals, at first glance issue #12 is about as tonally different as you can get. Dick, at last given the freedom to reveal his continued existence to his Bat family in Gotham, has a lot of making up to do, and writers Tom King and Tim Seeley do an excellent job ensuring that the stakes, and feelings, of such a reunion are well measured. Dick has been gone, well, dead, for a long time, and the writers take careful care in how each member of the Bat team reacts to his sudden resurrection. King and Seeley have written some great character beats in their relatively short run, but issue #12 may stand apart as the most assured. Each moment, from Tim and Jason's angry incredulity to Barbara's cold disappointment to Damian's pure, unfettered joy, feels appropriate to both the moment and the histories they share.
