Coming off one of the series’ strongest issues to date, Grayson takes a detour from the main narrative in lieu of a World’s Finest level team up between Dick and the tight-tee sportin’, motorcycle lovin’ Superman. It’s a fun bit of setup involving two characters not often played against one another, but with some uneven, and at times contradictory, characterization, this annual never quite sticks the landing.
Tim Seeley gets first billing with this issue, and he does a solid job setting the stage, positing a situation wherein a young Robin gets to interact with Superman following a successful chase with sourpuss mentor, Batman. This setup informs we readers of an apparently existing relationship shared between the two that’s given further exploration as Dick runs, er, falls into Clark in the present. While the nickname sharing, buddy-buddy nature exhibited initially reads as a bit forced, Seeley finds a clever parallel between the two, namely in how their shared look-before-you-leap natures stands as a direct contrast to the black-cowled captain of contingencies. The script meanders a bit from there, as following some expository catch-up the duo is suddenly set upon by the Fist of Cain. Out for blood (and new high scores!), the rest of the issue becomes a cat and mouse game between the murderous Cain’s and their depowered prey.
