The Son of Batman is introduced to his father.Â
Unlike the last issues (Batman #655) this issues stays directly with the story. The complete sitting is the “Action for Africa” fund raiser that Bruce Wayne is attending. Alfred told Bruce in #655 that he needed to get out more…so he did, only to be attacked by a bunch of Man-Bats. And to be introduced to his son.
Opening the door to the winter stories this Batman issue is full of fight scenes and fills in the gaps left from part one. I really pitty the poor collector that comes across Batman #655 in the future, when he picks it up without #656.  He will be utterly confused. Batman #656 is a good conclusion and beginning.
