Publisher’s description
Final issue! Dick Grayson fought alongside Batman as part of the dynamic duo; as Nightwing, he teamed up with his peers to combat injustice in the Titans; and now he faces the most important battle of his life! The Mantle of the Bat must be passed, but it will require all of Dick's training and skills to carry out the last wishes of Bruce Wayne and protect Gotham City.
