Finally over. Man, was that crap. Terrible story, campy dialogue and he can't draw like he used to: Spoiler: this really stupid comic book Alright, so Batman kills Sensei in front of everybody and then threatens that if anyone over steps out of line again–they get the gun. But wait, that’s not entirely true. Cut to two weeks later and we learn that Batman and Sensei made a deal for some reason and Senseit got to fake his death in exchange for a vile of green potion (lazarus?) that when ingested would transform him into…A BABY.

^ Pretty much...I'm surprised DC decided to include as part of the New 52 relaunch. I believe the second volume got a number one issue, I could be wrong about that.
I don't think it was part of the new 52. I think the new number 1 was just a sad attempt to hype up a failed project by a faded legend.
