There's been a clear trend with Pete Tomasi's Batman and Robin run that the best issues have been those that focus on standalone stories that revolve around Damian Wayne and the impact he made on the Robin mantle. It was true for Batman and Robin #19. It was true for Batman and Robin Annual #1. And it's true for this year's annual issue too. If you're at all a fan of either the Bruce/Dick or Dick/Damian dynamics, you'll definitely want to add this issue to your buy pile this week.
Apart from a brief framing sequence set in the recent past (between Damian's death and Forever Evil, to be specific), this issue focuses mainly on the proverbial "first Robin story." This is hardly the first time we've seen a writer tackle the dawn of the Batman/Robin partnership, but this is a rare glimpse of that period of Batman history in a New 52 context. Tomasi is able to flesh out the exact nature of Bruce and Dick's relationship at that point in their lives. It's a more classical take than some might expect given recent revelations about Dick being more employee than ward to Bruce during his one year as Robin.
