Grant Morrison finished his run on this series, brought Bruce Wayne back, and was off to continue his Bat-story in another new title, "Batman Inc". But alas, that does not mean the adventures of Dick Grayson as (a) Batman and Damien Wayne as Robin have to end. This compilation contains the last nine issues of the series, 17-25, before the big reboot of September 2011. They are split into three stories, three chapters each, with three different creative teams.
The first story is "The Sum of Her Parts" written by Paul Cornell and illustrated (mostly) by Scott McDaniel. An old flame of Bruce is murdered by a yacht heist gone terribly wrong while her body goes missing. An investigation leads to an enemy who loathes Bruce Wayne and will strike at his "Batmen" to get their message across. A really good story that highlights the differences between Bruce and Dick and how their greatest strengths can become their greatest weaknesses. The artwork was good but could get confusing as to what one is looking at if too many objects overlapped.
The next story, "Tree of Blood", highlights the title of the compilation, Dark Knight, White Knight, as Batman and Robin battle an enemy named the White Knight. Somehow he is connected to people dressing as angels and committing suicide. Very good and engaging story written by Peter Tomasi re-teaming with his Green Lantern Corps illustrator, Patrick Gleason, who does a fine job himself.
The final story, "The Streets Run Red" is written by Judd Winick and illustrated by Greg Tocchini, Guillem March, and a couple other artists. March is the strongest of the bunch. Jason Todd gets a transfer from Arkham Asylum to a regular prison and Batman and Robin want to find out why and stop him. This is the weakest of the trilogy and why I knocked off a star. Winick tries to throw aside how Morrison made fun of Todd earlier in this series by making him too much of a bad---. He also is way too cocky and bests Batman and Robin way too easily and often. The story is really flat as well. It boils down to a team-up for a simple rescue mission.
Overall, a very good and exciting bat book featuring Dick as Batman and Damien as Robin. The main component that really makes this series work. It is a fun dynamic to have the roles of this dynamic duo reversed as to the brooding, dark, scowling Bruce Wayne and upbeat, smiling, bantering Dick/Tim Robin. That is why I am skeptical about the New DC's Batman and Robin, where we get both Waynes and their dark demeanor. But Tomasi and Gleason showed in this story there might be some hope for a good series.
