Non spoilers section

Here we got some really nice character development with Ra's Al Ghul so the weight of his death. That's not a spoiler since DC has put this information in the synopsis for some upcoming comics. Big shame, this could have been surprising. Bruce and Damian's relationship is also explored, the best part of the whole comic in my opinion. Even Alfred's death still has some weight here. We end on a mystery, so, a very nice start overall for this crossover.

Spoilers

I've been very curious about this crossover, and   so far things are looking good. The highlight of this issue is Bruce and Damian for sure. Together again at last, however things are not looking good for father and son yet. My only problem with this is how Ra's dies. We have a murder mystery in our hands, and that's cool but Slade should be the one to kill him, it would make sense due to how protective he is of Respawn. I get that he wants to stay in the shadows but he could have killed Ra's stealthily. But that's not a big deal of course, a murder mystery is always cool when well done.
