Nobody and Damian team up, as the former tries to bring out the killer instinct of the latter. They bust into the Embassy where an Ambassador was guilty of human trafficking. Now with the Ambassador on his knees, Nobody hands Robin a gun to have him finish the job.
Robin is faced with having to shoot a guy in the head to prove himself to Nobody, and he pulls the trigger. Lucky for the corrupt ambassador, the gun was empty. Robin is angry for being toyed with, and Nobody said he wanted to see how committed he is. He then tells Robin to use that deadly move that Nobody used on him earlier.. the one where you jab your fingers between the person’s eyes that leaves him incapacitated. Robin is worried since once wrong move can kill the man, but he pulls it off perfectly.
Alfred sends Batman information that Robin was spotted at the Embassy. He shows up and finds the guards still alive. Back to his flashback which he is recording for Damian… Bruce trains alongside Henri and Morgan as they track down a terrorist named Hassan. They finally track him down to a building. Morgan says Interpol was notified and Henri heads out as Bruce keeps watch. When Bruce tells Henri that Hassan is near the door’s peephole… Henri shoots the terrorist in the head.
Bruce is enraged to find out that were sent to hunt and kill Hassan, not just capture him. He leaves angrily, and Henri sends Morgan to take care of him. Later that night, Bruce barely misses being sniped by Morgan. As Morgan leaves thinking Bruce was dead… a cinder block smashes into the front window of his car. Bruce Wayne appears, and he’s out for blood. Like a savage beast, Bruce beats the living crap out of Morgan, but stops himself before delivering the killing blow. Later that night, he tosses Morgan’s body through the window of Henri’s hideout.
My Opinions
The story heats up as we see more of Bruce's past with Morgan, which lead to Bruce beating the living crap out of him in anger. It seems he was darker than when he was Batman.
As for Damian, we see he pretending all along and finally called his play. I have to say it was awfully convenient of Damian that Morgan was using an unloaded gun to test his loyalty. I mean, what was he going to do had Morgan just used a loaded gun? Would he have dropped his ruse so quickly? Also... the R on his Robin costume has a GPS and is also a two way radio? What?
However Damian's plan backfire violently and now Morgan will torture the kid as Batman can only listen as he miles away. Morgan is just twisted in his methods, I guess, to fight crime. He's the kinda guy that thinks the ends justify the means, no matter what.... but also just wants cold blooded revenge against Bruce. The story is intense and I can't wait to see how this ends.
Oh... and of course, that epic and dynamic cover of Batman and Robin fighting each other to the death... yeah, that never happened.

Back to the present, Gordon is watching the cops investigate what happened at the Embassy. Batman asks him to give him two hours to find the ambassador, since this is personal. Gordon gives him one.
At the Gotham Harbor, Nobody used a truth serum to get all the names and addresses from the ambassador’s human trafficking operation. Nobody starts to tell Damian about when Bruce almost killed him, but he thinks he wanted Bruce to take his place as Henri’s son. As they talk, the ambassador is about to be dumped into a vat of acid. What is it with this guy and the huge vats of acid? Where does he even get all of it from?
Damian attacks Nobody and gets taken down. A GPS signal in Robin’s ‘R’ emblem gives Batman his location. Nobody notices this and is surprised he was betrayed, even when he was quick to pull the trigger on the ambassador before. Damian said the weight of the gun was off and he knew it wouldn’t fire. This was all Damian’s plan, and he used his real-life problems with his father to convince Morgan and trick him. Why the betrayal? Because he's Batman's son!!
However, Nobody is pissed. He uses the ‘R’ emblem as a two-way radio so that Batman can now hear how he’ll break his son. Batman is, of course, violently pissed.
