  Robin was spotlighted in a lot of Chuck Dixon's work in those days as he was also writing about him in his own series. In this issue Robin is undercover as a gang member caught by Lock-up, who originally was also after the gang leader who killed Tim's classmate. Thanks to Oracle Lock-up gets an impressive rap sheet so he puts Robin in his little jail. When Nightwing shows up he gets trapped with Two-Face, Killer Moth and a bunch of other killers as Lock-up floods the place. Thrilling stuff packed into one issue. They don't do 'em this way anymore. My only complaint is you don't really see Batman beat up the bad guy. He turns and sees Batman and next time you see him he's tied up with his former prisoners. I always felt like I was robbed of an exciting showdown. Otherwise I really enjoyed this one. more
