On examining the body Batman discovers the man turned into a killing machine is actually Dick Grayson's great-grandfather. He also uncovers the fact that Dick was handpicked by the Court of Owls to be one of them but his parent's death, and his adoption by Bruce Wayne put a crimp in their plans.
There was no real reason to tweak Dick's to include the Court of Owls (which is further explored in this week's Nightwing #7), but it's how Batman informs him (by backhanding him so hard he looses a tooth and nearly conciousness) that I found troubling. Like much of this story arc, the latest issue of Batman is a mixed success with many more Court of Owls stories on the way. Worth a look.
