Synopsis:

Robin fights Steeljacket, once he can get close enough that is, being dragged across the Gotham skyline for a time first. Meanwhile, Dick Grayson and Bruce Wayne have the conversation they should have had long ago, working out where they really stand with one another: as father and son. Bruce Wayne is now ready to take back the role of Batman, and he now knows that Dick will stand by his as Nightwing just as much as Tim will as Robin.
