The Show Must Go On

This was by far my favorite of the Flashpoint companion books.  In a world where Bruce Wayne never became Batman Dick Grayson also never became Robin.  


You get to see the life that Dick would have had if his parents were never murdered and raised him themselves.  It was also interesting to see Boston Brand in the mix.  The character has really come to prominence recently.  Some things must subconsciously bleed through from the original reality as Dick is garbed in a Nightwing-esque costume as his stage attire.

Doctor Fate plays a prominent part as well as his helmet seems to be of great interest to Diana and the Amazons.  In fact the Amazonian search for said artifact leaves us with a foreboding feeling about the fate of Dick Grayson and family.
