Story: Bizarro has a limited lifespan, Jason and Artemis were warned that this would happen but the more Bizarro exerts himself the weaker he becomes until finally after a battle with Grundy Bizarro collapses. For reasons of his own Lex Luthor extends Bizarro's life only this time when Bizarro wakes up he doesn't have the mind of a child but off the chart level genius. He's so smart that he is manipulating situations so they can have his desired outcome. Which leads to working with the Suicide Squad. In the Annual issue we find the Dark Trinity working with a traveling circus and Jason invites Greyson (and kind of tricks him) to work with them.
Art: Dexter Soy does exceptionally well, Bizarro's dreamland version of the characters were adorable. Gandini's colors, I loved the shading. I also enjoyed Kirkham's work it felt softer and a more carefree and worked well with that story. All in all the art was visually appealing and worked well with what was going on in the story, in other words no really weird facial expressions those always make me cringe. 
Review: Overall, it was a good story and I enjoyed pretty much everything about it except smart Bizarro, that was just creepy. I know you couldn't of had the story without smart Bizarro, it's not the fact that he was smart that made it creepy it was how he was portrayed the things he said and how he manipulated certain thing. I think Jason was taking the whole thing way to easy, he was sceptical at first and then, poof, everything was fine. Oh Bizarro is a genius, cool. Oh Bizarro can build all these neat gadgets that can rival Batman, awesome. Oh Bizarro built a giant invisible fortress above Gotham run by a holographic AI projection of himself, yeah that's not creepy at all; and how he manipulated Waller to get what he wants, okay yeah that was a little cool. Artemis has it right to be suspicious especially since it was Luthor who did this to him. I loved seeing Greyson and Todd interact with each other, my two favorite Robins. I can't wait to see where this story goes.
