Another re-read as I'm presently on a Nightwing/Oracle kick because of the Convergence release. I went back to the retconned beginning of these two and their burgeoning relationship.

This one picks up a few years after Year One: Robin, with Babara trying to find her way. I appreciate how it's about the same size of writing, but it was broken into 9 issues (more gorgeous cover-art if admittedly costs more all across the board to the customer).

I do love this book so much. Barbara comes at this life from a completely different place, not mired in despair and death, and she's all pro-female power which is glorious to see. I loved all of it. I love the burgeoning romance, and the ups and downs of the bat family, and the importance of Jim & Gotham's cops. All around a glorious read.
