Although no formal mention of this being the last issue is made, the editors seem to be obliquely referencing it on the opening page, thanking the readers for reading the magazine. Plus, this is the only issue to break with the magazine's format--no extra kid-centric photo features or articles, just a long-form comic book story.
The story in question is "Let Justice Be Done", by Roger Stern, Ty Templeton, and Rick Burchett, featuring separate chapters for each hero, in classic JLA fashion:
The only debit this magazine has is that doesn't feature the work of Mike Parobeck in any way, which is a shame--he deserved to be included in the full run of the magazine.
I've said it before, I'll say it again--DC needs to have another magazine out there like this. Howabout a kid friendly Batman magazine, aimed at kids too young to see the intense (to say the least) Dark Knight movie?

I always enjoyed Templeton's animated stuff. A bit darker and more on model than Parobeck, but it didn't have that "gosh wow" energy Mike's stuff did.
Man, I had forgotten about Booster's god-awful armor phase. Pu.

As far as 'Batman for kids' goes, there is the monthly comic based on the 'helmet-head' Batman cartoon... I like it more than the regular Batman, which I only picked up 'cause it was the best of a sorry lot at airport bookstores... Slight 'soap opera' elements with the Nightwing/Batman/Current Robin tension, which tend to 'slow things down' when read out loud to a four year old... Pretty good, I highly recommend the 'Killer Croc' issue of recent vintage.
