Not perfect, but exactly what I want a Bat event to be: a family reunion of sorts, both good and bad.

The finale of the epic year-long Batman event! Finally. This volume just keeps going and going. A lot of it is filler, unfortunately. You get the feeling that the writers had to figure out ways to make this story last 52 issues. But it wraps up really well and I very much enjoyed it, and the entire series as a whole.

HOLY WOW THIS IS AWESOME.
Okay, okay, I need to type clearly and fangirl less, I get it. *ahem*
Batman Eternal is Batman at it's finest. While New 52 kicked off with Court of Owls, which was phenomenal, but this is one of the greatest trilogies in Batman History. I've said it's up there with Hush and The Long Halloween, and boy I meant it.
Batman really has no clue what's going on, and it's not until the last quarter of the book that I figured it out, but really, what you can guess isn't even right. There's one hint but it's not much of a hint cuz there's so many hints flying at you, and EVERY MEMBER of the Rogue's Gallery is flying around causing mayhem. It takes every member of the Bat Family and then some to keep Gotham from collapsing and more than one character wonders if they'll survive.
The hundreds of twists each bind-up goes through is INSANE, and I just can't tell what's going where and what's happening. It's brilliant and beautiful, and more than once I had to put the book down and remember breathe as the action and scenes took my breath away. This is fantastic and every Batman fan needs to read this. Seriously, New 52 has outdone itself and created a comic for the ages.

The complete eternal story is a bit too long with a lot of threads. This volume is a good end to the story. The villain reveal does not disappoint. Vol. 2 is still the best of lot, probably because it is short and has a much more contained storyline.

Enjoy excellent volume in the Batman Eternal series. One of DC's best at the time.

Amazing conclusion to a great series. Can't wait for Batman & Robin Eternal.

I don’t even know what to say at the end of this monster series... It had some pretty great moments, but they were buried by red herring after red herring. And then in the end, I had no clue who the main villain was. The name sounded vaguely familiar, but I guess I wasn’t a big enough fan to get it.
If they cut out all of the filler, this might have been an excellent series.
I also kept expecting Dick and Damian to show up. But Dick is Agent Greyson at this point, and Damian is... dead? But they are in Batman and Robin Eternal... Following continuity is impossible.
