This holds up as a much better read in trade form than it did in individual issues, mostly because the issues were often delayed and seemingly had no regular publication schedule.
I recall being pretty frustrated and disappointed with this one! It didn't make any sense and seemed to me utterly incoherent.
While it is kind of cool to see Batman in different eras, the story is really backloaded.

When Grant Morrison writes of things cosmic, I find that his prose and plotting veer towards the opaque. I'm currently reading his series Annihilator and just picked up The Nameless, and both suffer from an overemphasis on grandiose transcendental architecture and hard to read sequences.
You wouldn't expect that from a Batman miniseries, but it's here, mostly because this is a story of Bruce Wayne traveling through time after dispatching Darkseid in Final Crisis. The good is seeing Batman in a variety of settings that involve older DC characters (e.g., Jon Valor, Jonah Hex). The bad is a confusing combination of time travel dynamics, the intricacies of the Wayne family tree, and different artists on different issues.
