A review by unladylike
Batman and Robin Eternal, Volume 1 by Scott Snyder, Tim Seeley

2.0

I've missed out on whatever huge thing happened that caused Bruce Wayne to cease being Batman and the uprising of tons of Robins, but I was able to accept that and take this book for what is was. What it is is a bad sci-fi mystery movie where the director keeps showing you the same incomplete flashback sequence, but you know the ending is going to reveal some twist that's different than what they're shoving in your face. But by the end, you just don't care.

The whole Mother analogy is played out to death on almost every page, it's obvious this is another book with Scott Snyder's name on it that's actually scripted by much less-talented writers, and the art style is so inconsistent that I wouldn't have been able to identify several key characters from one issue to the next if it weren't for their costumes.

I'm hoping the major gaps in this plotline will be explained when I get my hands on Batman vol. 8, but if not, I'll just catch the Cliff's notes version of this crappy arc.
