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

3.0

Watch as the various Robins, minus Damien, fight the mysterious entity known as "Mother". What is Batman's involvement? Can the various boys wonder keep from fighting each other in the meantime? As a lifetime Robin fan, this was a treat to see everyone together. There are about a dozen artists on this book, so the art is very inconsistent. Some choice terrible faces on Dick Grayson, for sure. There are many flashbacks in the story where the young Dick Grayson is working with Batman. They are fun and lovely, but a weakness to the book only in it that is gives you everything Batman and Robin used to be. I was left longing for those simple stories of the dark and looming Batman hanging out with a smart-alec kid. Remember that? The mysterious "Mother" is a pretty lame villain when compared to the Scarecrow, who keeps appearing in the flashbacks. Imagine if the Robins were fighting an A-list Batman villain. How much better would that have been? Glad for the bare bones of concept, but wishing the current convoluted Bat-verse, complete with amnesia Bruce Wayne, James Gordon robot Batman, and the We are Robin brigade, weren't there.
