Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV kick off an epic mystery in the sequel to their blockbuster hit BATMAN ETERNAL, joined by such comics all-stars as Tim Seeley, Genevieve Valentine, Tony S. Daniel, Paul Pelletier and more. Bruce Wayne may no longer be Batman, but his legacy lives on. When an assassin begins targeting all of Batman's past partners, the former Robins must join forces to untangle a mystery that stretches back to the early days of the Dark Knight's career. Years ago, Batman encountered a human trafficker known as Mother. Then-Robin Dick Grayson knew nothing of it at the time, but the case was much more complex than he could have ever imagined. Now, without Bruce to guide them, a grown-up Grayson and his allies must rely on the help of the silent, mysterious Cassandra Cain to pick up the trail and stop Mother's deadly plans. But with Mother's army of sleeper agents all around, they can't trust anyone-even each other!.… (plus d'informations)

A promising set-up, and not without its merits and excitement, but it feels tame and inconsequential compared to "Batman Eternal" in whose footsteps it is following. Hopefully the second half of the story will make it come together nicely, though.

The main points of interest here for me are the emotional connections mined from the three Robins (and to a lesser extent, the relatively recent addition Bluebird). Their at-odds-personalities having grown into an almost affectionate explicitly sibling-like dynamic is touching and engaging. And I especially like seeing Drake's paranoia played up and Todd's aggression played down a bit when they do play on the frictions, it makes for a nice break from the usual 'Red Hood is the bad one' dynamic. The different reflections of Batman's personality traits in each of his main sidekicks has always been very appealing to me, and this book makes good use of them.

The book is also re-introducing two other Batman sidekicks from the pre-New 52 continuity back into the DCU: Cassandra Cain and Azrael. I was never that crazy about the latter, and while he feels a bit shoehorned into this plot, in a story also serving as a kind of celebration of Batman sidekicks through the ages, it's fitting enough. And honestly still a bit less forced here than his original origins did -- it's been decades since I read those, but to my memory, the supernatural elements felt a bit out of place to me at the time.
Cassandra Cain, however, I'm a huge fan of, and her introduction here is satisfying, and echoes the original well. Hopefully she will continue to shine in the second half, and in the future stories now that she's been reintroduced to the continuity.

The plot itself is OK, but sadly, nothing special, at least not yet. The Batman-keeping-secrets-from-his-allies-motif is a bit trite at this point, but it makes sense here and isn't hammered too much. The telling of the story is a bit meandering, though, and I'm a bit concerned that the resolution will feel somewhat obvious and unfulfilling. I also don't like this Spyral director take on Helena Bertinelli much, or Dick Grayson as a secret agent for that matter, but maybe I would if I'd read any of the comics establishing this version of them.

Batman & Robin Eternal (2015-) #1 - Scott Snyder, Tony S. Daniel
I got it for free from Comixology, and wasn't sure how I'd feel about this: I wasn't that into a lot of the more recent DC works, at least not until Rebirth. That being said, I did quite enjoy this: it had enough intrigue to keep this tense and taut as a read. It does feel like a setup, with the former Robin's getting tougher and subplot with Bluebird, the young girl Batman was training before Bruce Wayne lost his memory.

Grayson has called all the Bat-family together to go after someone, so he has a chance to take them out in Gotham - and then go and do his Spyral business. Except that he gets ambushed, and there are vague references to Mother and The Orphan.

And it all ties back to Batman, although no one is sure what he's done. He's clearly not going to tell them.

Grayson is on his own for now, and it seems to be up to him to figure out not only what Wayne's greatest sin was, but how to take down someone even the original Batman couldn't take down.

I'm looking into buying more of this series, but I also may just wait for a Comixology sale since I have so much more to read in the meantime.

I am so conflicted about this TPB. Yes, on the one hand, it was an awesome story in and unto itself. I liked how it went back and forth between the past and the present. I liked that we got to see Bruce just a little (as of reading this I haven't gotten around to reading all of the stuff around the new Batman stuff yet).

So, people are dying, and someone even goes after Bruce in his new bearded look (an interesting look I guess). And it keeps leading back to a shadowy person who is called Mother. So, the three Robins (Jason, Dick, and Tim) as well as Harper start their own investigation into what in the frilly heck is going on. It gets messy, and then that ending...

As I said, it was a good story, but, at times I just found myself thinking, "Are you serious?" What can I say, I miss Nightwing so so badly...

I got this galley through Netgalley on behalf of DC Entertainment. ( )
