3.5/5; read in single issues.
Not as good as Batman Eternal, unfortunately, but still fairly enjoyable. I think it might be better if read in a single sitting, but I read it (mostly) week-to-week. The story was intriguing, it was just the execution that wasn't always there. What I especially loved was the focus on Spoiler, Harper Row, and Cassandra Cain. The pacing was good, and it will be interesting to re-read it, as I think I might like it more the second time around (and read in larger chunks).

You know what we need less of?
Vast conspiracies that retcon why things are the way they are.
Dick Grayson is still Dick Grayson, no matter if he somehow was revealed to be a designer tykebomb for the Dark Knight.
If ALL of them were designer tykebombs, I. Do. Not. Care.

I'm done with the whole "Mother" thing. It wasn't a strong enough plot to carry over as many issues as it did. I was also expecting more when Grayson and Bertinelli got brain zapped, or whatever. It was really unclear what happened there... But it was action-y enough and had enough Robin banter to be entertaining.

What I loved most about this one was the banter between the Robins and Cassandra was pretty awesome.
I was a bit confused about what happened to Bruce because I didn't read what came before. I still want a comprehensive reading list in the front of the comic that I'm reading so I have the option to go back and read what I missed before.
The plot for this one was a little thin with the whole "Mother" thing being done to death.

It was a good graphic novel. I loved the end. It was the action and brotherly love I paid for. The last page was actually my favorite. the only reason I gave it 3 stars was because at times in the middle of the story it was either hard to keep things straight or boring. Other than that it was a great addition to my comic collection. Would recommend to any Robin/batman fans.
