Wow this is really amazing! I love how it ties so many stories together, such as the continuation and end of the flashback to Zero Year, to the lose of Damian, and then into Batman Eternal! The new Robin is FANTASTIC! Or is it Robins? Or just new sidekicks??? I'm not sure what Bluebird and her twin are categorized as.

I think this seats at a solid 4.5 or 4.75 out of five stars. Quite good.

A few stand alone stories from the Scott Snyder run. Some tie in into stories I already read like zero year. Others were depending on knowledge of events that I'm not aware of for their emotional payoff.

I have to admit that while some of the stories in here were mildly interesting, I was very underwhelmed with the majority of content in here. Snyders run despite a strong opening is not living up to its reputation.

I really appreciated the reflection Bruce has after Damian

Arguably a misstep, however, this volume collects a variety of issues that serve as filler between present events in the storyline and aspects from Zero Year. Nevertheless, plenty of fun and joy to read this entertaining volume!

This is a mixed bag of "leftover" Batman stories, so there was variation in the writing and stories. I liked some of them quite a bit, and others not so much. It was sometimes frustrating to read them in this collection because I wasn't sure where in the timeline they took place and/or what happened since I haven't read every New 52 bat title ever.

"We have to let the heroes of tomorrow know that they aren't alone."

Not much to say because I just love these volumes so much. A great mix of action and emotion, funny moments and very tense ones. Can't wait to get to the next one and then read them all again on a rainy day.
