Deep under Gotham City lies a subterranean echo of a lost time. This abandonedworld has lain uninhabited for decades…until tonight. Now, Damian Wayne is thesole human resident of these abandoned catacombs…imprisoned by the entityknown only as Memento. A father is desperate to track down his son, but willBatman be able to descend into the bowels of the city in time to save Robin? Or willthe Dark Knight’s mind spiral into madness first?
The mystery of Memento, the strange supernatural serial killer haunting Gotham, has been one of the darkest to find Batman and Robin in a while. What first started as the legacy of the killings perpetrated by Batman's old detective mentor have transformed into something else entirely a demonic mystery involving a killer who jumps bodies and refuses to die.

Batman and Robin #23 was awesome. Simply put. I was intrigued throughout as the foundation that Phillip Kennedy Johnson laid out in all the previous issues is really paying off as we reach the finale. I still think that this arc will read better all at once compared to reading it monthly, but I'm left wanting more as the issue ends on a big cliffhanger. Hopefully the next issue sticks the landing after all this time, and I think that it will. I can't wait! Read Full Review
Batman and Robin #23 is a fun read, with something comic books definitely need! Read Full Review
Overall this arc could have been tighter and more consistent.
And Damian at times has seemed out of character.
But this is a great issue. And better than anything we’ve seen in the main Batman title in a long time. Looking forward to the finale.
This was a satisfying conclusion to the story. But I definitely feel it overstate it’s welcome. I’m just glad that it finally concluded.
There were some decent moments for both Batman as well as Robin in this issue. I don’t really love this series as much as I used to, but it’s still worth continuing to collect. So I must admit up until this point I was buying more than one copy of each single issue just to support the series. Not to say that this is a terrible series but it’s just not something that I feel I need to put on such high pedestal.
All that being said, I will still continue buying this and single issue form as well as when the trade paperback comes out. It’s definitely decent. It’s just not more
Thank God Johnson saw the writing on the world. If he didn't close it up next issue, I was going to drop the title. I'm so tired of Momento. I really thought that girl detective was secretly Momento, that would have been a good twist. This is Robin fighting alongside the Lost Boys that have a stupid name. The issue was average at best alongside a very elongated and tired storyline. I'm looking forward to this wrapping up.
