Theres no time to lose, either, because for every mystery they solve about Mother, there are more waiting to be discovered, including Mothers next target, a place that couldnt be more personal to Dick Grayson!
My overall thoughts on this issue are that the writers and artists who bring us such compelling stories like these deserve more recognition. Read Full Review

Issue #16 gives us another look at an iconic scene in Batman and Robin history – one that's shaped Jason Todd in the Red Hood alter-ego he is today. The storyline we've seen Red Hood and Red Robin in the past few issues gets wrapped up as we head back to Gotham for more chaos. Oh, and that last scene we get at the end featuring another look into the past and Batmandid he just pick up a gun? Read Full Review
Back in the past in Cairo, Batman picks up a gun from a trashcan in an alley in Cairo. He disappears into the darkness with the pyramids in the distant. A lone gunshot. Read Full Review
Batman and Robin Eternal #16 brings Tim and Jason's trip to a rather satisfying conclusion, as despite there being some shaky dialogue, with the storyline as a whole failing to impress, it was nevertheless an entertaining read. The creative team also gave us more mysteries to solve, with a tantalising final panel that is sure to leave readers guessing. Read Full Review
Batman and Robin Eternal is coming across as a solid story that suffers from the weekly grind. Read Full Review
Overall, a somewhat forgettable issue that is saved by the Dynamic Duo and Scarecrow. Read Full Review
This is an average issue lifted up by some really good moments. Azrael becomes a hero and Jason Todd faces his greatest fear by reliving it all over again. While I wanted some answers on the Batman front, the issue still ended with the story moving forward for the stretch run. I can't say I'm more excited after reading this issue, but I'm looking forward to seeing the gang all together and getting this whole thing resolved. Read Full Review
Sub par illustrations and peculiar writing choices fill this particular installment of Batman&Robin Eternal. Nonetheless, it's still kind of an entertaining read. Filled with plenty of action and some unintentionally humorous moments. While the attempt to be epic and moving comes off only partially successful, I give them points for trying. Now, let's move on to the moment you have all been waiting for….did Batman really shoot that kid's parents? Read Full Review
"Batman and Robin Eternal" #16 does do one thing quite well, though, and that's clear the deck for what's still to come. With the other half of the title's characters (Grayson, Cassandra and Bluebird) already done with their expedition, it's nice to see the same happen for this team. It gives the title the perfect pivot point to leap forward with new material next week, and for that alone, I'm eager to see what's next. Hopefully, whenever Azrael returns, it will be with a slightly stronger hook for the readers to cheer him on. Here, unfortunately, that's what we never quite got. Read Full Review
A surprisingly sound character-driven issue that sees Jean-Paul Valley turn over a new leaf, and Jason truly deal with his own death. The latter hasn't seen anything like that in his own series, so it's nice to see this, given that DC has essentially distanced itself away from everything that made pre-N52 Red Hood work.
