While the last couple of issues were a little shaky, this story delivers some pretty smooth sailing and points us directly at the finish line with plenty of wind in the sails. Featuring plenty of interesting action set pieces, riveting dialogue, and beautiful art. This is exactly what I needed to whet my appetite for the grand finale. Only two issues to go!

Overall, a decent issue that isn't as great as it should be, since we are just a few weeks out from the epic ending we have been building towards. Luckily, we have two more issues that should be top-notch. Read Full Review
In Conclusion: Though the overall narrative is merely moving pieces around on the board without victory or defeat, Orlandos fun action and dialogue bump the rating a tiny bit up. Read Full Review
"Batman and Robin Eternal" #24 is in many ways reflective of the series as a whole; it's been a bit more straightforward and without all of the intertwined plot threads of "Batman Eternal," and it also feels focused and to the point. It's been a fun series, and I'm glad it wasn't stretched out over a full year this time around. Read Full Review
As a standalone issue #24 isn't the most essential of installments, but as a stepping stone to bigger things it does its job. Read Full Review
Does the good outweigh the not-so-good? I would say it's a wash. BATMAN AND ROBIN ETERNAL #24 definitely had potential to be a great issue, but it faces the same page problem that the entire series faces. It isn't that the concept of BATMAN AND ROBIN ETERNAL is stale or anything, the book just needs to be rethought to tell different kinds of stories. Instead of making yet another large, expansive Bat-book, DC would probably be better off using this book to tell smaller, tighter, more isolated stories. It could be a great opportunity to focus on developing each Robin more by cutting out some of the noise that BATMAN AND ROBIN ETERNAL currently has. Tynion IV and Co. are doing great with what they have, but they need to be given something else if DC wants a book that can really stand out. Read Full Review
This was not the worst issue of Batman and Robin Eternal. Steve Orlando spends most of his time setting up the last two issues of the series and that's the issues strength and it's weakness. While it all could pay off big in the long run, as a single issue, it was middle of the road. With how this series has gone, I'll take it. Read Full Review
Until the very end, its pretty much filler, pretty decent filler, especially the bits with Spoiler and Midnighter, and the ending cliffhanger is...interesting.
