    The creative team deliver one of the most important issue in this weekly series. Big questions were answers that even the character in the books were left shocked.

    Comic Vine - Corey 'Undeadpool' Schroeder Sep 3, 2014

    This is another solid entry in this series, and it feels like the beginning of a truly amazing storyline. The fact that its also a continuation of a previously started storyline is actually to its credit and a testament to how consistent the books been overall. I honestly cant wait to see what next weeks issue brings as these are two characters who couldnt be in better hands than they are now. Read Full Review

    All-Comic - Dan Leicht Sep 4, 2014

    This weeks issue focused mainly on Batman and how much he really depends on Alfred (Penny-one) during combat and stressed situations, creating a fun dynamic and great story. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Jim Werner Sep 9, 2014

    Batman: Eternal #22 wasn't the jaw dropper that #21 was, but it was still a good read.  Kyle Higgins gives us a huge moment with Julia Pennyworth and gets to revisit his Gates of Gotham.  While Jorge Lucus' style was okay, his art was unnecessarily confusing.  Fans of Baternal will still enjoy this issue as it pushes the story forward at a pretty good pace.

    Batman-News - Brandon Mulholand Sep 4, 2014

    While filled with lots of action and atmosphere that are both completely satisfying the story didn't allow me the ability to connect with the characters on a deeper level. Much of what is going on here is spectacle, but good spectacle nonetheless. Read Full Review

    Comix I Read - Boris Roberto Aguilar Sep 9, 2014

    This is a year long story that can really define the Batman universe for the New 52. This issue was really well done as we finally saw one story span the entire issue. The story itself was really good and I am excited to read the next issue. My overall rating of 3.5 is mainly based on this issue being a progression issue. I liked it but it didn't have the same wow factor the last couple issue have had. The art also brought the score down a bit for me.  Read Full Review

    Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills Sep 6, 2014

    It's a big mess of a comic, with so many twists and plots and characters that it has lost itself in its ambition. The comic remains professionally made, but the story has no heart. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Resources - Greg McElhatton Sep 8, 2014

    "Batman Eternal" #22 will hopefully work a bit better in the collected version of the series, but for now I'm still feeling a bit whiplashed from the sudden change of story and scene. (When do we get to see the Secret or Batwing and Jim Corrigan again?) Still, the surprise arrival of Lucas makes things not quite as disappointing as it otherwise might have been. Read Full Review

    Batman makes his way to the Architect, and tries to get information, when the Architect tells him to listen to the whispers… “SHHH”, as we see Hush killing the owner of the Beacon Tower. Batman now knows who is behind all this. Read Full Review
