BATMAN ETERNALis finally picking up how I wanted it to, especially in this issue. We are starting to get movement on Falcone's plans since his return to Gotham at the beginning of this arc and it seems that, as readers, we are in for one hell of a joy ride. This issue is a must read! Read Full Review

It's tough to find anything negative with this issue because Batman Eternal #7 is just plain fun, a word that is not usually associated with the Bat-books these days. If there is anything negative, it's perhaps the title's overall portrayal of (sigh) Police Commissioner Forbes. A character that started as a somewhat crooked cop with a hatred for vigilantes has now become a complete caricature over the course of Batman Eternal, culminating in this issue where he let'sProfessor Pyg gobecause "this city needs to get the message loud and clear. Gotham City P.D. doesn't work with capes." This is afterPyg has enslaved hundredsof people as Dollotrons and killed thousands more since getting out of Arkham Asylum. There is just no way, no way whatsoever, that anyone would do that, even if they work for gangsters and hate vigilantes. It really sticks out as the one blemish on Batman Eternal #7.

All around this issue successfully serves to push this series in the right direction. Another great look into Batman's gallery of villains and allies as well as reminders to key plot points made in earlier issues. Read Full Review

Batman: Eternal #7 gets the story back on the rails.  After weeks of head spinning stories, I finally see a little piece of the puzzle and I like it.  Catwoman fans will dig this issue, but Penguin fans may not recognize their favorite gangster.  I can actually say that I am looking forward to next week.

Batman Eternal being a weekly series has a lot to do to earn readers dollars. Thus far the story has shown a lot of promise, and we need more issues closer to this one rather then the last 2 to instill confidence for the future. Read Full Review

Unlike Futures End, Batman Eternalseems to be a weekly comic with promise. While it hasnt done anything spectacular yet, the reintroduction of Carmine Falcone, one of the great Batman villains, and the terrific creative team attached to the series give me hope that this will soon become an exciting read.

Not the best Batman Eternal has to offer thus far but far from the worst. Plus Professor Pyg! Read Full Review

On top of that, although Dan Jurgens provides the layouts for this third issue's art, Mark Irwin's finishes don't positively add to the overall look. You can tell that this is a weekly series with the art, as it looks rushed and inconsistent. These characters have proven in the past that they're unable to hold a series of their own so it's smart for DC to try and shine the spotlight on them in hopes of boosting their popularity and showing how interesting they can be, but unfortunately their efforts are so far going to waste.

In a weekly series like this, I don't want the writers to desperately fight for my attention span with explosions and 'kewl' moments every issue. I want them to take their time and build a truly powerful, memorable Batman story. But I'm pretty sure Batman Eternal is just going to be about the former. Read Full Review
