I really enjoyed book one and book two started really great so imagine how disappointed I was when I finished this.
I was not aware that #15 and #16 were parts of a big crossover event so I was confused when I got to #17 and the story with the joker never gets resolved and suddenly I don't know why they didn't add the Batman issue that apparently appears in the omnibus version. It would have at least ended that storyline properly and perhaps made me a tiny bit less confused.
This had way less robin than I was expecting and hoping for from my batman and robin book. I can understand why in the first half of the book but then the second half just... completely is about two face?? And I just simply did not care for it.
