This series continues to underwhelm me given that I really, really wanted to enjoy it: okay storyline, not a fan of the art.

The One Where Batman Writes Fanfiction About His Kids

[Kastie Pavlik · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm just glad we didn't have to witness each Robin's virtual gauntlet. Ditto the other reviews. This wasn't great to start with and it's not doing itself any favors. I'm ignoring the art. The consensus on that is near unanimous. For some reason, I'm still curious about the girl. But only for one more issue. Did she not give Tim a virtual gauntlet because his life is better as a Robin and she couldn't put a negative spin on it? Does she blame him for her position more than the others? As far as the story goes, that's what I want to know.

This is so disappointing, I almost don't even know wtf is going on tbh.

This plot is so weird and disjointed and I feel like it’s lost a bit of its charm? I don’t know, it’s not the worst thing I’ve ever read but it’s not great. I actually did enjoy some of the commentary on the robins in this one, and how Batman sees them from his perspective in alternative realities, but it’s a bit goofy lol

[Clay Bartel · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm pretty disconnected from this series.

Honestly I feel like I've not been following it and maybe that's due to lack of interest/focus...

At this point the crew finds themselves in some virtual reality...

I need to reread this series once all 6 issues are out. Maybe I'd rate it higher on a second reading.

The longer this goes on, the more I'm beginning to actively dislike it. If there is some kind of coherent plot in this, I've lost it.

Fun enough commentary on the Robins

[Sam · Rating 4 out of 5]

Honestly I think this was one of the stronger issues for me, had interesting commentary on the robins

How dare they whitewash Damien. Sigh.

I don’t even know what’s going on and I just hate this comic. Idky I decided to read the entire thing, this was a waste of time. And the art is atrocious💩
