BATMAN ETERNAL Megathread (35-48)

[brucekent12]

As I said previously, I'm really enjoying the book, I've een a big fan since the beginning, but I'm just not into the Arkham stuff. If you are, more power to you, I'll be glad when the section of the story is OVER. Overall, I'll give the book a 4.5 out of 5 with the . for bringing back Stephanie and introducing Julia. Best new character in forever!

Julia Pennyworth has been around since the early 80's.

Apart from the first name the Julia Pennyworth of Batman Eternal is indeed a brand new creation though. The first was a civilian and largely functioned as a love interest to Bruce Wayne, the second is elite military and active mission support and field op. IF we find out later her mother was also the French agent Marie then yeah she may have more in common with the first Julia.

Likewise Jason Bard. First guy was a private dick (never a cop), close ally to Barbara Gordon and at one point Batman's street-level "eyes and ears" in daylight hours. If the new guy was called Henry McBumbum you'd never now he was supposed to be a New 52 Jason Bard.

Average art, loose ends tied off, Updated Batgirl, Filler issue.

Ha at the end reveal. I'm going to end up being right about everything, aren't I?

Also, this was good.

[Fuzzy Cactus]

Thought the dialogue felt really stiff this episode. Harper's speech at the beginning, Bard's whole motive reveal, etc. It felt off. And I really hope they're not trying to make Tim and Harper a thing. The whole Jason and Barbara "tease", as brief as it was, was cringey enough.

[RobinFan4880]

Enjoyable issue, especially as it wrapped up many of the loose ends and teased the final act.

So Batman and Robin is officially set either before or during the early stages of Eternal (since babs was wearing her old outfit in b&r and now she is wearing her new one in Eternal).

Tim and Harper being a couple was set up long ago, now we're getting pay off.

Not getting books til tomorrow, please everyone don't reveal Jason's motive in this thread. If someone must, PLEASE put spoiler alert so it can be avoided. THANHS!

To be doubly sure, just avoid this thread until you read the book tomorrow. Its not that long of a wait
