About this Collection

This volume collects the first half of the weekly 2015-2016 crossover event Batman and Robin Eternal, following the death of the New 52's Joker. As Batman and his extended family of allies investigate a global conspiracy tied to a mysterious figure from their past, they uncover secrets about Dick Grayson's time as Robin. Written by a team including Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV, with art by various artists, this trade paperback includes issues #1-6 of the series.

In "The End of the Beginning," a pivotal moment unfolds as the Sculptor, once a key player in Mother's designs, begins to question her allegiance. With Grayson and Bluebird caught in the crossfire, cryptic revelations about Cassandra’s origins and a hidden truth about Batman himself begin to surface—setting the stage for a story where loyalty is tested and secrets run deep. Written by Ed Brisson, James Tynion IV, and Scott Snyder, with dynamic art by Fernando Blanco and Christian Duce, and a striking cover by Tony S. Daniel and Sandu Florea, this issue marks a turning point in the ongoing saga.
