Batman and Robin Eternal #18
In "Past Projections," Red Robin races against time to analyze a dangerous virus linked to mind control, bringing it to Spyral for answers—only to wonder if the damage is already done. Flashbacks reveal a haunting moment from the past: Mother’s desperate escape from Batman, ending in a tragic suicide. Meanwhile, Orphan shares a painful truth with Bluebird—Cassandra’s role in her mother’s death. Written by Ed Brisson, James Tynion IV, and Scott Snyder, with art by Scot Eaton and inks by Wayne Faucher, this issue’s haunting tone and layered storytelling are perfectly captured in Tony S. Daniel’s striking cover.
