Review
Praise for Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s BATMAN:
“This is a book you need to read. Whether you’re a fan of comics or not.”—Huffington Post
“One of the best Batman runs in the history of the character.”—IGN
“A+. The hero’s got personality (and is unafraid to release a quip as sharp as a Batarang), a horde of supervillains, gumption to spare and a whole host of high-tech gadgetry to suitably impress longtime fans and those new to the Dark Knight.”—USA Today

Batman turned 75 this year (2014) and, among the many things DC put out to celebrate their biggest moneymaker’s anniversary, they launched Batman: Eternal, a weekly Batman serial. Plotted by current Batman writer and DC’s MVP, Scott Snyder, and his regular collaborator, James Tynion IV, Eternal is a sprawling mass of comics that includes nearly as many creators as it does characters!
Snyder and Tynion IV actually write very little of the book with the bulk written by Ray Fawkes, John Layman (who left DC shortly after this series launched), and Tim Seeley. Among the artistic talent is Jason Fabok, Dustin Nguyen, Guillem March, Mikel Janin, Andy Clarke, Trevor McCarthy and several others.
Even if you didn’t know Snyder plotted this series, it becomes immediately apparent that this is a Snyder Batman book because of all of the references to his previous Batman work that keep cropping up. Tyger Shark, Roadrunner and James Gordon Jr. all make appearances, as does Snyder’s Harper Row character (who’s taken to wearing a hideous blue Grifter mask), and another character who isn’t revealed until the end. Snyder’s Batman books are definitely worth reading but, if you haven’t already, check out The Black Mirror, The Gates of Gotham, and The Court of Owls before jumping into Eternal to get the most out of this book.
But I’m getting ahead of myself – is Batman: Eternal worth reading? It’s a hefty first volume with the first 21 issues collected and weighing in at 450 pages – it’ll take you a while to get through! And the answer is yay and nay. Because it’s not a great story and won’t go down as a classic but, if you’re a fan, it has lots of neat moments and scenes within it that many Batman readers will like.
Batman Eternal is an ambitious project to celebrate Batman’s 75th anniversary. This volume collects the first half a year long epic that has many of DC’s top talent. The writing is managed by Scott Synder and James Tynion, who plan out the entire story, while the actual story beats are handled by other writers like Tim Seely, John Layman, Ray Fawkes, and later Kyle Higgins. The art is handled by an even more massive list with the various issues being drawn by Jason Fabok, Dustin Nguyen, Andy Clarke, and others.
The book isn’t bad, as it’s a love letter to Batman that brings in many familiar faces, as well as some New 52 debuts that should have been done years ago! You will get to see the story spread from Batman in Tokyo, Batgirl and Red hood in South America, Batwing and Spectre in Arkham, and practically everything in-between. Some of the art is fantastic, particularly Jason Fabok who does the opening issues. Most artist try to add atmosphere to the different plot threads that all represent different parts of the Batman mythos.
The down side about all these things happening in this book is that the pacing is uneven. Some issues, the story moves fast and is just simply epic. Other issues feel like the series has to pump the breaks, and the story shows it as occasionally an issue contuines almost no momentum in the plot. The story threads are sometimes left hanging for several issues before it’s picked back up,(Batwing’s Story disappears for way to long!) Also some of returning characters that return aren’t really given great background explanations, so it’s impossible to known what of the old D.C. continuity stands, a problem that still plagues the New 52.
