Oct 20, Anne rated it really liked it Shelves: comicsgraphic-novelsread-in I thought this was waaay better than the first volumemainly because the whole ridiculous did Bruce actually get Mother to create a new sidekick for him?! Nobody's falling for that. Batman & Robin Eternal: Volume 2, yeah, this was probably a tad too long though not as long as Batman Eternalbut this was more Batman & Robin Eternal: Volume 2 in that you got to see all of the Batkids interacting with each other. Even if I had some problems with I thought this was waaay better than the first volumemainly because the whole ridiculous did Bruce actually get Mother to create a new sidekick for him?! Even if I had some problems with the plot, I still enjoyed seeing everyone together. As for the main villain? Looks like Mother might be one of those Ra's al Ghul ish characters that you can never quite kill, so I'm betting she shows up again in the future. I think they added a little extra oomph to the overall plot. Oh, and Jason's flashback with Mother's toxin? Yeah, I really thought that was kinda brilliant. In the end, when I compared it to my feelings on the Batman Eternal stuff, I thought this was a superior closing volume. Then again, that could just be Bat-burnout talking Nov 30, Chad rated it really liked it. Better than volume 1. All of the Bat sidekicks are trying to stop the one person that Batman couldn't defeat, Mother. She's a master at brainwashing children and has this plot to brainwash all the children in the world to make them stronger. Well written with a rotating group of great artists. I just get the feeling that either Snyder and Tynion hate Cassandra or they just don't know what to do with her because I've hated her characterization since the first volume of this series. Cassandra Cain is one of my top 5 favorite comic book characters. Cassandra Cain is the child of David Cain and Shiva. She was raised in silence, learned to 3. She was raised in silence, learned to understand others through body language alone and was made to kill at a very young age. The very first time her father made her assassinate someone, she realized what she was made to do, was horrified and she ran away. She was given a "gift" to understand others and think the same way you or I do and it threw off her fighting style for a while but eventually, she adjusted and even defeated Shiva, then thought to be the best fighter in the DC universe. She learned to communicate verbally and she learned to read. She developed all of this in her own solo series. Now, let's talk about Orphan. Orphan is the child of David Cain and I'm not sure if Shiva is her mother. David Cain was traumatized and turned into a servant for Mother. David gave Cassandra to Mother to be turned into a weapon. Cassandra doesn't speak much. Cassandra grew up in assassin school. Cassandra was never adopted Batman & Robin Eternal: Volume 2 Bruce Wayne. Cassandra was never taken under Barbara Gordon's wing and never learned to stick up for herself. Cassandra didn't get an apartment in Bludhaven and take over protecting a city. Cassandra never defied Bruce Wayne's orders and befriended Stephanie Brown Batman & Robin Eternal: Volume 2. Cassandra never learned to grieve. Orphan's story is all about her relationship to Batman & Robin Eternal: Volume 2 Cain and what the Mother made her do. For some reason, Tynion and Snyder thought it would be more interesting to essentially turn my daughter Cass into The Winter Soldier 2. I'm pretty sure this book came out first but Batman & Robin Eternal: Volume 2 point is - Cassandra Cain is not Bucky. Cassandra Cain was not Batman & Robin Eternal: Volume 2 result of her father joining a cult. Cain turned her into a weapon because of his own selfishness. There is a much more complicated, nuanced relationship in the pre 52 and Snyder and Tynion ignored that for this story. I don't understand why. In addition to that, she's barely gotten any development in Detective Comics either. She just fights with tiny, minuscule character moments thrown in. I miss my daughter! I miss her relationship with Bruce and Stephanie. Tynion basically stole her family and now she's about as close to Bruce and Stephanie as Clayface is and that's a travesty. Anyway, on to the rest of this book: I read the first volume a little while ago so I have no clue why I had so much trouble following what was going on in this one. The stuff with Tim, Jason and Azrael threw me off so much and eventually my eyes just glazed over. I don't love any of the art in this book. So, I didn't enjoy looking at it and when I was confused about the events, I didn't care enough to examine them closer. It's a shame because I quite enjoy Tim and Jason's chemistry. The bits with Bruce's past were pretty interesting. The parts with Dick and Helena were confusing to me because I'm pretty sure they pertain to the last dregs of Grayson and I haven't finished that series yet. Oddly enough, I'm Batman & Robin Eternal: Volume 2 a huge fan of that version of Helena because, while she is very pretty, she's basically just completely Batman & Robin Eternal: Volume 2. Her interactions with Dick basically consist of: Dick : Why did you lie to me? Helena : I have my reasons Dick: That's very, very not cool. Helena: We have a job to do! I'll explain later. That's their entire relationship here and in Grayson. The parts with Harper were very, very good. While I am mad that they pulled a Winter Soldier and the big crux of this was view spoiler [ Cass being made to kill Harper's mother hide spoiler ] I quite like Harper as a character. BATMAN AND ROBIN ETERNAL VOL. 2 | DC He mocks her efforts to stay alive, reminding that her life of hardship should have hardened her - and. It was published on October 14, The Batman & Robin Eternal: Volume 2 has pummelled Harper Row into submission, the horror of it sending her younger brother Cullen running. He mocks her efforts to stay alive, reminding that her life of hardship should have hardened her - and her brother has now abandoned her as all family does. Suddenly, though, Cassandra Cain leaps through the window of Harper's apartment and slams her heel into the Orphan's spine, and then Batman & Robin Eternal: Volume 2 her fist hard into his face. While Harper tries to recover some strength, Cassandra identifies the many hoses going into the Batman & Robin Eternal: Volume 2 face-mask as weaknesses, and tears them out. Dick Graysonmeanwhile, finally receives a call from Matron of Spyralwho insists that Poppy Ashemore had checked out when she was recruited - and this Mother threat is otherwise Batman & Robin Eternal: Volume 2 to Spyral. She suspects, as Dick does, that this has to do with his previous life as Robin or Nightwing. Dick is following that lead now, having identified Harper Row's name on the list he was given, and he now stands outside her apartment - where he sees a figure crashing through and upper window. Worriedly, he breaks communication until he knows where the leak is. As he makes his way up to Harper's apartment, leaping and swinging acrobatically up her fire-escape, he is witnessed by Stephanie Brownwho is a little more than impressed. As Cassandra and the Orphan's fight continues, Harper manages to grab her stun-gun and fires a bolt of electricity at him, sending him falling over the edge of her fire-escape, Batman & Robin Eternal: Volume 2 Dick, who instinctively grabs him on his way down. Looking up, he sees Cassandra looking down at her, and reacts with confusion - a hesitation that allows the Orphan to struggle free and escape. As Cassandra gives chase, she Batman & Robin Eternal: Volume 2 that Dick should go back for Harper. When he finds her and discovers that she is also a costumed vigilante, he reacts with disbelief - only to be further taken aback when Stephanie crashes through the door as the Spoilerwarning him away from Harper. With surprise, she recognizes him as Dick Grayson - who is supposed to be dead, as far as the public is concerned.

Other offers may also be available. Fort Worth, Texas, United States. So I was disappointed that they just magically fix Batgirl's problems 5 minutes in.

Four categories of action/adventure comics were defined and the five best-selling titles in each category were identified. Six issues of each title were analyzed for textual and visual stereotyping.

In the midst of No Man's Land, Batman gave a nameless girl with a violent past called Cassandra Cain the costume and title of Batgirl. Exceeding his expectations, the new, silent Batgirl quickly made the role her own, earning the trust of the Dark Knight's allies, including the first Batgirl, Oracle. Now, in post-No Man's Land Gotham City, Batgirl struggles to learn the lessons of how to live a normal life, lessons she never learned from her mentor, the deadly assassin known as Cain. A mercenary from her past resurfaces, bent on revenge. Batgirl must therefore bury her own violent tendencies and break the cycle of death and destruction that has dogged her since childhood. Batgirl, Vol. 1: Silent Knight. Cassandra Cain is a fighter like no other. At only 17, the teenage assassin takes down enemies three times her size without batting an eye.
