Robin Rises Omega.
I haven't been keeping up with Tomasi's Batman and... series, and my hunch is that this is, essentially, the issue of Batman and... that follows the most recent issue, albeit one that's double-sized and drawn by Andy Kubert instead of Patrick Gleason. Because it starts with Batman, Ra's al Ghul, Frankenstein, and their army facing off with an army from Apokalips on the side of the Himalayas.
Wait. That's not exactly true.
The first eight or so pages is a pretty decent summary of Morrison's Batman epic (including Final Crisis and Batman's journey through time), the early "New 52" Batman and Robin storylines, "Death of the Family," and Bruce's alienation of the rest of the Bat-family. If you're curious how it all fits together, Tomasi lays it out.
After that, there's a lot of exposition, a lot of fighting, a lot of exposition while fighting, a punk-ass Captain Marvel, Lex Luthor getting punched in the face, and a really pissed off Batman.
Overall, a felt a bit "meh" about it. It's effective at what it does, there's enough exposition so that someone could figure out what's happening, it has a good cliffhanger. But, it's also Batman fighting Parademons, and, to be frank, that's not exactly the kind of Batman story I like. Batman and the New Gods are a bit incongruous. Batman is a rational, highly trained human being. The New Gods are, well, as far in advance of humanity as we are in advance of frogs. I accepted it in Final Crisis because I understood what Morrison was working with -- to be free, man must murder the gods -- and I'm not sold on the idea that Batman must go to Apokalips to resurrect his son.
Still. Kubert's art looked nice, the opening sequence is effective and good, it's action packed, and Batman punches Luthor in the face. I think I like this new Tony Stark-ish Lex Luthor. I hope he sticks around.
Still not a New 52 fan... The second Johns left Green Lantern it went from my favorite book to something I really didn't care about following anymore.
