Thoughts:
(1) The titles for the five team-up issues correspond to the five stages of grief. I've reached "despair."
(2) This book reminds me of “Under the Red Hood,” where Batman similarly went around to various associates to find out how people come back from the dead.
(3) Batman just drops in on lairs to beats up thugs. Feels very Chuck Dixon.

A few things:
(1) The "silent" issue was done really well. It definitely leans conceptual, but never felt artsy-fartsy. It's the kind of avant‐garde approach I enjoy.
(2) Batman's wrong, Superman never died in this continuity! Well, at least not yet.
(3) Apparently, Bruce Wayne prints his signature. Feels lazy. At least use a cursive font!

A few things:
(1) It's a bit strange to have a "Batman and Robin" book without Robin, but I guess this would be about Robin in the figurative/emblematic sense: as partner and protege to Batman, a meditation of sorts on the role.
(2) Hey, it's Carrie Kelley! She's canon now!
(3) Deaths never mean anything in comics, everyone comes back eventually.
