Hit Them WIth The Taser Web!
The Story So Far
This issue is just an all out Melee. You have the police and all the Robins fighting off all of Terminus' goon. Batman pulls out the augmented Batsuit from the Batmobile and goes toe to toe with Terminus. Terminus' suit has a timer on it and when the clock runs out it appears that both he and Gotham have run out of time.

Robins! Okay technically only two Robins and Nightwing and the Red Hood, but Robins! It was cool seeing them all fight together, even if it wasn't against each other. And the scene with Robin and Nightwing was awesome. It made me like Nightwing a lot more. He tells Damian what I think most people have thought about him since the whole series was rebooted.
Same as the last issue, this one was filled with some great panels. I am a fan of Batman having some kind of glowing bat on his chest. He just looks like a bad ass when just his eyes and chest are glowing. I am a fan of this suit. The panel with the Robins looking up into the sky is very epic. If I have another son, I might make my boys pose like that in a picture some day. Great art all around.

Terminus' plan wasn't very original and we've scene it before, but the issue was entertaining enough to make that matter less. When batman gets the augmented suit out of the Batmobile it looks like regular suit from far away and then once he has it on, its a cool robotic suit. That inconsistency just bugged me.
Your Job
I can highly recommend the entire run of Batman and Robin of the new 52. This issue is definitely a pick up and I would recommend at least getting the last two in order to get all of the Robin War material. It was a lot cooler than I first thought it would be. I wouldn't say Batman and Robin is better than Batman, but in some ways it was been more entertaining, if that make sense.
