Holy Red Sky Crossover, Batman!
Today’s chapter of Cataclysm… well, isn’t really one! We’re going to be paying off an ongoing story arc in Robin, and getting our boy home in time to see the Gotham skyline engulfed in flame. Please listen anyway… we’ve got NMaiLbag, and my usual bulletproof analysis. Um, please listen anyway.
This book only had the Cataclysm trade dress because of the month it came out. I hate it when editorial and the creative team can’t get on the same page so that one story can end before the other begins. They could have made the previous issue of Robin oversized to wrapup this storyline before Robin had to crossover with Cataclysm. This issue could have started off with Tim’s plane landing and then be about him trying to find out what happened and how to get back to Gotham.
