Major changes for two members of the Batman family ahead of DC Comics Rebirth.

Batman and Robin Eternal #26 marked the finale of the weekly series. It was the end of the Bat-family’s war with Mother and a new beginning for Cassandra Cain.

Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV were the show runners of the weekly series with a team of writers and artists. The duo wrote the big finish.

The story featured nearly every sidekick of Bruce Wayne and was The New 52 introduction of Cassandra Cain.

Cain chose an appropriate new code-name and one young hero is turned in the mask at the end of this final issue.

What does this mean for the Bat-family?
