This is where all the leftover Batman new 52 stories came to die I guess. First up is a terrible Future's End story where Batman decides to clone himself. Art's bad, story falls flat just like all the other Future's End stories have. Next up is from the Batman Annual and takes place before Bruce Wayne got his memory back. Bruce goes to take Wayne Manor back from Arkham Asylum and a few of the rogue's gallery are waiting for him. This was one of the better stories in the book with OK art by Roge

I think this is good at being what it is: an epilogue. We get the Futures End one shot and an Annual set before the return of Bruce Wayne Batman, both of which are enjoyable enough. Then we get the final 2 issues of Batman, which are kinda just one shots really to cap off the long run, one written by series writer Snyder and the other by his regular collaborator James TynionAll this stuff probably could have fit into the previous 2 volumes, but they wanted to pad out to an even 10 volumes

What a fucked up, cash grab last volume. Snyder and Capullo literally have one issue in this entire book which should have just been included in Volume 9. But where's the money in that?It's unfortunate because their issue is actually a fitting end to the series. Quiet, bittersweet, and peaceful. I'm glad to see Alfred's hand is back. It's a damn short story, yet still a solid 4 stars. Snyder's run really pulled me back into Batman comics with his unique gothic poeticism. And although this issue

Epilogue lives up to its name, in that it's just a sort of bye-bye volume made up of random leftover issues. Some are good, some are bad, and most are meh.If you're a Snyder/Capullo Batman completionist, you'll want it.Otherwise, see if you can borrow this one from the library or a friend, because I just don't think it's something most casual fans would want to pay $$ for it...but maybe I'm wrong?Ok, as others have mentioned, the best story by far was Snyder's farewell to Batman in issue 51. I c...

Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo weren’t just the standout creative team in DC’s New 52 (to be fair that wasn’t especially hard), even managing to outlive the poorly thought-out reboot, but are also arguably the finest creative team Batman’s ever had (Grant Morrison is the greatest Batman writer but he had a revolving door of artistic talent during his run from Frank Quitely to Tony Daniel to Andy Kubert whereas Snyder had a consistent collaborator in Capullo). The Court of Owls, Death of the Famil...

What was most frustrating about the ninth volume of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s run on Batman, which, although it featured a terrific climax for their last big arc Superheavy, their final issue wasn’t included. So as a bit of cash-in from DC, this tenth volume came into publication as it features whatever issue was left to staple together. However, this didn’t stop this Bat-fan collecting all ten volumes in a hardcover format.Beginning with Batman: Futures End #1, this issue – as part of The...

An average ending for a series that had some hard ups and soft downs. Love Snyder with Batman, but vol. 3 was the highlight by far and it never lived back up to that. Even in concluding the series.

The only volume with no coherent story. Instead a collection of 5 different short stories to conclude a bigger story that had allready a conclusion? (see future vision at Volume 9). Still first two stories add.. something to the whole Snyder story. The other 3 had their ups and downs. It is a 2.5/5ps. In total Snyder / Capullo "Batman" is one of the GREATEST Batman stories ever! A magnificent, bold, emotional and so-much-fun collection of 10 volumes! Thank you guys for this journey...

(B+) 77% | GoodNotes: Stale, albeit purpose-built, a bits-leftover patchwork quilt, it's decent but it hardly hooks: all better fits in prior books.

A mostly satisfying conclusion to this segment of Snyder’s Batman run. I say “mostly” because this is something of a scattershot grab bag of issues; it’s a little bit like watching Jeopardy with that one friend who thinks he’s a lot smarter than he is and who shouts out at least seven answers (well, technically, questions) for each question (technically answer), occasionally getting one right, but usually justifying a catastrophic series of misfires with comments like, “Oh, I thought they were r...

The Snyder-Capullo run of Batman was phenomenal. This is the best that have happened in DC's New 52 era. Not that I'm complaining though, Batman could have ended with the Endgame arc. Although Mr. Bloom is quite interesting and the end of his arc has the biggest boom the City of Gotham ever has, it pales compared with the other story arcs.An unnecessary volume. Batman could have ended with volume nine, but DC knows we have ten fingers, so there you have it.And then you get this, a completely unn...

Much better than Vol 8, the only other volume in the set I have read. In this volume Bruce Wayne is beginning to regain his Batman memories. Along with them we get a glimpse into Bruce's early days after the death of his parents.The artwork is well done and very dark, as is the media for Batman stories (that i know of). Watching Bruce don his Batman look once again is very refreshing and the stories are original (I thought so).This is an excellent read and makes me wish I had the other 8 volumes...

I don't know if I'm more disappointed that Scott Snyder is off the main Batman title or Greg Capullo. They both killed it and Im sad to see that era ended.

Its a collection of four stories basically. One is what is Gotham and is the final Capullo/Snyder story and it was fun seeing so many answers from its people and what Batman think it is and it connects to the first issue and thus comes full circle and I loved it. And the art was breath taking and then finally we have a story when Batman still had amnesia and he was attacked by Riddler and all and how he took them down even without bat gear that just shows how effective Bats is. Another story is

What new thing can I say about the cash grab Epilogue, volume 10 of the fine Snyder-Capullo run. Nothing, but that won’t stop me, sorry. I will say that these guys are among the best Batman creators ever, and I probably should just leave it that, but I’ll add that the ONLY piece they did in this mixed bag, “Gotham Is. . .” is the best thing in the volume, and should have been tacked on the end of the dramatic and memorable volume 9. It’s sort of reflective, a kind of bookend that takes us back t...

So it's a wrap-up to the series but it fails in several instances but I suppose it does well enough. The bar had been high previously so this one is disappointing. I doubt it was Snyder's decision but DC put in a lot of side stories which diluted the epilogue.The artwork was very good. OVERALL GRADE: B minus.

So let me make it clear. I thought this collection was a 2 star. Not all the stories. Future's End - 2/5 - Was okay. I honestly just read through it quickly, kind of boring. Rebirth 2/5 - I reviewed this with Rebirth Omnibus. Really boring, crappy ending, and I just didn't like this Bruce. Issue 52 - 3/5 - Was okay. I didn't feel like this much either. I think mostly comes to the art and Batman not sounding like...Batman? Issue 51 - 5/5 - This issue was stunning. This showed who and what Batman

i guess calling it Epilogue they were never trying to fool anyone but as a final volume to a great series its a complete letdown. The book contains various short stories that are scattered all over Bruce's life. Sure they tie into this series but it feels so strange knowing this is the last book. Maybe if they took out the "volume 10" and just called it epilogue everyone would be happier. The stories themselves are good but not great. Some involve Bruce coming home after is was Arkham asylum. An...

3 stars

Boy, Snyder and company just aren't even trying anymore. There is absolutely no reason to read this volume. It's not a wrap-up of anything, despite being called "Epilogue." It's just a mish-mash of disconnected one-off stories that do nothing to highlight or expand upon the stories that came before. I'd even argue the only thing they do is hurt the previous volumes, thanks to a bunch of dumb, poorly-executed premises. Worst of all, there's only one story in this entire thing written by Snyder &
