So, getting caught up on Batman & Robin. Read volumes 4 and 5, which were decent to good. Writing was generally solid, but the art was kinda all over the place in terms of quality. The progression in volume 4 where they bring in each member of the Batfamily starting with the newest members (Tim, then Jason, then Babs, Dick, and finally Alfred) was pretty cool, and very well executed, thematically. Tim was about trying to take apart the world, see how it ticks, and try to reverse engineer it. Investigation. Jason's was about trauma and violence, Bab's was... actually, Babs didn't really fit in. Dick's was about the past and what could have happened. Alfred's was about finally coming to an acceptance of that.
Volume 5 was sort of a weird diversion with all the Two Face stuff, but it was a pretty entertaining story anyway, so I can dig it.
Anyway, I know Robin Rises figures into this shindig somehow, but I couldn't find an order. Should I just move on to the single issues after Volume 5, and it'll signal me when to go for Rises, or am I better off finding out now?
EDIT: Oh, right, Catwoman. That one didn't really fit in either, but mostly because it would have slotted in a lot better after Alfred, thematically.
