BATMAN #658: Um... what? There are some nice touches in this conclusion to Grant Morrison's first arc - the rocket part and Robin's first words being "...s'okay... I stopped the bleeding..." being the main ones, for me - but did Grant forget to write a story for this issue or something? Nothing really felt organic, and the story just kind of stopped at the end without any attempt at resolution; it read as if it'd been plotted by Grant when he was five years old ("And then Batman finds the bad guy and flies there in a rocket and then they fight and then they blow up! The end"). Really, depressingly, unsatisfying, even if it's not actively bad or anything. Eh.
