Can someone explain Last Rites to me? I get that Batman was locked up in a mind simulation, but what's the Lump? Where does this come from?
The Lump was an obscure New God weapon from Kirby's original Fourth World mythos.

The Lump is basically the thing that's running the simulation. Its job was to communicate with Batman. It was originally created by Granny Goodness to try to trap Mr. Miracle - obviously, it didn't work out so well.

Thanks, now I get it.
I suppose I should read Final Crisis and the Superman Beyond issues before I jump into Batman and Robin?

Yes. Super Beyond takes place right in the middle of FC btw.

Spare yourself from that horseshit and jump straight into Batman and Robin mm
