A great follow-up to volume 1 - I really enjoyed this book and art. I like how the characters are developing and learning about each other. Several interesting plot twists throughout, including a couple at the end of the book. ( )

A continuation of the "Batman - Earth One" reboot, with a young Batman still learning as he goes, and a much more formidable Alfred helping him along. The Riddler is the main baddie here, although "Killer Croc" turns up with a much different treatment than of old. We also see a reboot of the classic "Two-Face" origin, again a different treatment. This is an interesting series, but I am much more intrigued by the work being done in the "Superman - Earth One" books. Perhaps someday we'll see the two heroes meet. "Worlds Finest - Earth One", maybe? ( )

I loved the first volume of this title and so I was very excited to read this one, and for the most part it lived up to that excitement.

There was a lot going on. Killer Croc possibly eating people in the Gotham sewers, I really liked how that story went. We found out that Jessica Dent, Harvey’s twin sister, and Bruce Wayne have a past. Got to meet the Riddler and maybe also Catwoman (that was cool and subtle).

This universe is just so much twistier than the main universe. And I also found it really weird to read about a non-meticulous, non-superior detective, not perfect (in fighting or detecting) Batman. Totally weirded me out. Still, it was a cool TPB. So-- when’s the next Volume. Heh heh...
