This is not a good Batman title. Better than volume 1, but that's pretty faint praise.

Started off decent then it seemed to be all over the place. The mad hatter face off with black mask was pretty badass and I loved the bonus story of Bruce training for like seven years. Everything else seemed to lose the main focus and I couldn't been finish the bonus arcs at the end which has never happened before.

Most of this book is hot, sci-fi nonsense with a Court of Owls side. The last third is a fun pre Batman story trying to retcon Bruce Wayne's commitment phobia and a so so Two Face story. Not great art, not great story telling.

More uneven than Vol 1, even discounting for the inclusion of the stand alone Zero issue and Annual. Daniel's art was again impressive but the stories weren't as interesting as those in the first volume. The Talon attack on Arkham had the feel of a tie into a cross title story of some kind but I haven't read the rest and I am not sure. The Zero issue was the highlight of this volume with it's story set during Bruce Wayne's pre-batman training days. The Annual stories about Two Face were disappointing, the art was so dark and shadow filled you couldn't tell who was who a lot of the time which made the story unintentionally confusing.
