So much meh. Two-Face is one of my faves, but this just sucks. Stupid plot, and some of the worst Batman dialogue I've ever read.

Man I miss James Tynion IV's run in Detective comics .
So This was good in parts , the first part of the book , running in continuity with the aftermath of the Bat-wedding , sees Batman do some Detective work , and it was fun to read that . Lately it does feel like the only detective work Batman does is punching people . This was him actually visiting crime scenes and tracing fallacies and collective evidence and then later.... well punching people .
This was also the first book that connected the Scott Snyder All Star Batman run , which I really did enjoy a lot , so I will count that as a pro for this book .And the best part of this book for me was the stunning artwork , Some of the splash panels in particular , I kept staring for way too long to appreciate them. There was also a short bit about Firefly and that was quite fascinating to read as well
But the plot in the end came off as way too convoluted , with a distinct lack of a proper villain. But the most grating thing for me was how Robinson's Batman behaved , he talked too lot , he threw jokes and kept explaining things to his enemies and making puns even and acting all jovial . This was in contrast to how the story started with Bruce struggling to cope with the events of Bat-wedding . And all the chatty things really made me feel like I was reading Dick Grayson's Robin and not Bruce Wayne's Batman

Meh, the plot started good and it makes the reader keep eager on it. But after the third or fourth part, all starts getting pretty predictable and boring. It's just an arc where Batman and Two-Face team up to beat a meh villain, after this, stuff goes back to normal and they'll continue being foes.

The art was mostly quite good. The story was convoluted and forgettable. Where’s the heart?

This was a good graphic novel. I enjoyed it.
This follows Batman as he figures out the who is causing the double themed crimes are taking place. It might just seem that Two Face is behind it all.
I really enjoyed seeing Batman trying to figure out the crimes that are taking place. It was interesting that he might have to team up with a criminal to figure it all out.
I had a good time reading this graphic novel.

Not sure what this was. The dialogue made little sense. The story was a mess. Characters behaving in ways that made no logical sense. Action that didn't seem to go with the art. Really, really bizarre.
