Batman Earth One vol.2
Hope not fear. Six months have passed when Volume 2 picks up. Who was this mystery villain? The Riddler thats who! And he is dope. Not the cartoon version but a more dark and sinister version. Something Chris Nolan would have done had he the chance to put him on the big screen. Batman gets new tech, new gear and a hint at a vehicle. I did not talk much about Lucious Fox who is a young man and head of Wayne corporations research and development department. The relationship between Gordan and Batman molds and grows beautifully and Batman asks Gordon for help now and then. Mayor Cobblepot has died and Gotham City is as corrupt as ever. The Dent's have grown in power where Jessica is mayor and Harvey is the district attorney. We also meet Killer Croc however, as re-imagined, Killer Croc has a conversation with Batman and we learn he is hiding in the sewers because he wants to remain hidden and society will destroy him. Moving on, The Riddler is causing chaos and trying to figure out who Batman is and vice versa. This is a continuation and as a chapter 2, volume 2, we need the ball to keep rolling which it does very well. Not as good as volume 1, but when in history as a part two ever been better than part 1? Except that one movie? Just that one time. Alas we get to the end of the book and we are introduced a new villain. I like this villain of the week type idea. I am looking forward to volume 3.-Alan Tooma
