Hey all! It seems there is not already a thread for discussion of this OGN.

I must say. Geoff Johns' second volume of Batman: Earth one once again is great. I had not enjoyed at all the first two Superman: Earth One volumes. I also was found greatly wanting after reading The Killing Joke, oddly enough. I had begun to think it was the OGN format I disliked as there was not enough room to fit in as much story as you'd fit into a six to twelve issue comic arc. But Johns' first Batman: Earth One proved that theory wrong, as I greatly enjoyed that. And he manages to do it again with Volume 2. Now let me also say, I did also enjoy Superman: Earth One- Volume 3, surprisingly.

First of all let me say, that it seems that the Earth One books seem to be getting a repetitive shtick. As in both Superman: Earth One- Volume 3 and Batman: Earth One- Volume 2 a character with the name of a big villain of each hero dies and a female relative of that character goes on to become that villain. It does seem concerning especially, in that they happened so close together in the same imprint, which only releases a few books a year. But if they leave it at that, it may be fine.

Now to the hype. Johns has introduced three key villains for future volumes. Two-Face, Killer Croc, and Catwoman, and two, and possibly all three of them, know his secret identity. I look forward to reading about these characters in future volumes. And I greatly enjoyed how Johns weaved the Riddler plot into the fallout from the first volume, and the creation of Two-Face.

And that is what I have to say. Everyone else, please post your thoughts below.

@kilowog52: I found it to be very enjoyable as well and I cant Wait for the next volume.

Read it.
Truly enjoyed it. I found it a bit anti-climactic but it was nice.

I heard Geoff made Batman look like a chump once again. These books should be read like parodies like how most read ASBAR.

I loved it! Bit weird how Harvey's sister became Two-Face, I'm not sure how I feel on that after a similar thing happening in Superman: Earth One's lastest book too, but all in all I thought this was a great continuation from the first book.

Riddler was great, as was the new take on Killer Croc - I'm hoping we see a lot more of Croc soon, as he really stood out. I can't wait until Volume 3 hits shelves.
