This is only the third Batman centric comic I have ever read, and I was brought to tears several times in the reading of this volume. I enjoyed the soap opera feel to the plot. I am pleased to say that I correctly suspected the culprit from the moment they were introduced… I liked the interplay of teamwork.

This is another book that I really wished I could give a 3.5 to. I did like it, quite a bit, but the more I chew on it, the more I find little flaws here and there. Ultimately, I ended up thinking that the cavalcade of stars worked fine, though I do feel like I was drowning in them by the end, and had a little trouble remembering who was doing what. I could see the ending from way back on page 2 of the first volume, and had hope that I was wrong at many points in the book with different red herrings and exciting moments, but it all came together as I had suspected. The problem is, I don't know that I'm incredibly perceptive, but that the clues were all spoon fed to me. Comic book dialogue and text is so expository that it's painful at times.

The artwork is incredible though. The characters look better than most Batman graphic novels. I liked the thread about Batman and Catwoman up until the very end, and then kind of hated Batman for the choices he made, which I think I'm okay with. I'd recommend this for big fans of Batman, but not for people new to the franchise. It's just too damned overwhelming.

Qué maravilla de segunda parte.

A riesgo de sonar repetitiva, cómo me gusta el dibujo de Jim Lee. Es que disfruto como una niña con cada escena, dedicando unos segundos a observar los detalles. Y menudos giros, uno tras otro.

Una vez más, ha sido de lo más divertido volver a embarcarme en un cómic de Batman. Espero seguir pronto con más.

Copio el del primer volumen:
Una historia de Batman escrita por [a:Jeph Loeb|32594|Jeph Loeb|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1214852516p2/32594.jpg] que aunque haya abandonado a su colaborador habitual [a:Tim Sale|61388|Tim Sale|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] mantiene el esquema habitual en sus historias ([b:Batman: The Long Halloween|106069|Batman The Long Halloween|Jeph Loeb|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1350137101l/106069._SY75_.jpg|680248] o [b:Batman: Dark Victory|106076|Batman Dark Victory|Jeph Loeb|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327940341l/106076._SY75_.jpg|1399464]) organizadas alrededor de un villano misterioso
Spoiler(en este caso no tanto, porque los amigos de la infancia de Bruce Wayne tienen más peligro que los sobrinos de Jessica Fletcher)
y estructuradas alrededor de villanos y aliados de la semana que permiten recorrer todo el panteón de personajes de Batman hasta desentrañar, ya casi por descarte, el misterio final. En este caso el argumento es tan retorcido y da tantas vueltas que queda en evidencia lo absurdo de toda la historia. Tiene, aun así, buenos momentos como la visita a Metrópolis o la nueva relación con Catwoman. El dibujo de [a:Jim Lee|15090|Jim Lee|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1298864865p2/15090.jpg] proporciona una perspectiva distinta, más realista y espectacular aunque al abusar de grandes paneles corta la complejidad del argumento.

I'm not really sure why this story arc was so popular - I think it was mostly due to Jim Lee being the artist. It's an okay Batman story and does further the larger arcs in his life a bit, but it's not exactly worth the hype in my opinion. The major plot points turn on several unrealistic "surprise!" gimmicks; in that respect it's more of a somewhat lame attempt at a big shake-up in the batverse thriller than a solid or intriguing detective story.
