jean-paul was disgusting in Batman (1940-)#503-504 and Catwoman #7, and i honestly only ever somewhat liked him in Batman (1940-) #505. there are, naturally, a number of politically incorrect things in Knightquest don't even get me started on dr. kinsolving , but all that aside, i was mostly bored. i miss bruce, and tbh i miss bane too. hopefully the next part is better

A very repetitive set of issues here, and definitely a step down from the first volume.
However, it’s still entertaining, the art is fantastic, and there are some storylines in here that work, particularly the Joker becoming a film director.

This is a big boi to read and not quite as good as vol 1. In vol 1, John Paul Valley takes over for Bruce Wayne as Batman and I don't like it one bit. He is nuts! At the end of vol 1, Bruce leaves Robin in charge of Batman. As if a boy who isn't even old enough to have a license (he gets a special one because his dad is in a wheelchair) can keep a mentally unstable adult man in check. Even if he IS Robin, that means nothing when the mentally unstable adult man is a brainwashed assassin who struggles daily to not fall into the trap of his brainwashing. Like, Bruce, what's your deal?? I know you are broken because of Bane but like, your mind is fine. What made you think that was a good idea? And then there are some parts with Cat Woman and I have never read Cat Woman or watched much with her in it aside from the cartoons and whatever live action movies she is in so I was fully unprepared for the overly sexual way she was drawn. Like, it was clear a man drew her and wrote her because the gross thoughts John Paul Valley was having about her. They were creepy stalker/creepy evangelical right wing nut job and it made me super uncomfortable to read that part. Some of the comics after that point were better than the ones before it. Like the Abbatoir arc was interesting because (without spoiling anything) it changed some people's opinions on Batman.
Took me longer than expected to get through this one. There were quite a few stories I found boring, but also enough interesting ones to keep me reading.
Maybe it would be more interesting if we got me of Jean's background? This is my first exposure to the character so maybe it's better with more knowledge.
I still plan to pick up the third volume since I want to know how the story ends.
