Well drawn and full of plot twists. The ridiculously large cast of characters was appealing at first, but cycled through too quickly to feel satisfying. Each new villain/ally got a few pages and then disappeared again before it felt they'd been used fully. The result was a confusing tease, and I ended the story with the feeling of failed potential. The seeds of a great story were here, but needed a bit more nurturing to take root. Batman's internal brooding was powerful and moving in some places, but used as a crutch to provide exposition in others, weakening the effect.
Ambos tomos son bastante entretenidos pero nada del otro mundo.
Creo que está especialmente bien para introducirse en el mundo de Batman ya que salen la mayoría de los villanos principales (lo más carismático de las historias del mejor detective del mundo) y compañeros junto a sus historias brevemente explicadas.

This was great! Even better than the first one, and so close to getting a full five stars. So many Batman characters in this volume, I loved seeing them all! This was definitely an awesome story arc, and I can see why it has all the praise it does. I highly recommend this to any Batman fan if you haven't read it already!! Also I did get my batboys featured, so my request from the last volume was fulfilled (-;

All the art was so polished in here that I almost didn't like it. It loses so much of it's emotion and feeling that way. If this graphic novel was made with the sketches I feel like it'd be more engaging.
As far as story/plot, it was only slightly interesting to me. The characters are very nice, though. I've always really loved the darker side that Batman characters always take, personality wise. They're always dark and doomed and serious, and...I like it. :p

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.

Spoiler
(en este caso no tanto, porque los amigos de la infancia de Bruce Wayne tienen más peligro que los sobrinos de Jessica Fletcher)
One of the best Batman's adventure ever.
Una delle migliori avventure di Batman che io ricordi.

this is a good time. new villain, and tons of old ones... And somehow, that tends to make for the best Batman stories. pretty satisfying throughout, and there was a great action figure tie-in with this, specifically Superman with the vine creeping up his neck. But this is about the books! So just read it, and have fun.
The big reveal was spoiled to me years ago but I still had a lot of fun (finally) reading this. The mystery was complex and nuanced and I loved how grand in scope it was. A really exciting read!
