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.

omg. WHY DO THE BATMAN MOVIES NEVER DO SHIT LIKE THIS. THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD SERIES. OMG.

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.

Mooi. Zo lief, zo wreed, en zo tragisch. Jeph Loeb's the man!

It was great but the end chapter kinda bothered me;
I thought there was gonna be a bigger fight.

So. I read volume 1 and wasn't all that impressed except for the art. Except for the last page or 2. But this book was different. Better. I wanted the last page or two to be different. But otherwise this book was a wow book. Clearly showed that the creators of this book knew their subject. Understood who the Batman was when he wasn't also a crazy person. Used the team. Recognized that there was a team. Not sure I bought the actual mastermind behind all of the manipulation. But the journey was about as good as any Batman book I've seen. 4.5 of 5.
