By far not as good a read as the first part, all the problems from the first one i took more of an issue with here, there's a frankly redundant amount of inner monologue and the dialogues seemed even goofier to me than in the first part, especially since we learned close to nothing new about bruce that hadnt already been said in the first part. Not enough focus on the mystery, or at least it was all very fragmentary. Moth-er and this new cult had me gagged but that could turn out to be interesting idk
I still loved the art style though and it's interesting enough that i want to keep reading. This new younger and even darker batman is super interesting and i like the route they are taking w exploring more of his trauma and making him more violent. Maybe he'll even kill?

It was a little more interesting than the last issue. I'm a little more intrigued by the new cult. Or the Moth-er. *eye roll*
But it's always weird to see what's going on with Bruce's backstory and how it gets changed.
I don't know that this would be on a re-read list for me, but it's not on a "stop reading" list either.
