Batman: No Man's Land, Vol. 2 by Various, Chuck Dixon, Larry Hama, Greg Rucka

3.0

I enjoyed this compilation a lot more. This volume actually gives more information about the setup of "No Man's Land": Nick Scratch (for some reason) convinced the government to abandon & isolate Gotham City. Azrael (his nemesis?) has followed him to Gotham to deal with him.

Gotham is still dealing with having its entire infrastructure gutted, but there are at least a couple of comic-relief type stories thrown in for fun. We also get a new Batgirl - one with way less drama. Sadly, I'm assuming this is mostly due to her being nearly mute, rather than having a stable personality. But let's be honest, it's not the down-to-earth reasonable types that are going to throw everything to the wind & don a spandex suit to face off against psychopaths.

Vol 3 here I come!
