Batman: Earth One Vol. 2 by Geoff Johns

5.0

Wow. Just wow.


Like I said on my review of Volume 1, the way Batman: Earth One's story seems different, but at the core, is very similar to the original Batman story we all know.


Batman always had a darker undertone to his stories, and it's one of the things that drawn me to this read more of him. I like humor, but I'm always fascinated with darker stories; this one is definitely more darker than any other Superhero comic books I've read so far.


The Riddler made an appearance in this volume, and I have to say, I really liked him. He was menacing as the villain, but his motivations were unclear, at least for me. I know what he wants, but the question I ended up asking myself was "why?". Then there's also the case of "how" he managed to have gathered all those information that he has and how did he do the things he did.


I actually like Volume 2 more than the first one, because of the villain and you know the gravity of situation should Batman fail to stop the Riddler.


I think there's only two volumes for this series, which sucks in my opinion, and I definitely want more! I want to see more of this vulnerable Batman. I liked how he actually care about someone, while on others I've read, he only cares about putting criminals in jail. Again, this is all basing on what I've read and watched from the movies, so don't judge me right away for not knowing my Batman shit, because I would just definitely agree with you, I really don't know much about Batman - but I am trying to.


Final words on this is that, I really do like this and I hope there's more. Geoff Johns, I'll be stalking you, and that goes for you too, Gary Frank.
