The mean streets of Gotham City have gotten meaner as the likes of Harvey Dent and Killer Croc roam free, brutalizing the population. Where is Batman and why hasn't he responded to the cries of a city in peril?! Can Bruce Wayne find the answers before the mysterious Red Mask captures him? Chip Zdarsky and Jorge Jimnez continue their incredible Batman run with Batman Vol. 2: The Bat-Man of Gotham!

That was a LOT. Not entirely certain if this particular storyline continues after this book, but at least for now, I think I've had my fill of alternate worlds where Batman is in even rougher shape.
The multiverse, the look at Batman and the Joker, their psychology, remains interesting, but the emphasis on endless battle is exhausting. I'm glad to see Tim go looking, but the poor boy's still full of drama, 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 obviously my preferred story lightener is Nightwing, and he wasn't featured.
And one could argue, the catalysts put forth in Batman: Failsafe, the robot and the subconscious, are not resolved. If the story continues beyond this volume, that makes sense, but it makes for a less satisfying ending to this one, and the story within this volume was not engaging enough to make me want to pursue the finale. 💁🏼‍♂️

The tour through different universes was exhilarating, but Batman's time in exile in another universe was pretty boring. The biggest problem is that back-up artist Mike Hawthorne's art just isn't very good.

RamsFan1963 I borrowed this from the library, but now I might skip reading it 2w
JLaurenceCohen @RamsFan1963 you can honestly read the next volume without missing much 2w
