So here comes another perspective on the Batman. Yet another look at Bruce Wayne and the things that continue to drive him. Not so different from Year One except that this has a much more contemporary feel. Nor does it have enough in depth background to convert new users. In the end its a well put together attempt with a interesting criminal boss and maybe good future potential. I just wish they would cut down on the long winded lines each character spouts.

Panel layout throughout the whole book is insane, especially in the beginning where the truck scene is shown from all possible angles on just two pages! Although the art style is pretty typical for comics and not very detailed.
Overall there are some really interesting features in this origin story, but the first villain is really not threatening, even tells his whole plan at one point.
Looking forward to reading the next volume.
