Not much to talk about in this issue other than knowing that the two strangers will play a bigger part in the story. I dont trust them though. Lets see how it ends up on #3.

The second issue gets five stars just for King's dialogue for Alfred alone. Get issue.

So the series is catching some momentum , in this issue Batman Decides that he can't rely on his mortality to catch up with him and later Dick so he decides to trust Gotham and Gotham Girl and brings them in on the whole Suicide killings of gotham story .
Meanwhile as King had suggested the Villain was revealed and it was indeed what one expected with the "Observe the Clock" hint , similar to the actual Batman #1 issue by bob kane. There was also the announcement of the MONSTER MEN the upcoming megastar batman issues of the future .
Anyways parts of this comic were really good , like the interaction of Batman with Jim Gordon and Bruce and Alfred . Alfred's Snarky , Saracastic and witty remarks really made it fun to read and story wise i'd have given it a 5 or 4.5 star but the art still is very rusty and i really dislike the panels where Batman is standing or not doing his stealth stuff . Basically the Art just pains me too much for a Batman comics that said the colors have been really good and top notch it's just the sketch that bothers me.
There's still the fact that i am clueless with where Tom King is headed with his Batman , i knew he was gonna have a rough time following up on Scott Snyder but still right now i don't know anything about the Gotham and Gotham Girl , i don't know what their characters are like , i don't even know what Batman is trying to do here most of the time and that is really really frustrating
King had told the audiences that his stories would be focused on Giving Batman and Bruce what they deserve and sadly i still fail to see what he meant or what Batman deserves

Batman contemplates his demise, then Dick's , and so on. Gordon receives a confession from Grundy's released who then kills himself after mentioning monster men. Ends with Dr. strange congratulating Miss Waller for saving the city.
