Batman Eternal, Volume 2 by Scott Snyder, Tim Seeley
4.0
More of the ever entangling Batplots! Some I definitely enjoy more than other, but the ones in this that I like, I Really like.
I obviously enjoyed the small Batfam moments - all coming together to help quell the riots. Tim again gets mostly pushed to the side, but he, Jason and Barbara have some fun littler interactions. I liked Jason actually showing some of his heart to Barbara before leaving (also proving to her that she's not a killer, even if she hates Bard for imprisoning her father, she won't let someone die). I also like how they set up Selena's arc for the next volume - let her be a crimelord!! and save cats!!
Everyone hates the random Joker's daughter story. So do I. The magic plotline with Batwing and Corrigan feels like a waste of time, now that Arkham just got leveled anyway. Guess it's back to dumping criminals into Blackgate again
I don't mind Hush as the main villain. He has almost all of Batman's skills and knows his secrets? Sure, it makes for an interesting plot at least. I'm not sure how Batman's bases blowing up leads to Wayne Enterprises getting dismantled? But okay - All the intersecting storylines are weaved together well enough (except for Joker's daughter/Arkham but oh well they were easy to skip over) so I'm interested to see where it will go.
