Batman: No Man's Land, Vol. 2 by Various, Chuck Dixon, Larry Hama, Greg Rucka
3.0
It starts off with a four way war between Two face, Penguin and GCPD and Bats and well one is captured and the other loses the land, then we see the origin of Cass, an adventure of the YJ here in Gotham vs Ferak, one of Ivy's creation and its an alright story. Then we find the real identity of Batgirl and maybe another one takes the mantle and Azrael vs Nick Scratch which was just epic! Batman helps Francine, wife of Man-bat and she also becomes one, to rescue her son from the Penguin. There is a identity crisis of Batman with some Dr and Two-face which was an okayish story. The big story is Nightwing breaking into Blackgate and fighting a guy named Lock-up and other villains to free them from there. Its an okayish story. And then Batman and Ivy vs Clayface which was too good! Also huntress! Catwoman must steal some things for Batman and she does from NYC and its funny and I love the action and then we have her going against Hardcase Inc and Maxie Zeus but even though she steals it, it goes sideways as she took a detour and then we have a story of Batman vs Mr Freeze which was alright and a meh story.
This was overall an okayish type of volume and continues the No mans land story and has Batman face off against different villains and I like how it still focuses on Azrael, Nightwing and Catwoman and building to something big with them and then the big story with Oracle connecting them and those discs. I like multiple writers here but they have the same POV and are in sync and it doesn't feel out of place here though. The art in some issues was dull but still okay considering it was 90s but the main deal is the fun and showing all aspects of Gotham in wake of this devastation and the effects continue to be felt and its awesome! A great sequel and read!
