3.0

More uneven than Vol 1, even discounting for the inclusion of the stand alone Zero issue and Annual. Daniel's art was again impressive but the stories weren't as interesting as those in the first volume. The Talon attack on Arkham had the feel of a tie into a cross title story of some kind but I haven't read the rest and I am not sure. The Zero issue was the highlight of this volume with it's story set during Bruce Wayne's pre-batman training days. The Annual stories about Two Face were disappointing, the art was so dark and shadow filled you couldn't tell who was who a lot of the time which made the story unintentionally confusing.
