I feel a little mixed about my three stars here. Tony Daniel's art gets five stars, easy. The story I would maybe give a four. Not the best, but still interesting with tie ins to the Scott Snyder stories. The reste of the "add-ons" in this book range between two and three stars. I really could have done without the "short stories" at the end of this volume. They were written and drawn by other authors and artists, and they didn't really add anything to the main story at all. So, the volume overall gets three stars. Still, the Daniel's stories are worth reading for the art alone. Disjointed. There seems to be a mystery story somewhere in here, but I was confused. Characters are introduced and then never seen again. Plots last for an issue or so and then never go anywhere. I was really impressed with the New 52's first wave, but the second has been lackluster so far.Also contains a story about Bruce's pre-Batman training and some random Two-Face happenings for no obvious reason.
Not as strong as the first volume. I did enkoy the Two Face stories at the end.

Volume 1 was better. But it's still Batman.
