I thought it was an unnecessary retelling that did not diverge enough from canon in terms of plot to hold my interest, and at the same time, diverged too much from the characterization of Batman himself by trying to make him "real," but ultimately making him uninteresting and incompetent.Here, though, those weaknesses are softened in Volume 2, because it's not so much about Batman's origins and hitting well known points, and it's now free to explore whatever it wants to within Gotham. The main plot in this volume deals with Batman squaring off with a serial killer-esque version of the Riddler. There is a subplot with Killer Croc who (while not a character I'm often clamoring for) pays off with a larger role in the main story. I liked these aspects, and once again Gary Frank's art is solid.But there are still things that don't sit right when I read this again, like the "Two Face" storyline. Without getting into spoilers, there is just something that is too cute by half about how Johns handles this Two Face. Again, like in Volume 1, it gives the vibe of "Remember this!? Well hah, we're going to do it, but then change it slightly just to shock you!" But it's neither that shocking, nor that meaningful. Just a minor diversion built solely on reader expectation, and solely to subvert that expectation. So it ultimately left me with a feeling of, "Okay, you got me? But it was a practical joke I did not care much about? So...what now?"If this does continue on in a Volume 3, I hope they take advantage of the alternate universe and do something more with it in diverging from canon than slight tweaks for the sake of tweaks, otherwise, what's the point? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great story *by B***B on 13 April 2020* As I've come to expect from Geoff Johns, this story not only takes you for a fun, wild ride, but it explores who Batman is by changing many, man of the details of the Batman mythos while building on the core. This is a very different Batman from the one we all know and love, and all of the other characters are changed in major ways, also. That is what Earth 2 allows writers to do. But Batman's core principles and characteristics remain, and Johns is such a good writer, you're invested in the story. Highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good story but very different from other Batman stories *by R***E on 4 November 2017* I like the story, here the Riddler is not depicted as some silly clown in a green costume but is a sadistic killer and a real threat to Batman's safety. My only complaint centers more on how Dent/Two-Face is depicted. The story leaves us to believe that Harvey Dent dies after an attack and that his sister actually takes on a criminal persona. This is so different from every other depiction of Harvey Dent that I was taken aback.Also, in this story Dent and Bruce Wayne are not friendly with one another at all and they are not working together when Batman is involved. The artwork is fantastic, very detailed and the overall story is very well told but not what I had expected. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/262089150-batman-earth-one-vol-2](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/262089150-batman-earth-one-vol-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
