A more pleasing, jam-packed grab bag than the last volume or just more up my alley?
As opposed to feeling disconnected from some of the material, I actually was engaged in each story, so that's definitely an improvement over the last volume!
Hunter or Hunted: love the more art than words action moment, the limited colour palette 1/?
The Batman with No Name: Bleak but interesting far future idea
Little Pyg, Little Pyg : creepy and colourful with Batman as the big bad wolf, I dig it.
Death Wish: Again, I'm pretty lacking in Lady Shiva lore, but I love that parental perspective with Batman about Cassandra Cain, 5d
Birds of Prey Memory Lane: felt like it had more to say, though there's no indicator of a follow up story
Down the Rabbit Hole: suffers from the - 'see the conclusion in this other comic book!' - that I hate - what is here is pretty intense in underlining how the social security net fails people with different mental faculties/processing from getting the help they should be eligible for/desperately need (and then there's the who 5d
Wight Witch in Stigma: had a strong Winter Soldier flavour, though it's possible that ending was darker than Barnes' fate - the art and colour are by different people but remained me of Gotham by Midnight - distinctive, little spooky, 5d
Eternity in Gotham: speaking of Gotham by Midnight, yet another character with a bit more of a paranormal flair, could see looking up Christopher Freeman/Eternity in his own comics.
The Bold Batman team-ups are definitely what I was looking for in this series: 5d
Demon Etrigan in Blood In and Blood Out was just bonkers, I am not ready for the deep lore that seems to come with the truly out there supernatural characters
On His Worst Nights, a cheeky way to end the volume, Riddler getting the best of him for a moment is a nice change of pace.
