While I usually find fault with the way Snyder ends his stories I've never minded his beginnings as he usually finds an interesting way in creating a great mood to his work and the ideas are usually fresh and interesting...but unfortunately I can't say the same here. We're two issues in and other than some fun and colorful action scenes Snyder hasn't given me much to sink my teeth into. In the last issue we saw that Two Face sweetened the pot so to speak with the threat that he'd reveal everyone's dirty secrets if Batman wasn't stopped which ropes in everyday people other than Batman's usual villains which although it feels contrived(How does Two-Face know everyone's dirty secrets? Does everyone really have a secret worth killing for?) is alright enough but when he drags in Bullock, Gordon and even Alfred as being among those looking to break the bat Snyder stretches it a little too thin. There maybe some reason given down the line why his friends are apparently trying to stop him, maybe it's part of his "plan" in the end and we the readers are the only ones not in on it but in order for that to work the characters have to be written believably, we have to be given reason for why they'd turn on Batman beyond, "But the Two Face will expose my secrets!", there has to be some kind of empathy and there just isn't so what we're left with are action packed fight scenes with a who's who of Batman villains with nothing compelling really tying them together...all at 5 bucks a pop, so color me way underwhelmed.
