Nah man. I don't really know if I liked Vol. 1 or 2 better of Bat Inc... in fact, maybe liked is the wrong word, because I didn't really like either. Hmm, flipping through this, this one deserves a bit of a slamming. First of all, I personally found the stories not based around the immediate Bat-family pretty boring. Second, (view spoiler)[THEY KILLED DAMIEN, THE FUCKS. Seriously. He may come back - it's a comic. But I've read a lot of negative things about him in the reviews of B&R, etc... people calling him a pest, etc... I was just never with it. There's brief glimpses of it, depending on the book (&, I assume writer) itself, but call it a character flaw. Damien was like the most interesting element of all the new Bat-comics I've read this year. I think he's dope. I think his inclusion in the series did way more for it than Batman going public with a world of superheroes under the Bat-brand. Ugh. Whatever. It's fucking lame. (hide spoiler)] 
 I don't know, it just seems it tried to be a lot larger & more epic than it really was. It's hard to even explain it. You can tell it's supposed to be... something about the way it plays out. You're almost even tricked into thinking it is for a few fleeting moments. But it's just not. &, as with the first volume, I personally just found it pretty confusing. I don't know if it's because I'm dumb & the creators are next level or whatever, but the Bat Inc series just doesn't seem to flow like most other comics... it's not as easily readable. 
 Whatever. Obviously this one isn't for me. But after I finished, I was staring at the back, & noticed that it said this book (I guess series) was 'seven years in the making'. I literally began laughing out loud at the thought. It still brings a smile to my face. lmao
