Geoff Johns has topped even himself with this volume. The second volume of Batman: Earth One introduces a slew of Batman's rogues in new ways. The big bad of this volume is the Riddler while Killer Croc, Two-Face & Catwoman appear in the story as well. The Riddler in this story is just as crazy & deranged as Dennis Hopper in Speed. There are also two Dents in this book like there were two Luthors in Superman: Earth One. A Jessica Dent & Harvey Dent which are twins throughout the story. Both are injured in a prison riot which one will ultimately become Two-Face remains to be seen. I think that Johns will follow J.M.S.'s take on Luthor & turn Jessica Dent into Two-Face. Killer Croc in also in the story but not as a villain just a misunderstood man with a skin condition. While Catwoman is just a woman whose balcony Batman crashed onto while chasing a criminal only to be revealed at the end of the story as Selina Kyle. I love this take on Batman however its hard tell if any of Batman's rogues will survive their initial meeting with the Dark Knight.
