Since the beginning of the New 52 re-launch, there are four different Batman books out. Scott Snyder's Batman is the main Bat-title with super-hero antic, Peter Tomasi's Batman & Robin that looked at the father and son relationship, Detective Comics having Batman being more forensic/detective, and there is Batman: The Dark Knight, being more action based, with more villains and more occult/horror/science fiction about it. But that was the original intent of this series when it started under David Finch. Now the direction of the series has changed with Penguin: Pain and Prejudice writer Gregg Hurwitz takes over and Finch being artist. The series is still horror/occult, but now it's more character driven, with Hurwitz focuses arcs on lesser known Bat-Rouges. How does the new team fair compared to the first 9 issues? Much better in my opinion.
BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT VOL.2: CYCLE OF VIOLENCE collects issues #10-15 and #0. Numerous children are being abducted all around Gotham, then the children mysteriously get found and come back utterly changed with symptoms of fear and loathing. It appears like Jonathan Crane, AKA Scarecrow, is back in town and causing trouble with his fear toxins and it's up to Batman to stop Crane's new plot. And Batman's alter ego, Bruce Wayne, is dealing with a new love in his life, Ukrainian model/pianist Natalya, and things aren't quite going in Bruce's favor.
Hurwitz taking over as writer for Dark Knight, in my opinion, is what the series should have been from the beginning of issue #1.
There've been many complaints from comic book fans over DC's New 52 reboot. It's been proven time and again nobody likes change. However, one thing I've noticed with the Bat-Family books is a newfound dedication to fleshing out the villains and making them more menacing and disturbing than ever before. "Batman: The Dark Knight Volume 2: Cycle of Violence" is a perfect example.
"Batman: The Dark Knight Volume 2: Cycle of Violence" collects issues #10 through #15 and #0 of the series. It's made up of one story-arc and a quick look into Bruce Wayne's past. I would say this is probably one of the most focused graphic novel collections I've read in a while.
Issues #10 through #15 find Batman facing his own fears as the Scarecrow returns to Gotham City to wreak havoc. The psychotic super-villain refines his fear toxin using kidnapped children and is ready to unleash it upon the people of Gotham. The Dark Knight must simultaneously find the missing captives and save the city from sinking further into madness.
Issue #0 gives readers more of Bruce Wayne's origin story. "Chill in the Air" awards us insight into the investigation of the man who killed his parents. Our hero suspects his parents' death was not just a random mugging. There must be a more sinister motive behind it. Bruce scours Gotham City in search of the truth and may not like what he finds.
Writer Greg Hurwitz pens both stories for "Batman: The Dark Knight Volume 2: Cycle of Violence." He digs deep into the origin of the Scarecrow and gives the character deeper emotional depth. While not justifying the atrocities the criminal commits, Hurwitz adds a sympathetic layer to him. He also shows a vulnerable and softer side of Batman we don't get to see often.
