I liked this issue a lot more than the first issue.

Morrison didn't do a lot of set up this issue and really played to the strengths of the characters.

The scene with Gordon on the roof and directly after was pitch perfect and exactly what I wanted out of their meeting. He knew it wasn't Bruce, but he also knew that he's worked with him before.

The art was amazing. I honestly think this was the best Quitely art I've ever seen. The fluidity of the action sequences, the wrinkles of Alfred's eyes, just the way the cape looked and moved, absolutely perfect.

I still really hate the villain as he seems like a rip off of Moore's Killing Joke Joker but every thing else was great.

And I had a huge laugh at Robin hitting the fat lady when he put a bucket on her head.

Story: 4 - Very Good Art: 5 - Excellent

Yeah, anybody could figure out that Nightwing was Dick Grayson so I'm sure Gordon knows that Bruce Wayne was Batman too.  Well I'm sure he has his suspicions that Bruce was involved one way or another.  He probably just figured he'd be better of pretending like he doesn't notice.
