my review on the Goodreads website . . . . .
Batman/Bruce Wayne comes up with a cure to help his childhood friend Harvey Dent rid himself of the Two-Face persona he constantly battles for control of his mind and body. Except Two-Face has an alternate plan to thwart Batman and puts it into play - - - everybody (villains and civilians) wants to take down Batman and collect a reward, and Two-Face has used Harvey Dent's knowledge of the secrets of Batman's various associates to keep them away lest he reveal them to the public.
Batman leads Two-Face on a cross-country dash to where the antidote is secured while being chased by various villains and antagonists - - - some great battles occur on top of trains, under water, in the air, etc. This was mindless entertainment and a great deal of fun.
The individual comics contained a back-up feature revealing a coming-of-age in the development of Batman’s new associate, The Signal. It was a little bit confusing but entertaining.
