4.5/5.
Read in single issues. Really loved this! Romita's never been my favorite artist, but I thought he did really well here, and I really enjoyed the story, as expected from Snyder.

This batman story is a great example of what I love and hate about modern comics. The story is a cool concept of batman trying to get two face to a destination while every mercenary/assassin is after batman. The writing, characters, everything on Scott Snyder's end was great. However I don't know if this is Snyder's doing or DC's but I'm getting sick and tired of these secret origin stories and having retcon's again. I don't know if it's because of the rebirth launch or what but its frustrating. I don't want to spoil it but they changed Two-Face's and batman's relationship/origin again, which is very annoying. Also I'm not a fan of John Romita's art style either. Overall what should've been an amazing batman book but it was dragged down by retcon's and an mediocre art style

This one asked too much. I can suspend my disbelief to a point, but this one didn’t make sense.
Every single person has a secret they would kill to keep? Doubtful.
Batman dragging Two-Face halfway across the country to find a cure? Silly.
Batman being beaten to a bloody pulp and should have died ten times over? Because I’m Batman!

It was fine. Would have been a good bus book. But man, I don't understand how this civilization is at all sustainable.

Was really looking forward to this and was really disappointed. Don't know if I'll continue with the next two volumes.

This was a blast to read through!
It starts off with Killer Moth and Firefly after Batman as he is protecting Two-face. The latter has said if they don't free him he will spill their secrets to the world and to stop that every villain of his is after them including Killer Croc, Cheshire and Copperhead. We learn of what secrets he maybe holding and what Batman plans to do with Harvey, trying to cure him and we learn of their past in some summer-school-boarding house and how they were close friends and why Batman is trying to save Harvey. Next KGBeast comes after them and the fight is epic until the final conclusion, will Harvey be saved or will Two-Face take over fully? Will Batman survive in the end?
All answered really well here and the second story is about Duke's training and how he goes on to become the signal and makes peace with his trauma. Also Victor Zsasz and a mystery there. Fun stuff.
Its a great volume with lots of moving part and I love how its so action oriented and involves almost all bounty hunters or assassins after them and shows Batman and how he will go so far to protect his friend and adds to their backstory. I loved this one from an art perspective as its a delight and never bores you. All moments earned and everything. The facial features were odd sometimes and some scenes were dragged but then again story with lots of fun and everything.
