==Synopsis:

Returning to Gotham after the Lost Year, Batman and Robin find a murder mystery already on their hands. While they were gone, Batman briefly trained Harvey Dent (reformed after the events of Hush) to act in their stead. A series of notorious Gotham criminals are being murdered, including The KGBeast, Orca, and Arnold Wesker, the Ventriloquist. The Murderer's M.O. seems to exactly follow that of Two-Face. Investigating the crime, Batman tries to trust Harvey, but finds it increasingly difficult. Eventually, Harvey, angry at Batman for accusing him, is seduced by the Two-Face part of his personality and mars his face with acid to become Two-Face again. One of Batman's agents finds the second Tally Man is responsible for the killings, when he botches a hit. Upon further investigation, Batman realizes that the entire series of events were coordinated from inside Arkham Asylum by boss Warren White, the Great White Shark.
