Summary

Gotham City's caped crusader faces two new villians: Two-Face and The Riddler. Formerly District Attorney, Harvey Dent, Two-Face believes that Batman caused the courtroom accident that left him disfigured and has begun to retalliate against Gotham. He is joined by Edward Nygma who, as The Riddler, has come up with a method to drain the information from all the brains in Gotham. Joining Batman in his fight against these new threats are Dick Grayson who, after his family is killed by Two-Face, joins Batman as his new partner, Robin - the Boy Wonder. Batman must defeat his new foes while juggling his double life as Bruce Wayne, millionaire philanthropist and hiding his alter-ego from his love interest, Dr. Chase Meridian.
