As was last seen in the previous issue, the Dark Knight confronted a Hulkified Two-Face, or One-Face as he'd called himself, during the mass breakout at Arkham Asylum, a disturbingly frequent affair people should by now be able to get used to, before our insane fiend passed out with blood running out through the eyes. It was later disclosed a considerable number of patients previously confined within the asylum were injected with a dose of the same thing given to Two-Face, a few familiar and not so familiar variety of the city's rogues now running rampant across Gotham and keeping every vigilante around town with their hands full through the night.
Further analysis of the serum courtesy of good butler Alfred Pennyworth revealed that it was intended to remove the element of fear from within those subjected to it, though with a few rather inconvenient side-effects, i.e. bleeding out of one's eyes, which reminded me of an episode in The New Batman Adventures, where the Scarecrow was seen distributing a chemical agent designated for the same purpose, so presumably the man was somehow implicated in the whole affair. The Joker was, as in the case of Harvey Dent, Hulkified as well possibly by the wench with the pink bunny fetish, or Venomified, if one wishes to be in line with the present context, the difference being that he was consequently driven to the point of insanity where he would murder his own cronies for no apparent reason, though no one would really expect anything different from him.

The title was a bit misleading, so to speak, as Two-Face only appeared once trying to break the Batman in two, and later under hospitalization while the Caped Crusader attempted to interrogate our mentally addled patient. With Gotham caught up in the pandemonium, it's quite a wonder anyone even managed to retain the slightest bit of sanity.
