The series, originally announced in 2004, teams Batman and The Joker on a trek across Europe, searching for a cure to a virus that is killing Batman. The project had long been one fans never thought they would see completed, but after 11 years getting off the ground, it's shipping on time.

Forced to work with his greatest foe, The Joker, Batman reaches Prague just as the virus he's been infected with starts to affect him. While the Czech version of Mardi Gras is in full swing, Batman and The Joker search for the mysterious Trojan Horse, a man who knows the secrets of the Colossus virus...but they'll find more than they bargained for!

The mystery deepens and the stakes get higher in the second chapter of this miniseries by Brian Azzarello and Matteo Casali, featuring fully painted art by Giuseppe Camuncoli.
