Been really enjoying this series. Waid and Samnee are a great team.

Two-Face pretty much conned the General from the start and according to the rules, upon realizing who Batman is gets killed off, lol -- and now Two-Face is taking over Gotham with his army of Clayfaces thanks to Hugo Strange and Clayface/Hagen. Creating Clayfaces rather than making more Monster Men and using them for a Body Snatchers plan replacing every level, even reporters. Interesting plan this Project Gemini.

Wow, all those people turned into Clayfaces were duped and are gonna die and turn to dust in short order...

Batman forgot Dick is a performer and what was just an act for the fosters. That panel of him in his room spoke volumes. Probably angry Bruce didn't spring him in addition to learning Batman went solo to try and save the city.

Something about Ms. Lyn? Hmm.

Heh, Robin saves the defeated Batman from certain death.

1 more issue. Welp. Hope there's a Year Two next. This has been a great series!

Solid conclusion.

'What's the same size as a human head?'

Figured the coin obsession would prevent Two-Face from winning.

Ah, Lyn is an orphan, too. And she spoke up for Bruce to help him get custody back. Nice.

Switched to blue. 'They have a plane?' was a hoot.

Only problem is I want this series to continue.
