,,,Wow. The Joker turning out to be Bruce in "Hyde" mode is even more bizarre than Alfred becoming him (albeit a non-lethal version) in Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?

Good story. I like the idea of an inverse-Hyde potion that makes the personality whole again instead of splitting it in two. And that of a healed Harvey becoming the new Batman. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks, glad you liked it. :) The DC House of Horror special from last year had a similar premise.

Now I think of it, the "Jekyll/Hyde" theme in Batman comics goes back a very long time. Before the first Two-Face story, even. The second issue of Batman (1940) had a story in which a mild-mannered museum custodian, Adam Lamb, suffers a head injury which turns him every night into the murderous crime boss Wolf. Then at the break of day he becomes Lamb again, with no memory of his nocturnal crimes.

Wolf and Lamb...clever.

Clearly Finger's idea. >_>

So does Selina become The Oracle in this universe?

The weirdest part for me was Bruce Wayne drinking alcohol to "steady his nerves" in a time of crisis.
