Description

Together, the enemies crisscross Europe, desperate to find answers before time runs out. Traveling through Europe to destinations like Prague, Paris, and Rome, Batman must defeat this disease before it defeats him. The sworn enemies are forced to work together to find the cure to what ails them. Collects Batman: Europa #1-4 of the 4-issue miniseries.
