On their regular night rounds Batman and Robin bust an illegal medical smuggling ring which leads them to a confrontation with the Crime Doctor, right before a grisly heart transplant is to be performed. During the ensuing fight, there is a bit of an unbelievable moment when Batman actually has difficulty on a hand-to-hand fight with the Crime Doctor! And had to be saved by the patient! I'd be upset, but its too ridiculous that I actually enjoyed it. It's Breyfogle's art that makes this issue for me - I just like the way he lays down his strokes and how his pencils get a bit abstract at times.
