Earth-2 Batman is put in a deathtrap and escapes by improvising explosives. The villain goes comatose. Decades later, his consciousness possesses his law-abiding Earth-1 equivalent. The villain sets up another deathtrap and puts the Earth-1 Batman in it, this time removing the elements that allowed Earth-2 Batman to escape. <BR/><BR/><I>Batman improvises an entirely different explosive to escape.</I><BR/><BR/>YES!

That monster stretched over five issues, JLA #207-209 and All-Star Squadron #14-15. In one of those issues, I can't recall which, they did the classic multi-hero plot device of the teams splitting up into smaller teams, and Starman and Aquaman teamed up for action!
