In honor of today being 2/22, the intrepid lego_joker decided--for whatever inspired reason--to throw together collages of every single time that Harvey got hit in the face with acid. The result is oddly compelling in a way that's both hilarious and horrible. The colleges in question only cover the comics in the regular continuity, and he has plans to ( Read more... )

There's a lot more to Billy Dee Williams' portrayal Harvey Dent from Tim Burton's Batman (1989) than you might have suspected. I know that I certainly didn't think there was much to say, which is why it's taken me this long to finally write about one of the most famous portrayals of Harvey in pop culture.

Every so often, I like to check out Amazon.com to see if there are any Batman books which have slipped through the cracks, stuff which doesn't get mentioned on the usual geek sites anywhere. Usually, I don't find anything new, but on my most recent search while I was procrastinating to distract myself from doing actual writing of any importance, I ( Read more... )

If you have time to kill, you'd do very well to waste a few hours scouring over these following links!

I've been incredibly annoyed at DC for the way they've treated their trade collections over the past decade. I can understand many great stories being left out of print, of course I can. Collections cost money to make, and if there's no market even for great stories which few people want or know about, why publish it? I get that, sad though it ( Read more... )

Sometimes, seeing online scans of a comic I've already read allows me to read the story in a different light, sometimes to such extremes that it makes me feel like I'm only now reading it for the first time.

Such was the case when tungstencompton posted snippets from Denny O'Neil's "Duel," the first Legends of the Dark Knight Annual, starting with the opening ( Read more... )

One of the few Two-Face appearances I don't own happens to be a collector's item: Batman #260, which featured the first appearance of Arkham Asylum dash it all, I completely forgot, that was another issue, and one I'd already posted! Ugh, stupid me. Guess I'm still brain-fried from the long drive back from Orlando. Then damn, why the hell is THIS ( Read more... )

Before I left my home, my Henchgirl, and my scanner behind to perform in the Orlando Fringe Festival*, I scanned a few small bits to post if I ever got the chance. As I'm taking an early night in, I'm back to offer a fun (and slightly TMI) cameo appearance from Harvey in the pages of Denny O'Neil's AzraelHarvey had a small supporting role in a two- ( Read more... )
