2-in-1 review of two new Two-Face-related Elseworlds: "Batman: Earth One" and "Ame-Comi Duela Dent!"
Over the past month, there have been two DC projects which have dealt with an alternate-reality Gotham, both of which feature their versions of Two-Face... more or less. And yeah, okay, they're not official "Elseworlds" because DC doesn't call their alt-u books those anymore, but screw you, DC, they'll always be Elseworlds to me ( Read more... ) -
Review: the violent insanity of BATMAN: CRIMSON MIST (OR: Harvey Dent--the Great Vampire Killer!)
Happy Halloween, Face-Friends!
I'm not sure if that's what I'd really wanna call you folks, but eh, I've got a little alliteration-lovin' Stan Lee in my heart.
This is a post I thought I wouldn't get to for many more months to come, so we have the intrepid cyberghostface to thank this time! Over at Scans_Daily, he's taken it upon himself to post Doug Moench ( Read more... ) -

The frustrating, unsatisfying, intriguing mess that is "Flashpoint: Batman--Knight of Vengeance"
While DC's current Flashpoint event is apparently being met with complete apathy now that it's been entirely overshadowed by the impending don't-call-it-a-reboot-reboot of DCnU, there's one thing that's caught the attention of the whole comics community.

Doug Moench's "Legends of the Death Earth": the fable of the Bat-Man and Split-Face, + other stories
During the 90's, when every title had an Annual and most Annuals had different themes ranging from crossing over into the ridiculous Bloodlines event, giving the characters their own Elseworlds take, or taking a look at the heroes back in the Year One of their tights-wearin' careers, I think the Legends of the Dead Earth theme was one of DC's ( Read more... ) -
