Hellooooooo, everyone! I am (temporarily) back! Anyone else still out there in LJ-land? I’m going to assume no one is and just post this for my own sake, as I’ve missed having the spoons to keep up this blog like I used’ta could ( Read more... )

After an inexplicable (yet appropriate) two-and-a-half year absence, Harvey Dent finally made his grand return to the mainstream DC Universe in what promises to be one of his highest-profile stories in his 74-year history!

After an absence of three years, Harvey Dent is finally coming back to mainstream DC Comics, with Scott Snyder at the wheel. Literally. Well, not literally literally. Sorta literally.

Not brilliant, but good. It doesn't punch me in the gut, nor does it blow my socks ( Read more... )

In the DC/Top Cow crossover one-shot Batman/Darkness (or was it Darkness/Batman? Meh.), writer Jeph Loeb devoted little pointless page-full cameos to several Gotham characters, including Harvey.
