Batman: One Bad Day - Two-Face 1 brings a reformed Harvey Dent to the fore, but can Gotham City's reformed District Attorney survive his 'one bad day'? Read our full review here:
Two-Face has long been one of my all-time favorite Batman villains, even in spite of a relative lack of quality stories. Regardless of the many misses in the past, Harvey Dent is a character who remains so obviously filled with dramatic potential and thematic depth.
The second outing of the One Bad Day title focuses more strictly on its eponymous premise as the events of this story focus upon a single day in Harvey Dent's life – the celebration of his father's 88th birthday party. Harvey has been released from Arkham and been appointed to his previous role as District Attorney once again, adhering closely to recent continuity in the Batman line .
What's most fascinating about the plot is the different perspectives others hold about Harvey. For Batman he remains a friend in need of saving, while Batgirls like Stephanie Brown provide substantially different takes on the reformed criminal. Tamaki emphasizes the gendered difference in how people perceive Harvey with Steph insisting that there's only one Harvey responsible for all he's done, both good and bad.
While the story does offer new perspectives on the iconic villain, it's the presentation of his"one bad day" by Fernandez and Bellaire that transforms the issue from an interesting concept into must-read Batman comics. Maintaining Two-Face's grisly visage, even as he is reformed, makes every panel he inhabits an opportunity.
Batman: One Bad Day – Two-Face reassures readers of this series' tremendous potential with an second installment that sheds new light on an old villain from some of the most talented creators working with DC Comics today. Every tool is honed in developing a single, satisfying Two-Face tale, including machinations that build upon his simple motif and images that will linger long after the last page.
