I *really* like this story. It makes a lot more sense than "the acid made him crazy", which...is easier, I suppose, and easier particularly on the writer who wants a straight villain to move the plot, but Batman villains are, at their best and most essential, not supposed to be easy. And Two-Face in particular works best IMO if the reader doesn't get to forget, any more than Batman does, that there was a good guy in there once -- and there still is.

The child abuse thing...In many cases I feel it's gratuitous, but in this case, DID (or similar) is so strongly linked to child abuse that the story, even the generic Two-Face story, makes a lot more sense with it in than with it out.
