Last page of DCnU Dark Knight #1

[sherkahn]

BleedingCool.com has the last page of the recent Boot-to-the-head, I mean Reboot, I mean DCfU.

Anyways, enough of my ranting, here it is.






So much for the duality of things. Harvey didn't need this, as a character.
DC's scraping away at the building blocks of 75 years of great stories.

I hope this gets treated like "Masters of Doom".

Harvey will bounce back, much like Scarecrow did from the Scarebeast. But I feel that exemplifies beautifully the kind of lazy, rampant bad writing in DC these days, and I'm the expression "DCfU" for my own.

I want to point at this page and laugh and laugh and laugh.

...what?

Can we offically declare Jenkins a hack now? His talent seems to have run away screaming.

[ian_karkull]

Hahahahaha! Priceless. I kind of love it when comics do monumentarily stupid things.
Meh, it'll go the way of the dodo (and I mean the quiet retcon) soon enough.

Batty Boy is really classy though... *rolleyes*.

[runespoor]

I agree? It's hilariously terrible.

"Batty boy" is something Joker would say, not Two Face.

[his_spiffynesss]

So we can call this whole nonsense "The New '92"?

[darkblade]

No in 1992 they still would have thought this was stupid.

[biod]

No.

[q99]

It is hilarious, if nothing else.

[shatners_bassoon]

Hahahahaha!
Also, "batty boy"? Really? Icing on the cake right there.

[torberg]

I think I just heard thehefner's head explode.

[thehefner]

Oh, I've known about this before, since it's on the cover for Part 2 and I've seen the penciled pages of the Harvey fight scene. Even still, seeing this now, it's less ASPLODE as much as "... Jesus, Paul Jenkins."

[golden_orange]

... me no likey.

This is beautiful and amazing, a triumph in conceptual absurdity. I am going to print this page out and have it framed. This is the endpoint of an infinite number of monkeys working for an eternity. This is the absolute primordial essence of why comic books exist.

[aeka]

This comment made me LOL harder than it probably should have.

I think this may be proof that over the span of one month of this reboot, I just can't bring myself to give a damn anymore to even bother getting angry.

This is a series that should not have been brought back.

[detective_deathman08]

The good old days were not always so good, and david Finchs batman can go to hell. Tony daniel did not even fuck up this bad, wow this just looks 90s extreme. I hope this takes place before scott snyders batman and two face went back to kind of normal.

[abriel]

.....the fuck? O_o

[lencannon]

I definitely don't want this to be a "thing", but this kind of happens like every year for Harvey. "ARGH NOW I AM ONLY EVIL/GOOD" *changes back into coin flipping double personality two issues later*

[q99]

Yea, I do wish people would stop trying :) You simply aren't going to see him cured/evilfied forever so you don't need to rehash it.

(Though if I got a hand on him while he's good, he'd stay that way)

[darkknightjrk]

So...souped-up comic book steroids cure people from split personality syndrome? ...Good to know, I guess.

I have to admit though if nothing else it makes me want to at least flip through #2 to see where they go with that.

[icon_uk]

Steroids are known to cause, in some cases, psychological effects, I have no idea what they might do to someone with disassociative personality disorder, but if something effects the "Harvey" side more than the "Two-Face", I can easily see "Two-Face" taking advantage of it.

[thanekos]

What, not The Face?

[legba]

Sure. *shot to the junk*

[shadowpsykie]

im guessing he was injected with Venom...?
.... im not getting why some people are upset about this? its the last page, in the first issue of a new series, its designed to be a tease and a lead in... its designed to make you go "WTF?" in more ways than one.... this is hardly the end of two face, hell by the end of the arc or even the next issue he'll probably be back to normal...

[nyadnar17]

I am also sure this is just an epic troll....but I would be lying if I didn't admit that Harvey's treatment in the past has not left me with a lot of hope they will do anything worthwhile with his character.

[geoffsebesta]

now THAT'S writing.

[generalfreedom]

Comics... why u do this?

[whitesycamore]

XD :D :D :'D :'I : I :(

-_-

[icon_uk]

This is so clearly a temporary thing I'm revelling in the absurdity. Of course he won't stay "One Face", but the notion that Mr Hyde has taken over completely from Dr Jekyll is actually an interesting one.

We've always seen that Bruce want's Harvey to integrate both personas and be cured, but, in BTAS terms what he really means is he want's Harvey back and "Big-Bad Harv" gone, because he usually doesn't accept that Big Bad Harv is a viable personality (Though others, like Dick, do recognise that part of Two-Face).

The notion that he's cured, but with the "wrong" personality won seems actually quite a fun one IMHO, what WILL "One Face" prove capable of now he doesn't need/have the coin to spoil his fun?

[nyadnar17]

Am I the only one who feels bleedingcool is reaching by claiming "Batty Boy" is being used as a pejorative sexual slur?

[shadowpsykie]

hmmmm i don't know, its not too far of a reach... but it might be.

[arbre_rieur]

Echoing those who're wondering why anyone thinks this is meant to be anything other than a temporary thing. It's probably just a one-story deal.

[leikomgwtfbbq]

My face mirrors my icon's.

Just... wut

[stubbleupdate]

Did somebody say a boot to the head

[aeka]

What the he'll happened to Two-Face here? Did he get exposed to venom? :<
