Oh, that's something I didn't catch in previous scans... Harvey is engaged to Barbara Gordon?

Also I lol'd at the headline... BRUCE WAYNE SUPERMAN.

Is that meant to be Winona Ryder on the cover?

Early '90s Winona Ryder as Batgirl? I can totally see it.

I'd have liked that casting

[cyberghostface]

I don't think so.

Not a fan of Wynona Ryder or just not a fan of her playing Batgirl?

Or do you mean you don't think the character is meant to look like her?

I meant I didn't see Winona Ryder's likeness on the cover. I'm fine with her as an actress (I've only seen a handful of her roles but I liked her in Heathers and Mermaids).

For comparison:



But now looking at the interior panels (particularly with Harvey flipping the coin) some of them do look a bit like her so IDK at this point. Quinones said he envisioned Christina Ricci as Barbara Gordon and Winona Ryder as Zatanna in his earlier pitch for Batman '89 back in 2016 but maybe he just decided to rearrange things a little.

Poor Harvey :(

Harvey has such a tragic origin :(

[yap]

Loving this. Probably wouldn’t have been so poignant if the movies had gotten to this, though.

Hrm. So...what did the acid do? I mean, it sounds like it would damage his nasal passages, his throat, and his lungs, but I'm no doctor. Could it cause brain damage as well? I mean, Harvey doesn't seem to have any real issues. Nothing compared to the life the main Harvey had anyway. No abusive father with a double headed coin or anything. Seems weird he'd develop a second personality when he hasn't even seen his "other face", but he's already talking in two different voices. Not to mention seeing alternate versions of himself. Which would be normal in some comics, but not one based on the 1989 Batman movie.
