Today DC Comics releases the second issue of the Batman: One Bad Day series. One Bad Day unleashes eight standalone, 64-page comics featuring defining tales of Batman’s world-famous enemies. The series features brand-new stories starring the Riddler, Two-Face, the Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Catwoman, Bane, Clayface and Ra’s al Ghul, told by creative teams made up of some of DC’s top writers and artists.
The latest issue puts Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face, in the spotlight with a story from fan-favourite writer Mariko Tamaki and artist Javier Fernandez. Here’s a look at the issue’s cover:
The synopsis for this week’s issue teases the tragedy of Two-Face and his struggle with duality.
The duel of duality! Two-Face has always been viewed as Batman’s most tragic villain. If only Harvey Dent hadn’t been scarred by acid, he could have continued his good work as D.A. in Gotham City and been Batman’s greatest ally and friend…right? Or has Batman extended Harvey Dent too much grace in his multiple attempts at reform? He’ll question himself as Harvey Dent is free once more, scarred but seemingly free of Two-Face’s influence. But…when it’s revealed Harvey Dent’s father has been threatened to be murdered on his 88th birthday, will Two-Face be able to resist joining the party? From the bestselling creative team of Mariko Tamaki (Detective Comics, Crush & Lobo) and Javier Fernandez (Nightwing, King Spawn)!
