Detective Comics #820, Batman #654

Detective Comics #820, Batman #654
So "Face the Face" comes to its conclusion. James Robinson's writing was good, as usual, but I can't understand why he did what he did with Harvey. I always liked him better as the crusading D.A. than the crazy maniac, and we had finally gotten the old Dent back. Oh well. If Robinson were staying on longer, I'm sure we'd find out why he did this to Harvey, but Robinson hasn't really stuck around anywhere since completing his magnum opus of Starman. Still, the end of this story was competent enough, although the solution to the mystery came completely out of left field. Still, it's nice to see a character created by the inimitable Dan Slott on the DC playing field again. Check out "Arkham Asylum: Living Hell" if you can. As a whole, this arc was OKAY but for the sixth part, the Harvey/Two Face monologue, which really just seemed like filler.
