What should have probably been a volume of Batman Arkham turned into a deluxe hardcover collection of Two-Face stories. And what a collection it is. Harvey Dent has had a long career battling Batman. We get a little bit of every variation of Two-Face in this book. The monster he was in the 40s, the cliche he was in the 60s, the darker psychological mess in modern times. What I absolutely love about reading through this book is how consistent the character has been overall. His back story barely changed at all. However, after the last story in this book is a reinvention of Harvey's entire backstory over in Scott Snyder's new Bat book. I'm still not sure how I feel about that, but this.... This book I love.
