The Two Faces of Harvey... Bullock?
Apr. 2nd, 2011 06:04 pmLet's talk about the other Harvey of Gotham City.
Doug Moench didn't technically create Harvey Bullock, but he's the one writer most responsible for making the fat, slovenly, heart'a-gold pig cop one of Batman's most enduring supporting characters. Everything we associate with the character was originated by Moench.
It's hard to imagine that he was originally a corrupt toady trying to sabotage Jim Gordon on Mayor Hill's behalf," but thankfully, Gordon's own decency won over Bullock, and the two are now crime-fighting buddies! But even with that change of heart, Moench kept hinting that there may still have been more to Harvey Bullock than met the eye.
( From the title alone, you can imagine how this story actually IS relevant to the themes explored in this blog... )
