So DC has released preview pages for a whole bunch of their new releases tomorrow, including the opening pages of David Finch and Paul Jenkins' The Dark Knight #2. As you may recall, this is a comic that I've been dreading reading for months now, and the follow-up to a nonsensical cliffhanger in issue #1 that resulted in a collective facepalm across Batman fandom.
Hey look, guys! It's one of those things that have slowly been pushing me into apathy when it comes to anything surrounding new DC Comics lately! I just need a few more to fill out my "Get Out Of New Comics FREE" card! Eh, I snark because I care, and because if I didn't find amusement SOMEWHERE, I wouldn't care at all.
Putting aside the oh-my-god-it's-the-90's-ness of 'Roided/Venomed/Titan'd-up Two-Face (or whatever the hell did this to him), what really gets me is... why "One-Face?" I mean, his face is still the same. There are still two. Let's see... one, two... yep, still two. Was there a miscommunication between writer and artist here? Clearly I should be filled with explosive geek disdain, but since I already got that out of my system MONTHS ago, I'm just left with puzzlement. Maybe the opening few pages of TDK #2 would illuminate me?

In possibly-related news, I haven't been able to play Arkham City yet, so NO SPOILERS. Bad enough I've already been spoiled about one character at the end. Until I can waste many hours of my life playing the game, I'm gonna devote the next couple weeks to composing some new reviews, including Paul Jenkins' Two-Face "epic" Batman: Jekyll & Hyde and a very special![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
