The Complete Bat Family
Dustin Nguyen gives us this awesome group shot of the major characters in the Bat universe. It must have been a blast to put together. The only character I had trouble identifying was the little girl sitting on Clayface’s shoulder. It turns out she’s Annie, Clayface’s “daughter” from the animated series. For such a loner, Batman sure does have a lot of people in his life :)
World’s Finest
This classic fan film teams Superman and Batman against Lex Luthor and Two Face. The casting, costumes and characterizations are top notch, PLUS they took great care to accurately recreate several iconic Alex Ross illustrations.
Harvey Dent as Two-Face
Of all of Batman’s rogues, none is more closely aligned to his 1940s street crime roots than Two-Face. Young district attorney Harvey Dent was once a staunch ally in Gotham’s fight against crime. That is until one of the gangsters he was trying to prosecute threw a bottle of acid at him, horribly disfiguring half his face. The injury triggered a psychotic break and Harvey Dent became Two-Face. A murderous crime lord obsessed with duality, and whose every decision was determined by a flip of his two-sided coin.
Originally written as just another quirky golden age villain, the nature of Two-Face’s psychosis has evolved over the years to a pure split personality, with each side fighting for dominance, unaware of what the other is doing. In this way, he is written closer to the Jekyll and Hyde story that was his inspiration. This was played down in the film The Dark Knight, as Harvey Dent was written more as the simple story of a good man falling from grace under extreme circumstances.
Battle for the Cowl
After Bruce Wayne’s apparent death in Final Crisis, the rest of the Bat family had an internal struggle as to who should carry on as Batman. In this teaser photo, we have a sampling of the major players. From left to right, the various Batmen are: Tim Drake, Dick Grayson, Two-Face, Jason Todd, with a special mention to Hush (with a bandage around his leg), who surgically altered his appearance to match Bruce Wayne’s.
Dick Grayson eventually reluctantly gave up his Nightwing persona to become the new, kinder Batman taking his adoptive stepbrother Damian on as his Robin.
