Review of Batman vs. Two-Face (2017) by Dave A — 17 Oct 2017
Adam West was my first Batman. He got me reading comics, which led me to reading. So, in a roundabout way, Mr. West taught me to read. His finale as The Bright Knight is brilliant. He faces off against William Shatner in the dual role of Gotham DA Harvey Dent and Two-Face.
Origins are a pretty fluid thing. In the comics, Harvey is disfigured on cross-examination of a Gotham mobster, who throws a glass of acid in his face. Tommy Lee Jones did this in live action in Batman Forever, but channeled Cesar Romero.
Richard Moll was incredible as the voice of Harvey and "Big Harv" alias Two-Face on the Classic Batman: The Animated Series. The original Captain Kirk nails Harvey Dent and his villainous alter ego.
The story gets a little murky, but it's a thrilling adventure. There are a number of enjoyable Easter eggs. The best part is this adventure cements the partnership of The Dynamic Duo. I can only hope that as an ongoing tribute to Mr.
West's Bright Knight, Batman '66 continues! I'd love to see Poison Ivy, Killer Croc, The Ventriloquist, The Scarecrow, Ra's al Ghul, and False Face as Clayface.
