Another Easter Egg From CW Gotham Knights, Maybe?

Another Easter egg from CW Gotham Knights, maybe?

I just noticed this parallel: "Two-Face: A Celebration of 75 Years" page 16 "The Crimes of Two-Face" (DETECTIVE COMICS #66, 1942) Two-Face's office:

"CW Gotham Knights" Harvey Dent's D.A. office: Source: Natalie Abrams' Twitter

Look at the amazing similarity from the perspective of the first photo! Left: Fireplace, painting, armchair, mirror Center: Big window, desk Right: Sofa, round (oval) table

Well done! The crew of CW Gotham Knights! (Applause!)

I Want to Find a Two-Face Comic

I remember that I've seen a comic scanned pic, which shows that Harvey hugs Two-Face and tells him: "I need you." Does anybody know what DC comic the pic belongs to? I want to read the story. Thank you! :)

My head canon of what happened in Harvey's mind when he decided to unleash his dark side in S01E13. Harvey's character setting is based on the CW "Gotham Knights", and the DC comic "The Eye of the Beholder".

Closing his eyes and listening to himself humming Mozart's Fantasia in D Minor, Harvey felt that Duela's anxious and desperate call seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him, and the whole world was spinning and dragging him into the bottomless darkness-- the basement of his brain which was resembled to his former D.A.'s office.

Thank you for this heartwarming reply! I do developed an interest in Harvey’s stories after Misha decided to portray this role. So I’m doing my research via reading DC comics and watching YouTube videos of Two-Face to try to get a better understanding of Harvey. It’s my pleasure to have you as my guide on this fascinating quest. :) To show my admiration toward this character, I made some fanvids and wrote two fanfics (”In the Basement” and “The Man in the Mirror”) for Harvey, his alter ego and Gotham Knights if you’re interested. I tried my best not to be OOC, and based my stories on the foundation of the show and canon DC comics, that’s why this background research is so important to me.  I’m definitely gonna read your recommendations, there’s so much I need to learn and I’m excited for this exploration. Thank you and love you! :)

Hi, I want to read some DC comics about how Harvey transformed from former DA to the criminal mastermind who ruled half of Gotham's Underworld (against the Penguin). I've already read/seen: Two-Face: A Celebration of 75 Years Batman: The Long Halloween Batman: Dark Victory (1999) Batman '89 Batman: The Animated Series Batman: The Audio Adventures

Any other reading recommendations? Thanks a lot for your help. :)

So you're looking for origin stories, or at least ones that shed more light on Two-Face's origin? Well first off, I'm glad you read the 75th Anniversary collection, because that has three of my very favorites: the original Harvey Kent trilogy from 1942-43, the Grace Dent story from Secret Origins Special (1989), and "Eye of the Beholder" from Batman Annual #14 (1990).

Besides those, and the ones you've listed, here are a few others to check out. Some are great, some are mixed bags, and some are downright lousy.

First and foremost, I STRONGLY recommend the 1989 Batman newspaper comic strip, which I loved so much that I posted the whole two-year saga on its own tumblr account. You can start from the very beginning right here, but keep in mind that Harvey's storyline--which runs all the way to the very last strip--doesn't really start until the second arc.

Next, Batman: Dual to the Death by Geary Gravel is a YA novelization of the BTAS origin, seamlessly combined with the two-part Batgirl origin episodes. It improves on both the animated versions in small but crucial ways, and it's highly recommended for BTAS fans. Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to find.

On a similar note, Peter David's movie novelization of Batman Forever can be found more easily, either in used book form or on the Internet Archive, and it's absolutely worth reading. I love the movie of Batman Forever, but it's objectively a terrible take on Harvey. The novelization adds SO MUCH, including an original prequel scene with D.A. Harvey Dent, and his ending is far more satisfying.

Cartoon Network's CGI animated series Beware the Batman (2013) also features a series-long origin arc for Harvey Dent, but it's one of the worst takes I've ever seen on the character. He's a petty, selfish, ambitious little prick, an absolute scumbag, completely devoid of depth or tragedy. Thankfully, few have seen this arc, since the majority of Harvey's episodes were never aired after the series was cancelled, but they're all available to watch for those morbidly curious to see just how badly someone can screw up Harvey as a character.

"The Big Burn" from Batman and Robin, vol 2 #24-28 (2014), also collected in B&R volume 5. After the huge DC reboot, this was Harvey new origin, which tried some very different things with him. A VERY mixed bag, but one that ended in a hugely exciting way that makes the whole thing worth reading. Follow it up with its sequel, "Ugly Heart," from Detective Comics #1020-1024, collected in Detective Comics Vol 5: Joker War.

Finally, watch the entirety of the recently-released/cancelled CW series Gotham Knights, with Misha Collins performing a surprisingly rich, interesting, and flawed Harvey Dent origin arc. The show got a lot of shit, some of it undeserved, but Collins' Harvey was an intriguing surprise, and I fear nothing we see from Harvey in any Reevesverse media will bring half as much care and interest to Harvey as GK did, for better or worse. All 13 episodes can be watched for free on CW Seed, region permitting.

EDIT: Oh right also the Telltale Batman video game! I haven't actually played that yet because I know enough about what happens and the illusion of meaningful choice indicative of Telltale games that I just don't feel like putting myself through that. People seem to like it a lot, though! I just... don't put me in a position of choosing to save either Harvey or Selina if you're just going to cheat and have him go evil anyway.
