Batman '89 #3 takes the big step for Harvey Dent on his journey to becoming one of Batman's greatest enemies. Just like Two Face's mind, the story teeters between two realities - one where Harvey saves the day and sees all his dreams come true. The other is where Harvey doesn't make it out of a fire unscathed.
What's going on with the next Batman now that we saw that Anarky went and got himself all shot to hell at the end of the last issue? Well, probably the same thing he's been doing since The Next Batman: Second Son, where he was trying to take down a sleazeball named Arkadine, who was tied in with a conspiracy to get civilian protestors shot, not to mention a person over the internet known as The Seer, who is spreading false information and raising an army through fear and paranoia. Let's jump into this issue and see what Jace Fox is up to now that he's got his Batman costume and has that legacy on his side. Let's check it out.
Let's jump back into the world of Cavan Scott's Titans United, where the Titans we've seen on the HBO series are the ones that are featured here but we really don't have a background on the continuity to know how it all really works out or why these heroes stay together........ or more specifically, why the hell do they let Red Hood on the team, but it's an interesting mix of heroes who have to deal with the idea that people for some reason have their powers and it's burning them out and as we saw at the end of the last issue, it looked like Kite-Man was displaying these powers and he was using them against Hawk and Dove. Let's dive into this issue and see if the Titans can get to the bottom of what's going on..... and if Jason Todd can stop being a dick. Let's check it out.
The hunt for the Joker continues this issue with Jim Gordon and the Daughter of Bane, Vengeance. Previously, we saw Jim Gordon working with Interpol's head of the super-villains unit, the adequately nicknamed Madame Halloween and it looked like the two hit it off pretty well in that they would work together to hunt down the Joker if Gordon would also help her track down a group called "The Network", and if for some reason there was an accident in the apprehension of the Clown Prince of Crime at the end of it all.... You know, something like he was accidentally shot to death by Gordon..... Well, Madame Halloween would look the other way and chalk it up to "shit happens". I don't know how well this pairing will be though because at the end of the issue it looked like Vengeance wanted to interrupt the meeting. Let's jump into this issue and check it out.
