If you liked Gotham Central you might like Two Face YO. It features the formation of Gordon MCU and has the same type of feel. The story contradicts Long Halloween in the murder of Falcone but apart from that I seem to remember liking it. Did not read Scarecrow. anyone know if it's the same as the Four of a Kind Year One?

 

[Venom 1988]

No its the two issue year one story that came out around the time of Batman Begins

I wasn't a fan of either of these really... They were sort of "meh".

I wish these comic companies(DC/Marvel...etc.) would have more quality control. It seems now days they don't mind if someone just comes along and does a redo for the umpteenth time. I only say this because I like to put the Year Ones near the beginning of my collection since some can fit into canon.

Whoever it was who wrote that Two-Face story posted here briefly. I'm sure he said he tried to avoid contradictions, but if you've read it you'll probably know otherwise. I haven't read it yet.

Seriously, just read the darn book if you want to read it. Read it simply as it's own story. If you feel it contradicts, just shrug it off and pick which continuity you prefer yourself but read that story as it's own thing and judge it on it's own merit.

Thanks for stating the obvious.

Anyways, I just recently got the tpb and read both. While the Two Face one is good I still prefer The Long Halloween.

As for the Scarecrow story, I really really liked it. Mainly because he's also a character where I've seen his origin done so many times but this time they actually fleshed out his childhood. In just about all the other Scarecrow origins, whether it was in flashback(most were) or a full issue(I think one other one was) they just say how he was afraid of crows/birds and was bullied by kids at school then they go right into his teaching days where he pulls a gun in class.

This one they actually give him some more depth and show his family and tie it in fairly well with his murders that Batman & Robin are trying to figure out.

I enjoyed scarecrows a lot more than two-face, I thought about picking this up, but I think I'll pass, definetly a good scarecrow story though, Two-Face was dec, just not anywhere close to TLH imo.

I flipped through this at the store and have to say the Scarecrow story actually looked kinda cool. Seemed to have alot of early days Dick Grayson Robin in it. I'll probably buy it one day.

and yeah, i put continuity in my ass

Someone is claiming in Two-Face Year One. Solomon Grundy is an inmate of arkham asylum, can someone confirm/deny this and perhaps even explain it.

I LOVED Scarecrow year one. I haven't yet read Two-face yet, but I plan on get the TPB of both.

 

[Two-Face]

I will try pick this one up.
