	I haven't been pulling Batman lately due to lack of budget. Do I want to know what that half-red Batman with a 90s gun is? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Two-Face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Judging from the face and the coin, I'd say it's Harvey. No, I don't know why. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Meh, I'd have preferred a more classic Two-Face look, with one side identical to Batman, the other side, a tasteless patchwork version of Batman's costume. And given that Dick just finished facing off against a fairly long Two-Face story, I'd hoped for a bit of a rest from him. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That would have been WAY more like it. Because as it is... AUGH. There's not enough AUGH in the world. Goddammit, Tony Daniel. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm trying to decide whether this affords him more or less dignity than Daniel's demoted Helena to by sticking her in the Lee fail!costume. He is, apparently, an artist on a mission. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	toasty_fresh 2009-09-02 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	Do you think Two-Face realizes he looks like the lovechild of Bats and Harley Quinn? Ugh, I hate it when the art has all everyone's muscles ever sticking out. I feel like I'm at the Bodies Exhibit, not like I'm looking at people that not only have skin, but layers of clothing and body armor too. (Reply to this)

	bluefall 2009-09-02 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	If Dick's first words next issue aren't "Harvey, you look like a moron," I'm going to be extremely disappointed in him. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Remember that time when you beat the crap out of Robin with a baseball bat? Well, it's payback time... ROBIN! Get in here!" As Damien, the Boy Psycho duly trots up, Dick sits back to watch the scrap, either way he can't lose! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Costume makers in Gotham probably make a killing ~~while laughing to themselves as people actually go out wearing their creations~~. They're clearly the true villains. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neotoma 2009-09-03 12:24 am UTC (link)
	Obviously, because not even Gambi, tailor to the Flash Rogues, ever came up with something quite this hideous, and he had to make costumes for the Trickster, the Pied Piper, and Rainbow Raider... (Reply to this) (Parent)

There's a great little text story in a collection of Batman short stories which answers that question, there's a tailor shop in Gotham which retains absolute privacy and complete neutrality for it's "specialist" clients, who include a tall nameless chap who has a thing for bats, Eddie and his question mark fixation, and Selina, whose fittings he rather enjoys. What people DO with the costumes he designs and gadgets he incorporates is none of his business, and no one would harm him because it would bring everyone else down on him, besides which, he's an excellent tailor.

More recently, and in continuity, Gotham Central's "Dead Robin" arc mentioned a Gotham guy called "The Tailor", who could produce an accurate facsimilie of any costume he'd ever seen. His Robin costume reproductions were good enough to fool the GCPD when they started showing up on dead kids.

	Weird, Spiderman had almost exactly the same story at one point, I believe. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	shadwing 2009-09-03 12:59 am UTC (link)
	I have that collection...somewhere the same guy was even referenced in ANOTHER story in the book. It was great! Now I gotta find the book again. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	A guy on deviantart has a darker version of "The Tailor." I didn't know it was an actual character until now. Here's the link http://terminaitor.deviantart.com/art/Batman-The-Tailor-133622928 (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's a very nice little story, somewhere between BTAS and Astro City, which is about as good as it gets really! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Harvey, WTF are you wearing? Also what are those things over Dick's shoulder? Does Two-Face have matching rockets or missiles or something. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Dick ought to be wondering about now if those tranqs weren't actually hallucinocens because that's some outfit, Harvey. I'm surprised his plan to get in the Batcave worked. When he asked to go where the batarang was created I expected him to show up in some factory in Hong Kong. (Reply to this)

	my god, harvey dent's become kamen batman double. (Reply to this)

	xdoop 2009-09-03 01:36 am UTC (link)
	Also, I thought Harvey recognized that Dick was Batman when he saw him smiling. I guess he just assumed it wasn't the real Batman because the real Batman was a grumpy poopy pants. (Reply to this)

	nerium_oleander 2009-09-03 02:06 am UTC (link)
	Oh son of a bitch, this is not how I wanted that "Bat-appointed Protector of Gotham" arc of Harv's to go. What the fuck are you doing you editorial crackheads?!?! You can do so much better than this, you managed to do pretty well with Eddie, why can't you just make an effort with Harv? Goddamn you all. (Reply to this)

	silverzeo 2009-09-03 03:12 am UTC (link)
	Why are there missiles embedded in Dick's back. And I can take it that "good" Harvey Dent wasn't Twoface's counterpart, but Bats himself... (Reply to this)

	ladymirth 2009-09-03 03:28 am UTC (link)
	... And you were doing so well, Winnick. It's the secret love child of Spiderman and Wolverine! (Reply to this)

	I... don't understand this thing I'm seeing. Hope Harvey doesn't actually think that thing's going to conceal his identity. (Reply to this)
