A pivotal scene in the definitive Two-Face origin, Eye of the Beholder, occurs shortly after a Lecter-like serial killer named Dr. Rudolph Klemper escapes justice and provokes D.A. Harvey Dent's dark side into emerging.

In the original scene that followed, Harvey was shown breaking into Klemper's house and setting up the scenario that would lead to the good doctor's "accidental" death. However, editors at DC didn't think it was a good idea to give readers a step-by-step tutorial on how to murder someone, so the scene was smooshed into one page for the final version. Which version do you prefer?

Me, I don't care for the Klemper subplot anyway (Harvey shouldn't be killing people before he's scarred), but while I enjoy the thought that was put into the death-trap, I think the published version is more taut, economical, and effective.

He's so old... so frail. I didn't think he could hurt me anymore. I figured we could bury our differences... before it was too late.

He gave me a gift... a silver dollar. He tried to make it better. I honestly believe he tried. But he only made it worse.

Much worse.

The fateful moment.

Doomed mob boss Vincent Maroni and Adrian Fields--assistant to the D.A.--discuss what's to be done about the Harvey Dent problem.

"Lord, I try. Keep it down, keep it down. But it's inside of me. All this anger. All this rage."

"You think this is some kind of board game, with the rules printed under the box lid?"
