Anyone else remember that obscure issue where Scarecrow caused a mass suicide and he actually felt guilty about it?

Because I sure do.

First of all how dare you.

Second of all, so I guess we really are just going to ignore this whole fucking thing, aren’t we, Scott Snyder? 

I wanted so much for this city, Bruce. but I failed.

The doubly-shocking finale of Batman: The Big Burn (Feb. 2014), written by Peter J. Tomasi, pencils by Patrick Gleason, inks by Mick Gray.

This cliffhanger ending was left unresolved for (appropriately enough) two and a half years, and will supposedly finally be addressed in Harvey’s grand return to the mainstream DCU with Scott Snyder’s All-Star Batman, out this week.

My Top 22 Two-Face Stories of All Time Countdown!

#19.) “The Big Burn,” from Batman and Robin Two-Face #24-28 (2013-2014), written by Peter J. Tomasi, art by Patrick Gleason and Mick Gray.

In this all-new take on Two-Face’s origin (and possibly also his final fate), Batman finds himself caught in the middle between Two-Face and the vengeful Irish mob boss who murdered Gilda and inadvertently created Two-Face. As Bruce struggles to keep his old friends from killing each other, flashbacks reveal the new backstory for Harvey Dent, whom Erin McKillen blames for her sister’s death, and who may not have been entirely innocent. It all ramps up to major revelations and a shocking cliffhanger which remains unresolved nearly two years later!

I’ll be honest: I expected to hate this story. Gilda fridged? Harvey possibly being corrupt as D.A.? The classic origin wiped out? There was not enough DO NOT WANT in the world. So color me surprised when I ended up really, really liking this new origin. It’s not my preferred take, but on its own merits, it’s a damn good story, one which makes a couple profound impacts on Two-Face as a character, especially in regards to his relationship with Bruce. And while Gilda’s fridging is still bad, it at least gives Harvey a “Mr. Freeze” layer of extra romantic tragedy, which seems to have resonated with some fans.

That said, this story is something of a mess. It was obviously supposed to be a very different story, one which involved with origins of Carrie Kelly, until these plans were scapped at the last minute. Frankly, it’s amazing that this story is as coherent as it is, and I would still love to know what the hell happened behind the scenes that changed the original version of this story, whatever the hell that was.

Regardless, “The Big Burn” was a very strong story with some revelations and twists that really should have led to greater attention and reaction from the apathetic comics press. It’s honestly bizarre to me that no one seems to care about that ending, much less that Two-Face hasn’t made any appearances since Spring 2014. Whether it’s Scott Snyder or someone else who finally brings Harvey back (because of course he’s coming back.. right?), hopefully that writer won’t just sweep “The Big Burn” under the rug. This story is a rare care of a New 52 origin actually being pretty damn good, and it deserves recognition.

Also, bring back Erin McKillen, preferably written by Tomasi. She’s a fascinatingly loathsome antagonist, a rare case of a villain I actually love to hate.

Why don't we talk about Airplane! on Tumblr?

I adore this movie with all my heart, but why is there no blow up guy gifs 😂

It’s the extended scene that ends with “Give me Ham on white, hold the Mayo” that kills me every damn time.
