Harvey Dent/Two-face, Attorney At Law(again)
Compilation of Knightfall house-ads running in DC Comics titles through 1993.
can you imagine the amount of pictures with people who became criminals a gotham socialite would have???
Harvey and Jason, successfully negotiating with Roman and the silly-looking gimp skull mask he’s now wearing for a new hideout. Zombie Zsasz helped!

The first two-pages of an unpublished Mr. Zsasz story intended to be published as part of the "This Issue... Batman DIES!" theme where Batman supposedly dies in every issue. This was meant to be the Gotham Knights entry by writer Devin Grayson and artists Roger Robinson and John Floyd, but DC deemed it too violent and replaced it at the last minute with a filler issue.
Read more of it over at Robinson's Facebook page, and judge for yourself whether or not this lost story deserved to be buried. Shocking as the violence may be, I kinda feel that it pales in comparison to the kind of gruesomeness we've seen over the past eight years at DC.
In Arkham War, Mr. Zsasz is not only musclebound, but also sporting a silly goatee that makes him look like a scarred-up Dan DiDio on Venom. In this one panel, however, it looks like he has a handlebar mustache, making him the most dapper damn Zsasz ever.

The lost year of Harvey Dent: Gotham's forgotten hero.
This was meant to be the cover for Batman: Gotham Knights#12, which was intended to be part of the This Issue: Batman Dies! semi-event, which featured Batman getting killed in each issue. Obviously this story, written by B:GK scribe Devin Grayson, would have been focused on Mr. Zsasz. It was solicited and everything, complete with a preview image of the above cover art fully colorized.
But the issue was never released. With no announcement, the Zsasz issue was scrapped and this Oracle-based fill-in issue by Jen Van Meter was released instead. Why was the Zsasz issue scrapped at the last minute? What happened? Does anyone have any info?
What's more, I have to wonder... what was the actual Zsasz story going to be like? Was it just too graphically violent for DC at the time? If so, then HAHAHA, that's damn funny considering what a bloodbath the company has turned into since War Games/Infinite Crisis onward.
