When Two-Face is carried out of the hospital, his left leg is shown to be damaged. Although, in "Two-Face, Part I", when he walked out of the hospital room, his left leg wasn't affected in any way.

Batman& Robin watch as an ambulance carrying Two-Face takes him to the hospital. Robin asks if the operation will make Harvey better again but Batman is unsure. Ultimately, I enjoyed my time with Second Chances. I got what I paid for, which was early Post-Crisis Batman and Robin, but I'm still left wanting. I think any fan of Bronze Age Batman can have fun with this, but the only people who need this volume are completionists and like me they will disappointed by the glaring omissions.They fought side-by-side, battle after battle after battle, sleepless nights, and open wounds, both physical and emotional. To start off, I don't know what this collection wants to be. Inside are Batman issues 402-403, 408-416, and half of Annual #11. In theory this collects most of the Post-Crisis issues of Batman before those collected in the Caped Crusader volumes. But if that were the point, why leave out the first Post-Crisis issue, 401? I would understand if they didn't want to include tie-ins, it's a part of the Legends event, but #416 is collected and it ties into to Millennium. I understand leaving out the Year One storyline in 404-407 as that story has become a phenomenon unto itself that is somehow separate from the rest of Batman lore despite defining so much of it. But why leave out Allen Moore's contribution to Annual #11? Frankly that Clayface story which I went out of my way to seek out after reading this is as good or better than the best tale in Second Chances. Jason raised a hand to his mouth to muffle the sob, but it still rang out through the cave. His vision was blurring from tears. The next day, Bruce Wayne eats breakfast at Wayne Manor with Alfred Pennyworth and Jason Todd. Alfred investigates companies that sell Batman costumes, and finds that every one in the area has been stolen. Jason asks Bruce what's so wrong about killing criminals. Bruce tells him murder is a line they must not cross. Jason reminds him that he's killed before, and Bruce says this was in self-defense. "If we're no better than the lice who snuff out human life like it's worth nothing at all, then, well -- then it's time I hung up my cowl." Jason responds that he's still glad the crooks are dead, and Bruce says he is also but he's not proud of that. One volume collecting both Young Avengers Presents and Dark Reign: Young Avengers – the two miniseries that come between the Heinberg and Gillen runs, and aren't event tie-ins.

Faked Kidnapping: A strange example in that that the person being kidnapped and doing the kidnapping are one and the same, but the Two-Face personality kidnaps the Harvey Dent one. Bruce Wayne visits a man named Howard Despond whose wife was killed by the muggers who died fighting Batman. He pretends to be there on Wayne Foundation business. Despond says nobody cared about his wife's death except the detective who took the muggers in. While Robin attempts to sneak in on Thorne, he's caught and taken to his target. Robin explains that Harvey's been kidnapped and he thinks Thorne's behind it. Thorne just laughs at the thought and has his thugs take Robin to the Gotham Gate Bridge to throw him into the river. Fortunately, Robin has a glass cutter in his glove and manages to cut his bonds. He makes short work of the thugs but is no closer to finding who is behind Harvey's kidnapping. Firstly, I fully do not understand why they decided to collect all these stories together besides the fact that they were published in succession to each other. But that's not even true since the first two issues are published separately. I genuinely just don't understand the logic. Three of the stories are left unfinished. If they're published as a collection then surely you would try to /collect/ the stories. Weird.report information) Script Jim Starlin (credited) Pencils Jim Aparo (credited) Inks Mike DeCarlo (credited) Colors Adrienne Roy (credited) Letters Agustin Más (credited) When Batman first meets a tough kid named Jason Todd, the boy is more criminal than crimefighter. But from that first encounter, a powerful new bond is forged. The Dark Knight sees Jason’s potential to be a hero-as well as the rage and revenge that torment him. Did Jason Todd really deserve all that hatred? Based on the stories in this book: no. Max Allan Collins and Jim Starlin do a decent job making him an agreeable sort of fellow. I'm guessing it's the Jason Todd from 1983-86 that got on reader's nerves and sent the lad into an early grave. This collected edition chronicles some of the key adventures in the short-lived career of Jason Todd, the second Robin, after his origin story was completely rebooted in the wake of Crisis on Infinite Earths. In some respects, Second Chances forms the first of a "Replacement Robin" trilogy that continues in Batman: Death In The Family and Batman: A Lonely Place of Dying. These comics were published at the same time Batman was going at it alone in Tim Burton's first feature-film adaptation, but stand as a testament to what an important place in the Batman mythos -- and superhero pantheon in general -- the Boy Wonder occupies.

Finally we have Annual #11, or half of it. It's fine. It's a Penguin story, a good Penguin story, and how many of those exist? It has a lot of humor and heart, and makes Batman relatable which almost no other story in this volume does. But to me, it can't help but be overshadowed by the Clayface Allen Moore story which is also advertised on the issue's cover and, for reasons unknown to me, not contained in this volume. I'm really sore over that. In my excitement for James Gunn's upcoming DCU, I've decided to become more involved in my reading of DC Comics. And what a better place to start than the original jumping on point, Post-Crisis? The issues are interrupted by Year One which makes things a bit funny in regard to Jason’s timeline. That's another thing I liked about these stories. Batman wasn't written so deeply in darkness that there weren't a few moments of levity, of humanity. Of course, some of those moments were a little cheesy, but that honestly just felt nostalgic, so I can't really complain. Some of the narration also crossed that line from dramatic to cheesy, but again... nostalgia. And, for the most part, the writers delivered perfectly pitched stories and character interactions.While not only about Jason Todd and his becoming the second Robin, this was a collection full of second chances. Moments later in the Batmobile, Batman and Robin discuss their own pursuits and they realize that something is wrong. The sedan where Harvey was placed, was heading towards Stonegate Penitentiary, where Penguin, who hates Harvey, is located; and the van that Batman wasted is owned by Rupert Thorne, who also has a personal grudge against Dent. They decide to look into both criminals just to be sure. As they part ways, Batman looks at the abandoned place that is now the Half Moon Club and he remembers Harvey's words. Before the operation can begin, gunmen burst into the room and kidnap Harvey. Batman and Robin pursue the thugs, who take separate vehicles, but neither of them manage to save Harvey. (Batman reacts to Robin's failure rather coolly, to which Robin is a bit resentful.) Later they consider where the vehicles were going and who they were registered to, and conclude that either Rupert Thorne or the Penguin was behind the kidnapping. Robin goes after Thorne while Batman goes after Penguin. and 411 pit the duo against Two-Face. This is where the Bronze Age elements stood out the most for me. Most of my comic reading stems from Silver Age fare from Marvel and 2000s era books from both companies. This time period contains the silly humor and wild characterizations of the earlier period and the more serious themes and consequences from the latter. The result is pretty baffling, though entertaining, for my modern sensibilities. Ultimately I enjoyed this caper, even if I didn't really "get it." Jason did everything from cooking, chores, work, and took care of Alfred. Cass wasn't there anymore. Like Tim, she moved out of Gotham. Jason couldn't blame her, the house was dark, cold, and empty.
