Next up, The Batman Universe talked with Detective Comics writer, John Layman. Layman came on to the series just under a year ago and has introduced many classic villains into the series. With the 900th issue of Detective Comics released earlier this month, we talked with Layman about upcoming events and the 900th issue.   TBU: A lot of listeners have commented on how your issues have a classic feel to them in terms of the writing style similar to stories of the 1970's. Are you inspired by those…

  This image from "Two-Face part.1" threatens the presence of the classic villain an entire act and a half before he's shown at the very end. It both foreshadows his design and reveals the terrible dichotomy between Harvey Dent's two personalities.   Posted by Donovan Grant

  Episode 10: Two-Face Story By: Alan Burnett Teleplay By: Randy Rogel Directed By: Kevin Altieri Original Air Date: 09/25/92   After making appearances in two previous episodes (“On Leather Wings,” and “Pretty Poison”)  Harvey Dent takes his tragic fall into darkness in the awesome two-part episode, “Two-Face.”  Having Harvey Dent appear in two prior episodes was a great decision by the producers.

There are graphic novels that I can't remember as well as I remember this one. The level of storytelling, especially through the use of the media in Gotham City. The animated film of Frank Miller’s redefinition and reemergence of the Batman as a gritty, tough, even sadistic version of his former self. However, make no mistake loyal Bat-fans. Bruce is old. Too old to be out swinging over rooftops. Or so we think. He still has the edge, but most importantly, he scares criminals more than ever…

  Episode 05: Pretty Poison
Written By: Tom Ruegger
Directed By: Boyd Kirkland
Original Air Date: 09/14/92   Poison Ivy holds the title of being the first female villain to appear in Batman: The Animated Series, and she makes her debut in the fifth episode of the series titled, "Pretty Poison."
