    Batman #710

    No Caption Provided
    Two-Face is back, Mario Falcone is wanting Gotham City back under his thumb and more! As Two-Face looks for his coin throughout a city with a population over one million, he's going to have to suffice without it if he wants to survive the night. Mario is beginning to target the ex-D.A. turned mad man and will make sure that Two-Face doesn't gain his territory back.

    Having stuck with the series for so very long, yes I am still reading, this is one of the Batman series that features Dick Grayson as the main "Batman" in the book. While his adventures in Detective Comics are more entertaining and action packed, I can see Tony Daniel is beginning to get better and better at being a writer. Usually writing and artwork is a big task to put on anyone, so Tony is taking a break for now and will probably return as artist (again) after this arcs closure. His contributions to cover each issue is terrific, I like how he uses very dark and heavy inks in his covers and it really makes it stand out from others. While Two-Face is one of my favorite Dick Grayson-Batman villains, I do think this series could continue without the re-appearance of Catgirl, Catwoman, and Mario Falcone. All my least favorite characters of the book. While the cliffhanger at the end makes readers want more, others might want to jump off at this point. How many times have we seen people get shot and seemingly bleed out to death? I mean this has been in so many issues of the Batman title. This is a tad bit cliche. 
     
    Artwork by Steve Scott is pretty good. It looks cool and slick to some of the other artwork I have seen in the book. With only a few artist actually working on this title, and many others on separate books, I think Dick Grayson's adventures in Batman only give a breather to readers who want more of Dick Grayson as Batman or give them something else to read. I haven't decided if it is either or both. 
     
    If you're avid about this title pick it up. You don't really need to know what is going on, it is pretty simple once you just jump in. Other readers might want to get off and check out Detective Comics, much better action and story. Overall this is a 3.5 out of 5.

      As the cover states. Two-Face returns and goes on a killing rampage, only to meet a man who wants revenge.The GoodFor the first time since he started writing for the book instead of doing the art, I actually liked a Tony Daniel story. This issue involves Two-Face and what's left of the Falcone family. From what it seems like, because of something in the spoiler section below, this is going to be a story that drags Two-Face, once again, between the world of crime and vigilantism. A solid conclusi...

      The Good: Although I'm sad to see Tony Daniel already dropping art duties, Steve Scott has a style that's not too terribly dissimilar to Daniel's.Two-Face has gone absolutely NUTS without his coin, and it's haunting to see the results. I'm really impressed with Daniel's ability to write Two-Face in such a way, in a place we've never seen him before, but not out of character at all.Elements of Daniel's run are weaving their way together. This has been one of his best uses of the Falcones so far.T...
