Batman in the Fifties #[nn]
The cover by Michael Cho captures the sheer imaginative exuberance of Batman's 1950s adventures in one gloriously busy image — a swirling crowd of Batmen in wildly different costumes (mummy-wrapped, deep-sea diver, caveman, astronaut, and more) surging forward alongside a bright-caped Robin, all set against a warm orange-and-yellow burst. This DC collection promises "Classic Tales of the Caped Crusader," including the story "The Batmobile of 1950!" crafted by writer David Vern Reed, artist Dick Sprang, and inker Charles Paris. If you've ever wanted to experience the anything-goes creativity that defined the Dark Knight's mid-century heyday, this $29.99 volume looks like a genuinely fun place to start.

When the reformed Harvey Dent tries to prevent a robbery, he is caught in an explosion and reverts to Two-Face. He embarks on a new crime spree, and Batman and Robin deduce that Two-Face is going after people who commonly show two faces to the world. At a ceremony making Bruce Wayne honorary chief of a local tribe, Batman and Robin are trapped by Two-Face and strapped to a giant coin. Two-Face flips the coin over a bed of spikes, and though the gimmick is rigged to land face down, the dynamic duo manages to create a magnetic field and flip the coin so that they land safely.
