About this Collection

This collection brings together the two 2009 DC one-shots that reimagine the early years of two of Batman's most iconic rogues. In Batman: Two-Face Year One, writer Mark Sable and artist Jesús Saiz delve into Harvey Dent's tragic transformation from Gotham's golden boy district attorney to the scarred, coin-flipping villain. Batman: Scarecrow Year One, by writer Scott Beatty and artist Tom Mandrake, explores Dr. Jonathan Crane's descent into the fear-obsessed criminal mastermind.

In "Part One" of Batman: Two-Face and Scarecrow Year One, Bruce Jones and Sean Murphy deliver a chilling, tightly wound mystery as Batman and Robin race to decode the Scarecrow’s twisted trail of clues—leading them to a shocking revelation about his true identity and a desperate attempt to stop him from turning on his own mother. With haunting visuals by Murphy and atmospheric coloring by Lee Loughridge, this standout issue builds tension with precision, all under Zach Howard’s eerie cover art.
