Batman: Faces

Matt Wagner writes and illustrates this self-contained 1995 DC Comics one-shot, a moody character study that peels back the layers of two of Gotham’s most grotesque rogues. Set in a rain-slicked, noir Gotham, the story delves into the origins and obsessions of Two-Face and the Joker, using their disfigurements as a lens to explore the nature of identity and duality. A concise, artist-driven gem from a celebrated creator, Batman: Faces stands as a potent, standalone exploration of the Dark Knight’s iconic villains.
