[Alexander The Triumphant · Rating 5 out of 5]

In this book, Two-Face's Double Take, there were two other heroes at the end, and they were Batgirl and Robin. Two-Face captured Bruce Wayne, but Bruce Wayne escaped and changed into his Batman uniform and defeated all of Two-Face's men. Two-Face used to be Gotham's white knight. Where Two-Face brought Bruce Wayne was where he became evil. Two-Face got into an explosion there, and scarred half of his face and then the dark side took control. Sometimes Two-Face is good. When it comes to difficult choices to choose if Two-Face is going to be good or bad, Two-Face flips his special coin. -by Alexander

For me I read these stories because they remind me of a simpler time during my childhood and Batman was and remains my favorite comic book hero. This story is about an adventure where three villains are involved and two are trying to pay back a debt to an old friend who turns out to be two face. At the same time you find out that harvey Two face has major plans of his own. He wanted a partner so he decides to turn his old Friend Bruce Wayne into a two face like him. Can bruce figure out how to stop harvey after being kidnapped and before they mangle his face to be like two faces. Can he hide who he is and become batman to save the day without Two face knowing what's happening. I loved it .

More great stuff from Manning! Two-face is one of my favorite villains. Glad to see him show up here in the DC Super Heroes series. Lots of fun. Lots of action. Will be a hit with Reluctant Readers.
