all star batman vol 1 my own worst enemy

Especially toward the end of Snyder's Batman run, he portrayed Batman as a symbol of the everyman, that the myth of Batman represents the human desire to right wrongs and not to give up. Indeed I'd venture Two-Face does not work in this story - his neurochemical warring sides gets very complicated versus simply a scarred former DA who now enacts his own brand of twisted justice - except in the way in which he relates to Snyder's larger Batman themes. I found this lesser, at least in part because Snyder doesn't demonstrate what that means in practical terms - what's an example of another of Batman's battles with this particular Two-Face - though he does offer some explanation for 'fun' Two-Face versus this one in terms of how Harvey Dent's influence waxes and wanes on his other half. Snyder eschews the character's trademark obsession with specific instances of duality for something more insidious, casting Two-Face as an information broker who facilitates people enacting their darker impulses. 5: The Big Burn notwithstanding, we barely saw Two-Face in the New 52, versus his significant roles prior to that in No Man's Land, Gotham Central, Face the Face, and so on. It's been a while since we've had a meaty Two-Face story Peter Tomasi's Batman and Robin Vol. And despite all of this, My Own Worst Enemy's themes are hopeful ones those who follow Snyder to All-Star after his pantheon of 'Gotham Is' Batman stories will certainly find those themes continued. And Snyder's All-Star is far from toned down this is not a Batman cruel by any means, but mouthier than we're used to and with little patience for his enemies.

What this most recent All-Star is, in a certain respect, is a return to Scott Snyder, horror writer, which was not wholly absent in Snyder's mainstream Batman title but was surely toned down a little. But the sheer volume of stabbings, torture, and other misdeeds surprised me, until I recalled that this all started once upon a time with Snyder's Batman: Black Mirror, which came with its own share of blood and dismemberment. Clearly All-Star marks a Scott Snyder unrestrained, between the amount of pseudo-cursing, his merciless Batman reminiscent even of Frank Miller's All-Star Batman, and getting his Batman back in the cornfields a la Snyder's Batman: Zero Year. 1: My Own Worst Enemy was its unexpected level of violence. One thing that struck me about All-Star Batman Vol.
