If he did This one would likely have wrapped up 2 issues ago.
The story of Two-Face reaches its end, and Harvey Dent will at last find peace after decades of schism. But will that peace be in death, or in the chance at a new life? All along, The Joker has been the puppet master behind the torment of Two-Face, and he knows how to make an entrance! Don’t miss the final battle between Batman, Two-Face, and Lincoln March, with a shocking conclusion that will split you right in two!
Wow. Detective Comics #1024 really delivers. Complex villains, kick-ass action, fantastic dialogue, and astonishing art. Yes, this issue has it all. I never saw that ending coming, nor did I ever expect to see Lincoln March again… or Harvey Dent in the New 52 Bat-armor! This Two-Face story has been the character's best in years, and has proven to be a “Joker War” prelude that the main event will have a hard time matching. Read Full Review
It should be no surprise that the creative team led by Peter J. Tomasi and Brad Walker deliver a 5/5 review score. Not only am I personally entertained by the musical references, this take on Batman is absolutely perfect. And, it's just another example in Tomasi's run on Detective Comics. Brad Walker isn't always paired with Tomasi on this title, but Detective Comics #1024 reminds the reader that he should be. This is Batman at his best. Don't be afraid to check it out!

Walker is one of the best artists working today and really knows how to illustrate a great story. Read Full Review
Batman and Two-Face have to decide if theyre friends or foes as Joker stacks the deck with any army of Talons, the foot soldiers/assassins of the Court of Owls. Walker has an explosive action scenario to play with and Tomasi wisely just lets him cut loose with the fracas. With so much detail and energy on every page, Walkers art has rarely looked better and colorist Brad Anderson assures the action looks equally vibrant as it is intense. Read Full Review
This is a good action-heavy finale to the Two-Face cult story arc. If you're looking for bombastic action you'll find it here in a slick package. Read Full Review
There's a lot of action with some great breaks of the Joker giving commentary and just being classic Joker. It's pretty cool seeing Batman not have to hold back and, uh, put someone on the rocks. The art again is incredible and Walker's Two-Face in particular is killer. Although I'm so glad that the Two-Face cult thing is over, it's because of Walker's art and because I think Tomasi writes the character itself well, that I hope we see Two-Face again soon under different circumstances.

A fun issue, but as a Joker War tie-in it's really more of a side story that leads into bigger upcoming plots. Still, any comic with Rookie vs. zombies gets my recommendation. Read Full Review
Brad Walker's art is fantastic across the board. From the characters to the action, everything in the issue looks fantastic. Read Full Review
Now comes the Joker War, where hopefully we see things all tied together. And then it's on to issue #1027, making it a great time to be a fan of Detective Comics. Read Full Review
If Detective Comics #1023 was the enticing set-up for a larger narrative, Detective #1024 is where they realized they'd used up most of their story already. Read Full Review
Obviously, this story is just setting up little details for "Joker War," but Tomasi and Walker try to make that as entertaining as possible. Read Full Review
As a conclusion to the Two-Face arc, this comic fails because it's rushed and hinges on highly questionable comic book logic. As a prelude to "Joker War," this comic fails because this prelude stuff happens in a story that initially had absolutely nothing to do with said crossover. Read Full Review
" Now that's entertainment ! HAHAHAHAHA !"

If only Tomasi got to tell his own story by itself and not have to deal with Joker War.
The Joker war may only be shifting into high gear, but I must say I'm glad this tie-in is finally over. I know The "In" thing today is "Make the story as long and complex as possible so it will sell bigger, more expensive collected editions." That's been the gimmick since "Hush," but a shorter story now and then can be a little more refreshing. Tomasi proved last year he can write a great Joker story in one single issue. I do miss the days when your average Batman story was 1-3 parts. But this is the age of "Money, Money, Money," thank you Dan "The moneygrubber" DiDio. My point is this story was much longer than it needed to be.
Overall, the issue wasn't bad. Not great either though. It also amazes me how graphic comics have become as more
Lincoln March jobbing hard as usual.
Matches Malone needs to be used more.
This is a mixed bag. There are things about it that I really enjoyed but there's also a bunch of stuff that was really badly written. Joker's commentary being part of the bad. I really liked the art though.
This was solid but not great. That brain surgery was... something else.
