Part 5 is out tommorrow. With Harvey Dent "dead" now, could there be a shot that Two-Face will return in this chapter? They could probably just show him at the end of the issue, and have a full appearance in the sixth part, since the cover has him on it:  |

Umm, no one. But Harvey isn't Two Face. I was revealed that the house was blown up so he can escape.

OH! I forgot.
Yeah, Orca is dead. The villian, not the mammal.

Does anybody have any theories about the double-barrel killer?
I really doubt it's Harvey. Batman left him in charge of Gotham for a year, and apparantly that went alright. It seems that these murders just started once Batman got back in town.
I think someone used Two-Face's gun to make Bats suspect Two-Face and cause the whole confrontation where Harvey says "if you were my friend you wouldn't need assurances" and then blows up his home.
The killings all center around whatever was in Penguin's storage facility though. Maybe someone has a secret to keep, or maybe a mastermind (like Hush) is killing everyone connected to that storage facility just to make Batman investigate it...
I don't know, what do you think?

I think its Two Face's side of Harvey thats doing the killings in a force attempt to bring Harvey back.
EDIT: Here are my late reviews:
BATMAN #652
REVEW:
Story: Scarface and Wesker are dead. Through a security tape, Batman & Robin find that all the villians had met before including the next oen to die: Orca. After Batman and Bullock make amens, Robin goes out to fight Killer Moth while Batman goes to talk to his old friend...
With the end of this part, the story takes turn. People have been saying that Two Face is coming back and must be killing the villians. Yet, theres still no evidence to point either way. The huge mystery on why the villians are dying is one that we would have to wait to see why this is going on, but I do know that if we come up with our own explantion, it'll bite us back. Best to wait and look at the new clues as the next issues cdome in.
Batman still talks about what he wants for Robin, but its still up in the air of wha the wants. But like the murder mystery, we get clues. The big here is that he admits that through all these times he has doubted a sidekick. How this sounds, it sounds like what many assumed which is Bruce may want to legally adopt Tim Drake, like Dick Grayson, and have him become his ward. It sounds like it.
Overall, another good one. The mystery is still here and it ain't even close of finishing. We're all wondering what's going on.
RATING: 8/10
DETECTIVE COMICS #819
REVEW:
Story: Batman, Robin, Gordon, & Bullock start the seacrh for Orca. After fighting with Killer Croc, they find Orca's body. As Harvey is pushing away his Two Face side, Jason Bard tries to figure out on his side the mysteryu of the villian's deaths, with gun shooting results.
With Orca dead, the villians from that tape are all gone. Yet, with the story still going, even I'm wondering if more are on the killer's list. Two Face is still trying to bring Hravey Dent back. My theory: I believe his Two Face side did the killings in a attempt to bring Harvey back (since his body would still have to go and kill). If thats the case, then its a fight between the two mental sides.
While the first half was pure Batman, the second half was Jason Bard. Reading him, its another deterctive story in the Batman world. I'm reminded of Gotham Central, where the cops there were solving cases without the help of Batman. This is the same here but shorter and on a person who is just a detective with a Bond side of his own.
Overall, good.
REVIEW: 8/10

I always thought it was Harvey. He didn't really start this until Batman told him he was relieved of his duties. That's when he started this. KGBeast was probably just part of his styles. Although a few months ago, I did hear a rumor about something. Tell me, what has the Question been doing during OYL?  Bruce adopting Tim? I could see it blinker, but I don't think it would be that big of a decision. But we won't know for sure until the end next month. |

He could be mad that Harvey took his position and he's using one of Two-Face's double barrel shooters to frame Harvey. This could be what they mean by the preview for Batman#654 when they say it's Batman vs. Two Face vs. Harvey Dent. I still think it's Harvey though. |

I keep hearing DC wants to build up the character of The Questions based on his popularity of the JLU. I can't see them making him the killer and the villian. It's either Two-Face or someone we haven't figured out yet.

Here's a clue in the Jason Bard part of the story: he talks to someone then that somoen gets killed by The Tally Man. Now, the other clue is that they mentioned that the Penguin left town.
Now, those have to be clues.

Ah, man. The more I think about it, the harder this mystery is. I mean I still think it really is Harvey, but the smoking gun is just too obvious.

Is it possible we have a scene similar to The Long Halloween where maybe one of the villians faked a death to continue murdering others with out them being a suspect?

Batman vs Harvey Dent vs Two Face?
I think....
Batman trying to save Harvey by regaining control as Two Face was controlling his body and mind to do the killings.
How's that?

Actually, I was thinking that maybe Hush has returned. I do think there is somebody working behind the scenes again and I'm thinking its somebody who's good at it. Maybe Lex Luthor again.

Well, we still don't know whether or not Hush died in the last issue of GK, but I doubt it's him.

BATMAN #653
REVEW:
Story: Harvey and Two Face confront one another. Harvey remembers his time with Batman moments before he left Gotham at the end of Infinite Crisis #7. With everything good that had happen in his life, Two Face twists it his way. In the end: its a rebirth.
Not much going on. Evidence of the Two Face side of Harvey doing the murders is brought up in light. I knew it was him, although while mentioned it isn't 100% said it was him.
One of the big things from this issue was that this was Harvey's side of the story of pre-52 and what was it like to protect Gotham during the Dark Knight's absence. Which begs the question, since I'm not reading 52, if Batman hired Harvey to protect Gotham then why is The Question in Gotham to begin with in 52?
That's somethign for 52 readers to find out. Not me.
Overall, an old enemy has returned and with two more issues to go of this arc, one wonders how it will end. And plus, what are the plans Batman has with Robin.
REVIEW: 7/10

So he didn't kill anyone this issue. Okay.
Well, the eleventh hour is upon us. This storyline ends next month with DETECTIVE COMICS#820 and BATMAN#654. Will Harvey be brought to justice? Will we finally know what Batman's plans for Robin will be? Find out next month in the conclusion to "Face the Face."
