Subject Matter
Genres: superhero
Character(s): Batman [Bruce Wayne]; Robin [Dick Grayson]; Commissioner James Gordon; Harvey Dent; unnamed casting director; Two-Face [Paul Sloane] (villain, origin, introduction); Joe (prop man); Blinky; Professor Hodge
First Line: He's back!
Synopsis: Paul Sloane is chosen to re-create the role of Harvey Dent and how he became Two-Face for a television program. Unfortunately, a jealous prop man substitutes real acid for the fake acid that is thrown in Sloane's face, and the result is an scarred appearance identical to that of the real Two-Face. Sloane's mind snaps and he begins a crime rampage, with all crimes based of the toss of "Boss" Morony's silver dollar.
