Great page! You get the flip, the determination, and the action. I remember this page well but had never registered who the artist is. It's fun to see the OA so many years after reading the story.
I forgot about this issue, thanks for reminding me how cool it was. Back when Annuals meant something.
"You were always a good friend Michael." *flips coin*
Great page from a very memorable issue! Even better when art evokes so many memories and associations! Thanks for sharing!
Heads I win, tails you lose!
This was a great annual issue and this page is classic Two-Face content, love it! Congrats.
Also Your story about seeing movies back in the 90s with friends pre-internet/smartphones etc. also brings me back several similar memories. It's impossible to replicate the amount of effort it used to take to bring that many people together for a paid event. We have it way too easy now, but who has 30 friends to see movies with in 2025 right ;) I have a soft spot for Batman Forever myself, a movie I saw in the theater once but countless times since then. It had the right balance of camp/cheese and serious for me at the time, and probably have nostalgia glasses on for now when I rewatch it. That U2 song for me is also the best track on an all around great soundtrack that was influential in how I look at soundtracks in general which inspired me during certain work projects later in life!
I think if I tried to get a group together for a movie in 2025, I'd have a tough time getting three people, let alone thirty!
That's very cool that the Batman Forever soundtrack was so influential to you. I miss the days when a movie's soundtrack could be bigger than the film itself - Empire Records immediately comes to mind, and arguably the soundtrack to Singles. Maybe I'm just not paying attention to the right movies these days, but it doesn't seem like we get that type of soundtrack album all that much anymore.
Yeah I'm mainly a go see the movie solo type these days during a time when nobody is there to avoid bigger crowds, ocasionally I'll go with 1 or 2 friends but that means trekking into the city from NJ just for a movie usually (ugh).
Loved the Empire Records soundtrack. Some other films where the soundtrack feels bigger than the movie itself to me were Garden State, and more recently A Star Is Born. But overall I think you are right, where that occurence feels less prominent in modern times.
I personally worked on the soundtrack albums for the first Kick-Ass movie which was licensed tracks/music (and IMHO was a solid soundtrack). I also worked on the Bono/Edge (they wrote the music and lyrics and Steve Lillywhite produced) soundtrack album for Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark broadway play, and I was on the team for the U2 album "No Line On The Horizon" released in 2009...so plenty of random U2 related work memories kicking around in my noggin'!
Two-Face, I only hear what I want to
And Two-Face, I walk so all the time, so
And I thought what a flip to evil
And I thought that I don't belong
And now Wak I am leavin'
Now I know Harvey Dent something's wrong
Sprouse I missed you
Yeah, yeah, I missed you
And Two-Face, I sit in chair when I want to
In Steve Mitchell art, don't pay attention
To the distance that you're runnin'
To anyone, anywhere
I don't understand if the movies care
And Billy’s hearin' negative, no, no, Jones, bad
Since "Stay" is my wife's favorite song, I now need to convince her that these were the original lyrics. I think I can do it.
A cool Two-Face page indeed. But the memory you shared is even better!
A fun (very) early Sprouse Bat page.
(Never have been a Schumacher fan though, either his films or political views therein. I confess "Falling Down" seemed decent at the time but I'm not sure how it holds on to an adult).
Schumacher is very hit or miss for me. Even with his two Batman films, I enjoyed the first one and did not enjoy the second one. But he did direct "The Lost Boys", so I'll give him a pass.
Screw you guys, I'm going home.
What a page. What a scene. Great Chris
