    Default "Face the Face" Batman TPB ?

    I just began to read this book and had some questions.

    I understand it's supposed to take place after Infinite Crisis, which I also just finished.

    1) In the beginning of the book, they mentioned that Batman and Robin have returned after leaving abruptly. I assume they are talking about how Batman and Robin left at the end of Infinite Crisis?

    2) When did Two-face get his surgery? Is it collected in a TPB?

    3) When did commissioner Gordon return? Is his return also collected in a TPB?

    1) Yes. They are traveling the world, along with Dick Grayson, in 52.

    2) Harvey's successful surgery happened in, and was an important part of, the Hush storyline, available in TPB.

    3)This hasn't been shown yet, but will presumably be covered in 52.

    Hope this helps.

    This was the first Batman comic I got in a few years and I quite liked it.

    It was great until the end. But still, it was fun for what it was.

    It was a quantum leap in quality from what Bat-readers had been getting in the main titles pre-OYL, even with the ending (which didn't bother me as much as it did some others). Glad to see the return of Gordon, Bullock and Two-Face. That aspect alone made FTF a great story, imo.

    Anything that ties into Dan Slott's Arkham Asylum: Living Hell is okay in my book.

    Ahh okay, thanks for the info. I did read Hush but I completely forgot about Harvey's surgery, <no excuses on my part>.

    Hmm, well then I look forward to 52 to explain some of the mysteries.

    Any other TPB's set after Infinite Crisis?

    ^Actually, yes, there's the Superman tpb for "Up, Up and Away."
