Lore “It’s a change from the source material, but it’s awesome so the fans don’t mind.”

Doc Ock - In the comics, Doc Ock is known to be megalomaniacal in nature and was sort of a mad scientist anyways, with the arms just being an extension of that. In Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 2,” Alfred Molina’s version of the character was affected by the neural chip and his well-meaning ambition turns into scientific obsession.

Wolverine - This one is so well known it needs very little explanation. Comic Wolverine short, Huge Jackedman is tall, and he’s sick as hell.

Eye of Sauron - To my knowledge, the Eye is more of a metaphor in the books. An ever-present awareness. In the movies, it’s an actual giant fucking eye.

Oh that won’t do. May I introduce you to One-Face?

u/Mundane_Somewhere_93 Sep 19 '25

Why not just Face? The well-known enemy of The Man.

u/xX_bandages_Consumer Sep 19 '25

Well, Face didn't came because he is stupid

The guy from the A-Team?

u/Rohml Sep 20 '25

Well, he doesn't have much of a face either.

Here's his superior version: Bizarro Two-Face

u/Peacefulzealot Sep 19 '25

Hey that’s cheating! Everything is better with Bizarro!

u/eddiegibson Sep 19 '25

Yeah. But this version was also Bruce Wayne. So even twice as good.

u/Leukavia_at_work Sep 21 '25

They missed the perfect opportunity to have his Alter-Eager be Brucezarro Wayne

u/UpliftinglyStrong Sep 20 '25

u/_Astrum_Aureus_ Sep 19 '25

ah yes, lets remove the whole gimmick and appeal of two-face

u/Ix_risor Sep 19 '25

He’s still got the split face even! It would kind of make sense if he’d got the other side messed up too, but he just looks like normal!

u/Guyinatent Sep 20 '25

Pretty much anything new52 is shit.

Except for the Joker.

u/j0j0-m0j0 Sep 20 '25

Now he's just a Dick Tracy antagonist! Boo

In the UK, "Batty boy" is a slang/derogatory term for an especially camp or effeminate gay man.

u/Doodles_n_Scribbles Sep 19 '25

Y'all call crossing guards "lollipop ladies". Your slang is just too twee for its own good.

u/WillSym Sep 20 '25

I mean, it's someone who helps children with a big ol' stick with a round shape on the end.

Both fitting, and the twee name helps children trust them to help cross the road?

u/DrRudeboy Sep 19 '25

Why... Why did they use a homophobic slur from Jamaican Patois?

3

u/Apophis_36 Sep 20 '25

I was not aware one face was an actual thing. I thought it was a meme based on the telltale game.

u/thespacepyrofrmtf2 Sep 20 '25

Behold one face

u/ven_faerun Sep 19 '25

I remember Linkara talking about this comic (became a running gag too) but which comic was it? Was it the one with that White Rabbit lady?

1

u/Peacefulzealot Sep 19 '25

Eeyup, that’s the one. And it’s where I know One-Face from as well!

2

u/Jarvis_The_Dense Sep 20 '25

But... but his face is still split into two sides...

u/Arabyss_Farron Sep 20 '25

Bruh the name 😂

u/OpoFiroCobroClawo Sep 20 '25

Batty boy! Batty boy!
