With Batman:Earth One Volume Two out, writer Geoff Johns continues to reinvent the Dark Knight's mythos in fresh and unexpected ways.

Fulfilling the Earth One graphic novel line's mission statement—present new, self-contained takes on DC icons in the vein of Marvel's Ultimate Universe—Johns spins an interesting divergence for several Batman characters. As Johns outlines in an exclusive extended clip from this week's DC All Access video, he's bringing that Earth One twist to Batman icons like The Riddler, Killer Croc, and Harvey "Two Face" Dent.

Below, you can watch Johns' in-depth discussion on Bruce Wayne's continuing evolution into the Caped Crusader, why his Riddler is the deadliest iteration yet, and that Two-Face twist that no one will see coming.


Batman: Earth One Volume 2, by Johns and artist Gary Frank, hits comic shops today.
