The Birth of Two-Face



Two-Face may not be the most famous or most dangerous Batman villain, but he perhaps may represent the biggest disappointment of Batman's career.

Harvey Dent is often represented as an ally of Batman and Gotham's police chief, Commissioner James Gordon. A popular and handsome District Attorney, Dent works with the two to wage a war on crime. However, Dent ends up with a scarred half of his face and becomes a dangerous criminal.

This comic clip from Detective Comics #66 shows the comic back-story that often described the accident that scarred his face.


In The Dark Knight, the story is altered slightly. In a trap set up by the Joker, Dent and girlfriend Rachel Dawes are trapped in separate locations filled with explosives. Dent falls over and gets half his face covered in spilled oil and... well... you'll see what happens.
