Television[]

Live-action[]

Nicholas D'Agosto as Harvey Dent on Gotham.

• Harvey Dent never appeared in the 1960s Batman television series. Several scripts featuring the character were developed however, and Clint Eastwood was allegedly slated to play the role at one point.^[3] The most prominent of the scripts, submitted by New Wave science fiction author Harlan Ellison, was eventually adapted into the 2015 comic Batman '66: The Lost Episode.^[4]
• A pre-disfigured version of Harvey Dent appears on the live-action TV series Gotham, portrayed by Nicholas D'Agosto.^[5][6] He first appears in the season one episode "Harvey Dent" in which he is portrayed as the Assistant District Attorney of Gotham City. Harvey meets with Gordon regarding the murder of Bruce's parents. He suspects that a corrupt billionaire Dick Lovecraft has a connection with Thomas and Martha Wayne's murder. In "Lovecraft", after Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle were attacked in Wayne Manor by assassins, Harvey believes that Lovecraft hired them, but Gordon and Bullock discover that he is not a culprit and is soon killed. After the case, the mayor Aubrey James attempted to punish him for his collaboration with Gordon and their way of solving the case, but he relented because of Dent's popular reputation in town. In "Everyone Has a Cobblepot", Harvey reveals to Gordon and Sarah Essen that all charges against Arnold Flass (for committing a murder and involvement in drug dealing) were dropped; Loeb blackmailed Bullock because of the latter's killing a criminal many years ago, using it as a leverage. Dent and Gordon question a former Loeb's partner to uncover his secret. In the season two episode "Rise of the Villains: Mommy's Little Monster", Harvey comes in GCPD with Gordon, GCPD Captain Nathaniel Barnes (Michael Chicklis), Bullock and Theo Galavan (James Frain) after Cobblepot tried to kill Theo (the latter killed Cobblepot's mother). Harvey is supportive to Theo's mayor candidacy, but is unaware of Theo's criminal intentions and is later seen in Theo's gala party. In "The Son of Gotham", after Theo Galavan is arrested, Dent prosecutes him for kidnapping Mayor Aubrey James (Richard Kind), but his trial strategy is sandbagged when James, fearing Galavan's retribution, perjures himself and testifies that Oswald Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor), not Galavan, kidnapped him. In "Mr. Freeze", Dent, along with Barnes, questions Detective Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) about his role in Galavan's death. In "Prisoners", when Gordon has been framed for murder of police officer Carl Pinkney and sentenced to Blackgate Penitentiary, his partner Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue) tries to persuade Dent to reopen Gordon's trial or at least transfer him to another facility, to no avail. This version of Dent never becomes Two-Face during the events of the series.^[7]
• Two-Face makes a cameo appearance in Titans, portrayed by an unknown stunt double. In the first season finale, titled "Dick Grayson", the eponymous character is placed in a dream world created by Trigon, where Batman has gone on a killing spree, taking out his greatest enemies one by one; Two-Face is among them since his dead body can be seen holding his coin inside his cell at Arkham Asylum.^[8] In the season 3 episode "Lazarus", Two-Face is mentioned by Jason for murdering his father and his coin is shown in Batman's trophy room in the Batcave.
• Dent is mentioned in the Batwoman episode "Grinning From Ear to Ear" as the uncle of Duela Dent, with her father unknown.
  • Prior to this, in The Flash episode "Finish Line", Cisco Ramon referred to Savitar (a disfigured time remnant of Barry Allen from the future) as 'Two-Face', but this could just be a straightforward comment based on the nature of Savitar's facial scars rather than a direct reference to the criminal in question.

Animation[]

• The Harvey Dent version of Two-Face made many appearances in the DC Animated Universe, voiced by Richard Moll.
  

  Harvey Dent / Two-Face, as depicted in the DC Animated Universe.
  • Initially, Batman: The Animated Series depicted Harvey Dent as not only Gotham City's preeminent District Attorney, but also a best friend to Bruce Wayne (whose alter-ego he remained blithely unaware of). At one point, he dated botanist Dr. Pamela Isley, though she attempted to kill him with a poisonous kiss as supervillainess Poison Ivy over causing a near-extinction of a floral species when building Blackgate Penitentiary. Though leading a prestigious life and happy engagement to fellow attorney Grace Lamont, he nevertheless began to succumb to his dissociative identity disorder (supposedly stemming from lifelong repression of anger after a childhood bullying incident) during the stress of his reelection campaign. This was exacerbated by crime boss Rupert Thorne, who stole his therapy records to use as blackmail material; under Thorne's taunts, Dent gave in to his alternate personality Big Bad Harv, who savagely attacked Thorne's gang. A shootout ensued, and though Batman arrived in time to help Dent, his efforts inadvertently triggered an explosion that severely scarred the left half of Dent's face and body. Subsequently, Dent (and his alternate personality) abandoned any hope of a "normal" life, and began waging a vendetta against Thorne as the coin-flipping criminal Two-Face. Thorne later tricks Grace into luring Two-Face out and holds both at gunpoint. Two-Face overpowers Thorne and attempts to kill the mobster, but Batman stops Two-Face and sends him to Arkham Asylum. Two-Face is depicted as a crime boss and supervillain in his own right for subsequent episodes. In the episode "The Strange Secret of Bruce Wayne", Two-Face has a fierce bidding war with the Joker and the Penguin regarding Batman's secret identity at Hugo Strange's auction. Two-Face is later shown alongside Poison Ivy, the Penguin, Killer Croc and the Joker in the episode "Almost Got 'Im", during a poker game where each villain brings up a respective encounter with the Dark Knight. In Two-Face's story, he tied Batman on top of a giant coin. When flipped, it would either crush Batman or break all of the Dark Knight's bones. But Batman secretly stole his trademark coin and use the jagged edge to cut through the ropes, capturing Two-Face and his gang. When Poison Ivy asked him what happened to it, he said that "they let him keep [the coin]". In the two-part episode "Shadow of the Bat", Two-Face manipulates Gil Mason into infiltrating Gotham's justice system as the new Deputy Police Commissioner. Mason's high level of practical abilities earned Commissioner Gordon's trust, and the two eventually arrest Thorne. Although Two-Face and Mason frame Gordon for working with Thorne, they are eventually exposed by Batman, Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon. In "Trial", Two-Face acts as the 'prosecutor' when Batman's rogues gallery hold the Dark Knight prisoner at Arkham Asylum in a kangaroo court. In "Second Chance", Dent undergoes cosmetic surgery to destroy Two-Face's personality permanently. But before he can go through with the operation, he is kidnapped by thugs under Two-Face's orders in an attempt to remain in control of Dent's psyche. Eventually, Batman and Robin recapture Two-Face and is later grateful to Bruce as he's returned to Arkham.
  • Two-Face returns in The New Batman Adventures. In the episode "Sins of the Father", Two-Face is indirectly responsible for Tim Drake's transformation into Robin. He had Shifty Drake on the run and led to his ex-henchman's death, motivating Robin to join forces with Batman and Batgirl in order to bring Two-Face to justice. The episode "Judgement Day" reveals that Harvey Dent's psyche fragments again in the form of the Judge (voiced by Malachi Throne), a court-themed vigilante who apprehends criminals by using extreme measures. Interestingly neither Two-Face nor Dent are aware of the Judge's existence within their shared mind, and the Judge is unaware that he is Two-Face, and attempts to murder Two-Face several times. Two-Face also tries to hunt down the Judge, deciding to kill a corrupt city councilman who supported the Judge to send a message. The Judge is defeated by Batman, and the final scene of the episode shows the Judge putting the Two-Face personality on trial.
  • Although Two-Face does not appear in Batman Beyond, an android replica is seen in the episode "Terry's Friend Dates a Robot" and is also mentioned in the episode "Betrayal". When asked about his fate, show creator Paul Dini stated that his character was cured and returned to his career in politics, moving to Los Angeles and working as a lawyer for a major motion picture studio, doing very well at that job.^[9]
  • Two-Face briefly appears in the Justice League animated series. In the episode "A Better World", an alternate reality version makes a cameo appearance as a lobotomized janitor in the Justice Lords' dimension.
• The Harvey Dent iteration of Two-Face appears in Batman: The Brave and the Bold, voiced by James Remar (in "The Fate of Equinox!" and in "The Mask of Matches Malone!") and by Richard Moll (in "Chill of the Night!"). He first appears in "Legends of the Dark Mite!" as part of Bat-Mite's fantasy. In the teaser of "The Fate of Equinox!", Two-Face is taken down by Batman. He makes a cameo in "Mayhem of the Music Meister!" singing with the other villains at Arkham Asylum. In "Sidekicks Assemble!", he is one of the villains Robin, Speedy and Aqualad face off against during a simulation in the Batcave. In "Chill of the Night!", Two-Face is one of the villains bidding for a supersonic weapon held by arms dealer Joe Chill. He joins the villains in attacking Chill when they learn that he was indirectly responsible for Batman's creation, before escaping the scene. He also appears in "The Mask of Matches Malone!", where Two-Face is pursued by Huntress, Black Canary and Catwoman. This incarnation, because of the Golden and Silver Age inspirations of the show, is depicted with green scars.
• Paul Sloane appears in the Young Justice cartoon series, voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson. He appears in the episode "Image", as one of the actors on the fictional sitcom Hello Megan, of which Miss Martian is a fan of. In the episode "Nightmare Monkeys". Paul Sloane once worked with Garfield Logan on Space Trek 3016 as Gretchen Goode praised their performance.
• Harvey Dent appears in Beware the Batman, voiced by Christopher McDonald. He serves as Gotham's District Attorney, and takes a stand against vigilantes like Batman and Katana to help his campaign as Mayor unlike in the comics where he is an ally to Batman, his friendship with Bruce Wayne, seen in previous media, is however intact. Desperate, he secretly begins working with the supervillain Anarky to bring Batman down, and they later hire the mercenary Deathstroke to kill the Dark Knight. Deathstroke uses Dent as bait to lure Batman, but his attempt on the Caped Crusader's life is unsuccessful. Later, Dent intervenes another battle between Batman and Deathstroke (dressed as Batman) in the Gotham Armory. The altercation causes a massive explosion, in which Dent's face is scarred. Now wrapped in bandages, Dent attacks Batman and even Anarky, who mockingly dubs him "Two-Face". His sanity unraveled and his career ruined, Dent declares that he has "plans" for Gotham as he unwraps his bandages denying the viewers the chance to see what the scarred side looks like as he walks off into the night.
• The Harvey Dent iteration of Two-Face makes a cameo appearance in the Teen Titans Go! animated series.
• The Harvey Dent iteration of Two-Face appears in Justice League Action, voiced by Robert Picardo. This incarnation has developed a second personality, which causes Two-Face to have an argument with himself. In the episode "Double Cross", the Penguin had hired Deadshot to take out Two-Face. As part of Batman and Firestorm's plan to apprehend Deadshot, Batman has Plastic Man pose as Two-Face after apprehending him. During this plot, the real Two-Face escapes from Firestorm's custody. Both Two-Face and Deadshot are defeated by Batman, Firestorm, and Plastic Man. This incarnation, like his DC Animated Universe incarnation, is depicted with blue scars.
• The Harvey Dent iteration of Two-Face appears in Harley Quinn, voiced by Andy Daly. Introduced in the episode "A High Bar", this version is depicted as not having a split personality and being blind in one eye. He makes one speaking and two non-speaking appearances in season one, one of which establishes him as a member of the Legion of Doom. In the season two premiere, "New Gotham", Two-Face has formed the Injustice League alongside Penguin, Bane, Riddler, and Mr. Freeze to take advantage of the chaos the Joker caused when he destroyed Gotham. The villains have divided the city's ruins between them, but refuse to give Harley Quinn an equal share, leading her to attempt to dismantle the League. In "Batman's Back Man", following Harley defeating most of the League, Two-Face and Bane attempt to consolidate their remaining power, though the former refuses to see the latter as an equal partner. After Bane almost kills him in an outburst, Two-Face gives him a pit to make him feel better. In "All the Best Inmates Have Daddy Issues", Harvey Dent is seen in a flashback, in which he led an operation to find and disarm a bomb hidden by the Joker as part of a mayoral campaign. This Dent is shown to care only about gaining power even before the scarring, caring only bout the bomb affecting his chances in the election, and willing to have a non-transformed Dr Quinzel shot in a chance to take down the Joker. At the end of the episode, Two-Face "arrests" Harley and Poison Ivy before putting them on trial on a kangaroo court and sending them to a prison run by Bane in the following episode, "There's No Place to Go But Down". He is later defeated and incarcerated by Commissioner James Gordon. In the season two finale, "The Runaway Bridesmaid", Two-Face is imprisoned at Arkham, but manipulates Gordon into busting Kite Man and Ivy's wedding. He later informs an imprisoned Harley about this and briefly teams up with her to escape from Arkham.

Live-action[]

Batman[]

Billy Dee Williams as Harvey Dent in Batman (1989).

Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face in Batman Forever (1995), with Sugar (Drew Barrymore) on the left and Spice (Debi Mazar) on the right.

• A pre-disfigured version of Harvey Dent appears in Tim Burton's 1989 film Batman, portrayed by Billy Dee Williams. As the newly elected district attorney of Gotham, Dent vows to lock up mob boss Carl Grissom (Jack Palance). In 2021, DC released a digital-first comic series called Batman '89 which serves as a continuation of the two Tim Burton films. The comic's synopsis advertised that it picks up several plot threads left dangling by the director, including the introduction of Billy Dee Williams' Two-Face.^[10]
• Tommy Lee Jones portrays Harvey Dent/Two-Face in the 1995 film Batman Forever, replacing Billy Dee Williams from Batman. His origin story is the same as in the comics, where the district attorney is disfigured when gangster Sal Maroni throws acid on the left side of his face during a trial. He is driven insane to the point of referring to himself in the plural and swears revenge against Batman (Val Kilmer) for failing to save him. He is portrayed as having two molls for each side of his personality - the angelic Sugar (Drew Barrymore) for his "good" side, and the tempestuous "Spice" (Debi Mazar) for his "bad" side. He and his men attack Haly's Circus and murder Dick Grayson's (Chris O'Donnell) family; he is thus indirectly responsible for the youth's transformation into Robin. Two-Face later teams up with the Riddler (Jim Carrey) and learns Batman's secret identity. Two-Face captures Robin and Batman's love interest Dr. Chase Meridian (Nicole Kidman), and holds them hostage at the Riddler's lair. During the movie's climax, when Two-Face flips his coin, Batman throws a handful of coins into the air. Two-Face then panics and scrambles to find his coin but loses his footing, and subsequently fall. However, director Joel Schumacher reveals in the DVD commentary that Two-Face apparently survives the fall.
• In Batman & Robin, Two-Face's costume is seen in Arkham Asylum alongside Riddler's hat.

The Dark Knight Trilogy[]

• Harvey Dent was planned to appear in the early scripts of Batman Begins, but was finally cut and replaced by the original character Rachel Dawes (Katie Holmes). According to writer David S. Goyer, the main reason for which Dent was written out from the film was because they realized they "couldn't do him justice".^[11]

Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent in a promotional poster for The Dark Knight (2008).

• Aaron Eckhart portrays Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight. In the film, he is depicted as a tragic hero, lacking the gimmickry and dissociative identity disorder commonly associated with the character. At the film's beginning, Dent is Gotham City's new District Attorney and forms a tenuous alliance with Batman (Christian Bale) and Lieutenant James Gordon (Gary Oldman) in order to take down Gotham's organized crime. Corrupt police officers working for mob boss Sal Maroni (Eric Roberts) and the Joker (Heath Ledger) kidnap Dent and his girlfriend Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal), and hold them prisoner in two abandoned buildings set to explode. When the buildings explode, the left half of Dent's face catches fire, leaving him disfigured, while Rachel is killed. The Joker visits Dent while he's recovering at Gotham General Hospital, and persuades him to exact revenge against those he believes are responsible for Rachel's death. He decides his victims' fates with his two-headed Peace dollar that was scarred on one side during the explosion that disfigured him. Dent spares The Joker, shoots and kills one of the traitorous cops who betrayed him and Rachel to the mob, and soon kills Maroni as well. In the film's climax, Dent kidnaps Gordon's family and holds them hostage at the site of Rachel's death, intent on punishing Gordon, whom he blames for failing to protect Rachel. He decides to kill Gordon's son (Nathan Gamble) to inflict upon Gordon the pain of losing a loved one, but Batman arrives and persuades Dent to judge the three people who pressured the Mafia to turn to the Joker for assistance: Batman, Gordon and himself. Dent does so by flipping his coin: he shoots Batman and spares himself. Dent still intends to kill Gordon's son, but Batman (who was wearing body armor) tackles him off the ledge to his death before he can kill the boy. Batman takes the blame for Dent's crimes to ensure that their fallen ally is remembered as a hero.
• Dent's legacy plays an important role in The Dark Knight Rises. Set eight years later, the film reveals that the "Dent Act" legislation has all but eradicated Gotham's organized crime. Plagued with guilt, Commissioner James Gordon considers publicly revealing the truth about Two-Face's killing spree but decides that Gotham isn't ready.^[12] Gordon's decision backfires when Bane (Tom Hardy) acquires Gordon's speech regarding the cover-up of Two-Face's crimes and reads it on live television to undermine confidence in the legal system and throw Gotham's social order into chaos. Following Batman's sacrifice and the League of Shadows' defeat, Batman was honored as Gotham's true savior while the Dent act was eliminated and Dent's legacy was tarnished due to the revelation of his corruption.

During a Children of Arkham attack on the Mayoral debate, Dent is drugged with a psychoactive agent and, if Batman doesn't intervene, disfigured by one of its members. After Hill is murdered, Harvey is sworn in as the new Mayor but begins to show signs of a more aggressive split personality, "Two-Face", which takes control after he catches Bruce in Selina's apartment. Harvey, under Two-Face's influence, takes control of the city through martial law and begins terrorizing its citizens as he tries to defeat the Children of Arkham. He is eventually defeated either by Batman as he tries to seize Wayne Manor or Bruce during a hostage situation. Unlike the comics, Harvey becomes Two-Face regardless if he is disfigured or not.
  • During the second season, Batman: The Enemy Within, Two-Face's campaign poster and (depending on the player's decision in the first game) his lucky coin or the mask he wore over the scarred parts of his face are kept in a display in the Batcave. Additionally, the Gotham Media feed reveals that Harvey's trial has been continuously delayed as each set of attorneys refused to defend him, leading Dent to opt to defend himself in court.

Other games[]

• A pre-disfigured version of Harvey Dent appears in the video game version of Batman: The Animated Series as a hostage of Poison Ivy.

After he is defeated, Batman states that there is still hope for Two-Face to reform, and the former D.A. responds by declaring that he will escape from Arkham.
• The Harvey Dent version of Two-Face appears in DC Universe Online, voiced by Edwin Neal. If the player uses a Hero character, Two-Face will contact him or her when the player reaches level 30, apparently with Harvey Dent being in control. Two-Face will ask the player to help him uncover the Penguin´s smuggling operations in the Old Gotham Subway and will guide the player through the instance. When the player defeats Penguin, Two-Face shows up, his evil side being in control. Two-Face mocks Penguin and announces he is taking over Penguin's business. As it turns out, the Hero character has accidentally helped Two-Face take out his rival. The same process will follow if the player is using a Villain character, but Two-Face's evil side will always be in control in this case. Two-Face is later one of the two bosses to defeat in the duo instance Gotham Mercy Hospital, available only for villains (the other boss being Mr. Freeze). Players can also use Two-Face as one of many playable characters in PVP Legends matches.
• A poster of Two-Face is found in the Amusement Mile in Gotham City Impostors.

Parodies[]

• During the Batman Sunday comic strips that ran from 1943 to 1946, Two-Face's origin story is somewhat altered. He is introduced as an actor named Harvey Apollo, who is testifying at the trial of criminal Lucky Sheldon, and he is killed at the end of the story arc. His origin is again altered in the Batman daily strips published from 1989 to 1991. In this version, Harvey Dent is scarred by a vial of acid thrown by an unnamed bystander, which was intended for the Joker.

In popular culture[]

• In the episode "The Strike" of the NBC sitcom Seinfeld, Jerry dates a woman who appears attractive in some settings and ugly in others, whom George nicknames "Two-Face". Jerry asks George: "Like the Batman villain?", and an annoyed George responds: "If that helps you".^{[citation needed]}
• The Harvey Dent iteration of Two-Face appears in Robot Chicken, voiced by Neil Patrick Harris (in "The Ramblings of Maurice") and Giovanni Ribisi (in the DC segments). In the episode "The Ramblings of Maurice", he repeatedly injures his face, resulting in him renaming himself Three-Face, Four-Face, and so on. In the Robot Chicken DC Comics Special, Two-Face appears in the opening where he and Composite Santa get tailored suits together. He next appears in a segment where he uses his coin to determine his bathroom choices. In the final segment where the superheroes and supervillains battle at Aquaman's surprise birthday party, Two-Face flips a coin that lands on the unscarred side, so he knocks himself out. In the sequel, Two-Face bothers Lena Luthor at a coffee shop, as he constantly flips his coin to determine which coffee to order. In the third special, he fights his The Dark Knight film counterpart, and they take turns punching each other based on how the coin lands.
• In animated comedy show The Venture Bros., there's a villain called Radical Left whose appearance and behaviour has strong inspiration from Two-Face.
• In Bat Thumb, Two-Face (renamed "No Face" because he has no face) plans to erase everyone's face in "Gaaathumb City" and marry "Vicki Nail".
