Two Face - Blog Posts
"He's sometimes Bruce Wayne sometimes Batman. Alltimes orphan."
Now that's something to say at a job interview!
"No! It's Two-Face and One-Face."
He's not wrong though.
"Alfred, give birth to Robin."
The loyalty of this man knows no bounds.
"It contains a coupon for new parents, but it is expired. This is a Joker joke."
Ultimate power move right there.

The Brainz
These villains are far smarter than they are strong, though that doesn't mean that they can't put up a good fight.
Batman: My Own Worst Enemy - Cast
Batman is contacted by Harvey Dent, saying that he knows about a cure for his evil personality, a chemical compound that could hopefully fix Harvey’s mental state and end Two Face forever. Unfortunately, the compound is five states away, and Batman has no way of taking Harvey along without Two Face interfering. So Batman kidnaps Two Face and hauls him across the country until they get to the cure. The main downside is that Two Face has set up some roadblocks, as he has promised a large cash prize to anyone who stops Batman from making him go away. So now Batman and Robin need to protect Harvey as they’re chased across the country by all manner of money hungry supervillains and desperate civilians.
Look’s like Harvey Dent got a new job after he get rid of Two-Face.
Task Force Z #3
Batman: Legends Of The Dark Knight
MANY HAPPY RETURNS: We find out through flashbacks that The Joker has a habit of attacking Gotham City every month, as a way of giving Batman a birthday present. Then one month, Joker doesn’t attack, which sends Batman and the GCPD into a paranoid frenzy. They even evacuate the entire city, and Batman searches through every nook and cranny of Gotham. When the present is finally revealed, it's nothing more than The Joker himself standing in the middle of Gotham Square. After Batman beats the crap out of him, Joker says that the present is him knowing that they'll be doing this deadly duel forever.
THE BEAUTIFUL UGLY: Two-Face kidnaps a seemingly innocent man named Aidan Bennet, and holds him hostage in an abandoned courthouse. It’s revealed that Aidan was the prime suspect in Harvey Dent’s first case as D.A., that being a museum robbery gone wrong that involved the death of a security guard. Aidan was released on a technicality, but Harvey knows that he commited the crime, and now it’s time for judgment.
SOLITAIRE: Having escaped Arkham Asylum, The Riddler steps out into Gotham City and breaks into Wayne Tower. As the story goes on, we find out that Riddler was abused by a guard in Arkham Asylum who would never let him have any enjoyment, and the guard has been hired as Wayne Tower’s chief of security. We watch as Riddler easily bypasses security, uploads a computer virus into the mainframe, and even blows up walls, and all without losing his composure. The best way to describe Riddler through most of the story is Calm and Always In Control.
STUDY HALL: Tired of constantly battling the Batman and losing, Jonathan Crane decides to call it quits. He thus sneaks out of Arkham Asylum and flees the city. He then forges his own teaching credentials, creating a false identity. With these, Crane gets himself a job at an upstate college, living the quiet life of a psychology professor. He even begins a friendship with a book smart student named Molly Randall. But it all comes crashing down when Molly is beaten and possibly raped by her boyfriend, Bromley. Enraged, Dr. Crane dons his old Scarecrow costumes and whips out the old, reliable fear toxin. Bromley is about to get a visit from The Scarecrow, and may God have mercy on his soul.
Harleen - Cast
Harleen Quinzel is an ambitious psychologist who's had a rather checkered past, due to her sleeping with one of her college professors. During her research of sociopaths, she develops a theory that could potentially be the key to understanding and curing people who're potential sociopaths in the making. Seeing potential in her research, Wayne Enterprises decides to fund her research, and grants her the ability to continue her research at Arkham Asylum, home to Gotham's most insane and mentally complex villains. During her time at Arkham, she's continually having nightmares about the Joker, due to her having previously met him during one of his fights with Batman. However, she simply can't stay away from him, and the two begin to fall in love. But which way is the love flowing?
Two Face: I Believe In Harvey Dent - Cast
After a huge gang war between Two-Face and Black Mask, the latter resorts to a vile move to gain power over Harvey Dent. Black Mask kidnaps Harvey’s ex-wife Gilda Dent, threatening to kill her unless Harvey gives over his criminal empire. Desperate and out of options, Harvey/Two-Face contacts Batman and asks him to help them rescue Gilda from Black Mask. Along their perilous adventure, Black Mask sicks multiple mercenaries on them, from KGBeast to Deadshot, even the Tally Man. The Tally Man plays a very large part in the story, acting as Black Mask’s right-hand man. He wants revenge on Two-Face, as Harvey tried to kill him during No Man’s land. Will Two-Face and Batman stop Black Mask and save Gilda, or is Gilda doomed?
Arkham Asylum: Kingdom Of Madness - Two Face
After the inmates are freed from their cells and start a riot in Arkham Asylum, Batman has to journey in and resolve the chaos. To take back the asylum and save the guards and doctors taken hostage, Batman has to fight off a lot of his villains. He has to fight Poison Ivy in the Greenhouse, Scarecrow in the Medical Wing, Mad hatter in the Cafeteria, Two-Face in the Security Wing, and The Joker in the Movie Theater, where Joker dresses in drag and sings "I'm A Sweet Transvestite" from Rocky Horror Picture Show. However, it's revealed that the person who set the inmates free is none other than the head doctor, Hugo Strange. Hugo is revealed to be a complete nut case who's obsessed with Batman, and his plan was to see how he's able to defeat his rogues gallery. Revealing he's figured out who Batman is, his ultimate goal is to replace Batman, planning on trapping him inside Arkham Asylum. He'd then taking up the mantle of Batman, thinking that he'd be a better Batman than Bruce ever was.
In this story, Two-Face takes over the security systems of Arkham Asylum, and dons the attire of an Arkham security guard. Later on while fighting Batman, Harvey accidentally gets half of his suit fried by one of the taser walls, giving him his true Two-Face look.

I am. So fucking tired of Batman being portrayed as a bad parent and a toxic person. And it’s so goddamn widespread. Fuck, it might be as bad as the whole “Superman being a kindhearted Boy Scout is boring” take.
I get it, the man’s not exactly stable, he watched his parents get murdered in front of him and spent years of his life training to fight crime dressed like a giant scary bat, of course he’s not perfect.
But to say that Bruce Wayne isn’t caring, isn’t empathetic, to call him abusive…it just misses the point of who the character is to me.
Why do you think he fights crime? Yes, part of it is because he’s bitter and sad because his parents were cruelly ripped from him as a child, and he’s lashing out against the corruption of his city. It’s arguably the focus of his earlier years. But he learns to become more than that. He learns to bring hope, a chance to be better.
Harleen Quinzel is the Joker’s right hand lady, but she’s also a victim of an abusive relationship and a woman with a surprisingly strong moral compass and a love for animals, and wants to get better.
Harvey Dent is a man who will decide someone’s fate on a coin toss(and a pretty inaccurate depiction of DID), but he’s also Bruce’s close friend who clearly needs help learning to live with his condition, rather than try to get rid of it, and someone who he still goes out of his way to visit, even after everything.
Victor Fries is a cold, emotionless man who will callously discard allies and blame them for being careless, but he’s also a man who’s either lashing out because he had the love of his life taken from him, or just desperate to make sure she isn’t taken from him, and is willing to do anything just to guarantee her survival.
Even the Joker, arguably one of the most morally bankrupt characters in all of fiction, is someone that Batman has offered a chance to. After the guy shoots the daughter of his friend, a girl he cared for like she was his own kid, and paralyzes her from the waist down, he tells the Joker that he doesn’t want to hurt him. He wants to get him help. He looks at this monster who has taken countless lives and says “You don’t have to be alone.”
For fuck’s sake, he sat with Joe Chill in his last moments so that he wouldn’t be alone. Joe Chill, the man who murdered his parents, who took so much from him, the person responsible for all of the misery and suffering he’s gone through. And he sits with the man to comfort him while dies.
And you’re gonna tell me the man who did that would abuse his kids?
That he’d hold up the young man whose death was his greatest failure, the boy he grieved, and say this?
That he’d look his goddamn son in the eyes and say this to him?
Why the FUCK do you think he took in Dick Grayson in the first place? It wasn’t because he saw the kid and thought “Ah. A potential soldier.”, it was because he saw a boy experiencing the same heartbreaking loss he had so many years ago, and wanted to make sure he didn’t end up as bitter and miserable as he was.
Why do you think he smiled when Tim Drake presented him a broken watch for Father’s Day? Because he was just happy to see the boy alive and safe.
DAMIAN LITERALLY POINTED AT A COW AND SAID “I’m keeping her. She’s Bat-Cow.” AND BRUCE JUST WENT WITH IT. DIDN’T EVEN NEED TO ARGUE WHY BRUCE SHOULD LET HIM KEEP HER. HE SAID “this cow is my pet now” AND BRUCE SAID “alright, bet”.
The thing about Batman is that he wants to make sure nobody else ends up feeling the way he does. That’s not just about stopping a mugger so a boy’s parents aren’t gunned down. It’s about giving his loved ones the support and care that he couldn’t have, because it was taken from him. It’s about comforting someone who just went through a traumatic experience and letting them know that they’re going to be okay. It’s about going to someone locked away in a cell who thinks that they’re a lost cause and a burden to society and telling them that he wants to help them get better. It’s about EMPATHY.
That’s what makes him a HERO. He’s meant to inspire us, to show us that we can have that same empathy for others around us, that we can turn our suffering into hope for a better future.
I just wish more people at DC would start recognizing that. But I might as well follow that example myself. Maybe through this struggle of having to see this hero mistreat the people around him and act like a grade-A jackass, people will start to recognize that missing empathy, and slowly but surely, it might come back. After all, what is this post, if not trying to bring attention to the matter in the hopes of fixing it?

Even if DC does not care about Gilda Dent anymore, I still haven’t moved on from her, so here is a doodle I did a couple days ago of my favorite minor supporting character everrr
(Partially inspired by “Bust” by my favorite two-face blog @about-faces ^_^)
Nervous for that next issue of The Last Halloween… if anything happens to her I might explode
Happy Holiday Season！
