Two Faces (character)

Dos Caras (Harvey Dent) (English: Two-Face or 2-Face) is a fictional supervillain appearing in comic books published by DC Comics, commonly as an adversary to the superhero Batman. The character was created by the late Bob Kane and Bill Finger and first appeared in Detective Comics #66 (August 1942). As one of Batman's most enduring foes, Two-Face belongs to the collective of adversaries that make up Batman's rogues gallery.

Once a prominent Gotham City district attorney, Harvey Dent is horribly scarred on the left side of his face after mob boss Sal Maroni throws acidic chemicals at him during a court trial. Subsequently, he goes crazy and adopts the personality of & # 34; Dos Caras & # 34;, becoming a criminal obsessed with duality and the conflict between good and evil. In recent years, writers have portrayed Two-Face's obsession with chance and fate as a result of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and dissociative identity disorder. He obsessively makes all the important decisions by flipping his old lucky charm, a two-headed coin that was also damaged on one side by acid. The modern version is established as once having been a personal friend and ally of James Gordon and Batman.

The character has been featured in various media adaptations, including movies, TV series, and video games. Richard Moll has voiced Two-Face in the DC animated universe, Troy Baker in the series Batman: Arkham, Billy Dee Williams in The Lego Batman Movie and William Shatner in Batman vs. Two-Face. His live performances include Billy Dee Williams in Batman (as only Harvey Dent), Tommy Lee Jones in Batman Forever, Aaron Eckhart in The Dark Knight i>, and Nicholas D'Agosto in the television series Gotham. In 2009, Two-Face was ranked number 12 on IGN's list of the 100 Greatest Comic Book Villains of All Time. With his cold personality he becomes one of Batman's most evil villains, his famous phrase is "you die a hero, or you live long enough to become a villain".

Publication history

Two-Face first appears in Detective Comics #66 under the name Harvey "Apollo" Kent ;later stories changed her name to "Harvey Dent"; to avoid an association with Superman (Clark Kent).

The character only made three appearances in the 1940s and appeared twice in the 1950s (not counting the impostors mentioned below). At that time, he was abandoned in favor of more " suitable for children', although he appeared in a 1968 issue (World's Finest Comics # 173), in which Batman declared him the criminal he fears most. In 1971, writer Dennis O'Neil brought back Two-Face, and it was then that he became one of Batman's archenemies.

In his autobiography, Batman creator Bob Kane claims to have been inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, specifically the 1931 film version he saw of child. He was also somewhat inspired by the Pulp magazine character Black Bat, whose origin story included having his face splashed with acid.

Following Frank Miller's 1986 revision of Batman's origin (see Batman: Year One), Andrew Helfer rewrote Two-Face's history to match. in Batman Annual (vol. 1) #14, it served to emphasize Dent's status as a tragic character, with a backstory that included an abusive and alcoholic father, and early struggles with bipolar disorder and paranoia. It was also established, in Batman: Year One, that the pre-accident Harvey Dent was one of Batman's early allies. He had clear ties to both Batman and Commissioner Gordon, making him a disturbing and personal enemy to both men.

Biography of fictional character

Pre-Crisis

The Pre-Crisis version of Two-Face is Harvey Dent, the handsome young District Attorney of Gotham City. A mobster throws acid in her face during a trial, scarring half of her face. Driven mad by his reflection, he renames himself Two-Face and embarks on a crime spree, deciding with a toss of his lucky coin whether to break the law or perform acts of charity. Batman and Robin eventually capture him, and is rehabilitated thanks to plastic surgery. Later stories, however, describe him as returning to crime after being disfigured again.

Les Daniels wrote that the first Two-Face was "the deadliest of Batman's enemies". He added: "Two-Face seemed to annoy even his creators, who cured him by plastic surgery at the end of his third appearance in 1943."

Post-Crisis

Post-Crisis version of Harvey Dent is described as having an unhappy childhood; growing up with his father, who is mentally ill, who beats him regularly, and often decides whether or not to brutalize his son based on a lucky coin toss from him. The abuse instills in Dent his lifelong struggle with free will and his eventual inability to make decisions for himself, relying on the coin to make all of his decisions. Dent is diagnosed with bipolar disorder and paranoid schizophrenia at a young age, but manages to hide his illnesses and, thanks to an unwavering work ethic, rises through the ranks of the Gotham City district attorney's office until, at age 26, becomes the youngest district attorney in the city's history. Gordon even suspected that Dent might be Batman, but he dismissed this suspicion when he realized that he lacked Batman's financial resources.

Dent forges an alliance with Police Captain James Gordon and Batman to rid Gotham of organized crime. Mob boss Carmine Falcone bribes corrupt assistant prosecutor Vernon Fields into supplying sulfuric acid to his lieutenant Sal Maroni, whom Dent is prosecuting for murder; Maroni throws acid in Dent's face during an interrogation, leaving hideous scars on the left side of Dent's face. Dent escapes from the hospital and reinvents himself as the gangster Two-Face. He scars one side of his father's coin and uses it to decide if he commits a crime. Two-Face eventually gets his revenge on Fields and Maroni, but is captured by Batman, leading to his incarceration in Arkham Asylum.

During the Batman: Dark Victory story arc, the serial killer Hangman targets several police officers who aided in Harvey Dent's promotion to the prosecutor's office.

Batman later admits that even if Two-Face survived, Harvey is gone forever.

During a much later period, Two-Face is revealed to have murdered the father of Batman's ward Jason Todd. Attempting to stop Two-Face, Jason briefly has the criminal at his mercy, but leaves Two-Face's punishment to be decided by law.Two-Face similarly serves as a "baptism of fire." & # 39; for Tim Drake. When Two-Face has Batman at his mercy, Tim dons the Robin suit to save Batman.

In Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth, Arkham's doctors replace Dent's coin with a dice and eventually a tarot deck; but instead of becoming self-sufficient, Dent is now unable to make even the smallest of decisions, like going to the bathroom. Batman returns the coin and tells Two-Face to use it to decide if he kills him. Batman leaves safely, but it's heavily implied that Two-Face, for the first time in his life, made his own decision to let Batman live.

In the No Man's Land story, in which Gotham is devastated by an earthquake, Two-Face reclaims a part of the ruined city, takes up residence in Gotham City Hall Gotham and forms a temporary alliance with Gordon to share some territory.

Two-Face kidnaps Gordon and puts him on trial for his activities after Gotham City is declared a "No Man's Land", with Two-Face as judge and prosecutor for Gordon's illegal alliance with him; but Gordon plays into Two-Face's divided psyche to demand Harvey Dent as his defense attorney in Gordon's acquittal, determining that Two-Face has indeed blackmailed Gordon by implying that he had committed murder to help the Commissioner.

In Gotham Central, Two-Face meets Detective Renée Montoya. Montoya comes to the character of Dent in Two-Face and is nice to him. He falls in love with her, though the romance is one-sided. Eventually, in the series Gotham Central, he outs her as a lesbian and frames her for murder, hoping that if he takes everything from her, she You will have no choice but to be with him.

At the end of the book, the personalities of Dent and Two-Face argue in their thoughts, Two-Face calling Dent "spineless." Dent proves Two-Face wrong, choosing to jump off a building and kill himself just to stop his alter ego's crime spree. Two-Face is surprised when the coin toss lands, but he complies with the decision and jumps. Batman catches him, but the impact of the fall seems to destroy (at least temporarily) the Two-Face aspect of his psyche.

Following Batman's return, Dent begins to feel unneeded and unappreciated, prompting the return of the "Two-Face" (seen and heard by Dent through hallucinations). In Face the Face, his frustration is compounded by a series of mysterious murders that appear to have been committed by Two-Face; the villains KGBeast, the Magpie, the Ventriloquist and Scarface, and Orca are all shot twice in the head with a double barreled pistol. When Batman confronts Dent about these deaths and asks him to confirm that he is not responsible, Dent refuses to give a definitive answer. He then detonates a bomb in his apartment, leaving Batman in a daze as he flees.

Despite escaping the blast physically unharmed, Dent suffers a crisis of conscience and a mental battle with his 'Two-Face' persona. Although Batman later discovers evidence that exonerates Dent for the murders, establishing that he was framed as revenge for his efforts against new crime boss Warren White, aka the Great White Shark, it is too late to save him.

The New 52

Harvey Dent is a successful defense attorney whose clientele includes twin sisters from the McKillen crime family, Shannon and Erin. The sisters force Dent to become the legal lifetime retainer of the family for him. They then place a contract with James Gordon and all of his family, despite Dent's protests. The Gordons survive the attempt on their lives, but Dent, trapped by attorney-client confidentiality, can't dissuade the McKillens from continuing his deadly revenge. The violent attempt on the Gordons' lives leads Bruce Wayne to use his resources to start and finance Dent's campaign for district attorney.
