Batman has one of the most recognizable rogues’ galleries in all of comics, and one of the most prominent of its members is Harvey Dent, better known as Two-Face. A former district attorney who clandestinely worked with Batman in his early years, Dent’s descent into madness began when the left side of his face was horribly disfigured by an acid attack. Turning to a life of crime, Dent developed a split persona that necessitated him using a scarred, double-headed coin to make decisions. But these are things every fan knows. Here are 10 Facts Only True Fans Know About Two-Face.

10 HE KILLED JASON TODD'S FATHER

When Batman first met Jason Todd in the post-Crisis DC Universe, he was boosting the tires off the Batmobile. Recognizing the potential in the boy, Bruce Wayne took him in and trained him to be the second Robin. Jason proved to be a bit of a handful, no doubt the result of a traumatic upbringing that saw both his parents murdered by criminals.

It was later revealed that the boy's father was murdered by none other than Two-Face, as the consequence of a deal gone wrong. Rather than kill him in revenge, Todd opted to let the law deal with Two-Face, to Batman's relief.

9 HE HAD A DAUGHTER

Joker's Daughter Harlequin Duela Dent

It's common knowledge that Harvey Dent was married, but not many knew that he had a daughter. In pre-Crisis continuity, Duela Dent first claimed to be the daughter of another well-know Bat-villain, The Joker, but eventually the dynamic duo deduced Duala Dent's true father was Harvey. Wanting to atone for the crimes of her father, Duela donned a costume and became Harlequin, vying for a spot on the Teen Titans and fighting evil-doers wherever she could.

8 THERE'S TWO TWO-FACES

Fans may be surprised to learn that Harvey Dent isn't only criminal to go by the name of Two-Face. An accident on the set of a film about the villain caused actor Paul Sloane to receive the very same scars on his face as Dent did. Unable to cope with the disfigurement, Sloane developed a psychosis in which he actually believed he was Two-Face and began to commit similar crimes. Although a relic of the Silver Age, the character has appeared in post-Crisis continuity on several occasions.

7 HE NEVER APPEARED ON THE ‘60s TV SHOW

Despite the veritable kaleidoscope of colorful villains that appeared on the Batman ‘60s television show, Two-Face was never one of them. Perhaps show-runners thought the character too unseemly for a prime-time show that was comedic in nature and appealed to children, however, DC Animated rectified that oversight with 2017’s animated romp, Batman vs Two-Face.

With Adam West, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar reprising their roles, the film introduced Two-Face to the ‘60s Batman Universe. In an inspired piece of casting, William Shatner (Star Trek’s Captain Kirk) took the role of the disfigured district attorney.

6 BILLY DEE WILLIAMS WANTED TO PLAY HIM

Tim Burton’s Batman returned the character to his roots as a grim and foreboding loner, obsessed with eradicating crime from Gotham City. Featuring a star-studded cast headlined by Jack Nicholson, Michael Keaton, and Kim Basinger, the film also featured Billy Dee Williams (of Lando Calrissian fame) as district attorney Harvey Dent.

Williams hoped that he would get to play Two-Face in the sequel, but the next on-screen Batman outing featured the Penguin and Catwoman. By the time Two-Face was considered as a character for a film, the director had changed and decided to recast.

5 TOMMY LEE JONES’ SON CONVINCED HIM ON THE ROLE

Tommy Lee Jones as Two Face

Like most of the elements of Joel Schumacher’s Batman films, Tommy Lee Jones’ performance as Two-Face was loud, ostentatious, and incongruent with the source material. The performance came off as a Joker-like caricature, as his wild and flailing movements and bellowing orations were decidedly not Harvey Dent. A talent like Tommy Lee Jones doesn’t deserve all the blame, as the script itself could have used some gravitas and a director veering closer to the source material. What is interesting to note is that Jones decided to take the role at the urging of his young son, who was a fan of the character.

4 HE WENT TO LAW SCHOOL WITH DAREDEVIL

It’s common knowledge that Harvey Dent was an attorney before his unfortunate disfigurement, but what may be less well-known is that he went to law school with none other than Matt Murdock, better known as Daredevil.

At least, that was a plot point in the Daredevil/Batman: Eye For An Eye crossover, which saw Daredevil attempting to simultaneously thwart and redeem his old friend, with Batman’s help. Although it’s almost guaranteed this is not canon, it’s still fun for fans to envision.

3 HIS WIFE WAS A SERIAL KILLER

The Long Halloween Batman

Batman: The Long Halloween has since become a classic in Bat-Canon. The series chronicled Batman’s early years in the cowl while he, Commissioner Gordon and a pre-Two-Face Harvey Dent battled the mob and the mysterious killer known as Holiday for control of Gotham City.

The 13-issue mini-series read like a murder mystery as readers all speculated about the identity of the killer. Although Alberto Falcone, son of mob boss Carmine Falcone, was one of the killers, it was revealed that Gilda Dent, Harvey’s wife, operated as the second Holiday killer as well!

2 HE GAINED POWER THROUGH EXTORTION

Despite developing a sociopathic split-personality with a vendetta against the G.C.P.D. and the Batman, it would probably take more than that to convince Gotham’s criminal element to work with a former district attorney. After all, Dent had spent years sending criminals to jail, so there’s no reason they’d now agree to help him in bank heists or vendetta missions. Unless, of course, he made use of all the documents and information he was privy to as a D.A. to leverage them into working for him, which is exactly what he did. Through extortion, Dent was able to get the muscle and funding to enact his crimes.

1 HE IS A SURVIVOR OF CHILD ABUSE

One of the hidden gems in comic book storytelling is Batman Annual #14, which tells the story of Two-Face’s origin in the months following Batman: Year One. Here, it is revealed that Harvey was the victim of child abuse. In a sick game his father used to play with him, Harvey’s dad would flip a coin: if it landed on heads, he’d get beaten, if it landed on tails he wouldn’t. In a cruel twist of revelation, Harvey discovers the coin was double-headed. The annual goes a long way to establish Harvey’s connection to the coin, as well as the root of his personality disorder.
