~ Two-Face |
Harvey Dent, also known as Two-Face, is a minor character in Tim Burton's 1989 film Batman and one of the two main antagonists (alongside the Riddler) of Joel Schumacher's 1995 threequel Batman Forever.
He used to be Gotham City's District Attorney until the mobster Salvatore Maroni burned his face with acid, resulting in him splitting his personality in a good half and a bad half. Donning himself as Two-Face, Dent obsesses with stealing all the money he can get and kill Batman, killing the Flying Graysons in his quest, causing Dick Grayson to become Robin, making him his arch-nemesis.
In Batman, he was portrayed by Billy Dee Williams. In Batman Forever, he was portrayed by Tommy Lee Jones, who also played Ryan Gaerity from Blown Away.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He broke out of Arkham Asylum.
- His reason for wanting to kill Batman is because of his scars, ignoring the fact that Salvatore Maroni was responsible and not Batman.
- It's also implied that he killed off Salvatore Maroni offscreen first as well.
- He tried to murder Batman even when his coin didn't give him permission to do so.
- He tried robbing the Second Bank of Gotham endangering a guard even though his coin didn't give him permission to kill him.
- He recklessly flew his helicopter into a billboard and the Statue of Justice (which was basically the Statue of Liberty) in an attempt to kill Batman. He even accidentally shot and killed the pilot to try to kill Batman, but he showed no remorse for it and just pushed him aside.
- He was going to blow up a circus unless Batman reveals his identity, killing the Flying Graysons in the process, causing Dick Grayson to swear revenge on Two-Face.
- Due to killing Dick's family, Two-Face indirectly caused Bruce to develop repressed memories of Jack Napier/The Joker killing his parents and fears that he might lose Dick as well.
- He was going to immediately kill the Riddler but his good side stopped him.
- He joined in on the Riddler's plan to commit robberies and steal the city's intelligence.
- He joined in on kidnapping Dr. Chase Meridian and tried to kill her.
- He tried to kill Robin.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He has several severely detracting comedic moments, like having two dinners made for each half of his personality, his attacking of Batman's boat in the form of a Battleship game, and his overall zany characterization throughout the film.
- He has moral agency issues as he was once the good hearted district attorney of Gotham, but after his face was burned by acid, he was left physically and mentally scarred and developed a new chaotic personality inside himself.
