Two-Face is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly as an adversary of the superhero Batman. The character was created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane, and first appeared in Detective Comics #66 (August 1942).

Character biography

Two-Face was once Gotham City's handsome and upstanding district attorney, Harvey Dent. However, he was hideously scarred on the left side of his face by acid during a trial, leading to his transformation into the deranged criminal known as Two-Face. The character's obsession with duality and fate is symbolized by his use of a two-headed coin, one side of which is scarred, to make decisions.

Personality

Two-Face's personality is defined by his duality. He often refers to himself as "we" and makes decisions based on the flip of his coin. This duality is a manifestation of his internal struggle between his former, good self (Harvey Dent) and his evil persona (Two-Face).

Abilities

Two-Face possesses a genius-level intellect and is an expert in hand-to-hand combat. He is also a skilled marksman and proficient in criminal strategy. Despite his criminal activities, he retains a sense of justice, albeit a twisted one, often targeting those he deems guilty.

In other media

Two-Face has appeared in various forms of media, including television, film, and video games. Notable portrayals include Tommy Lee Jones in Batman Forever and Aaron Eckhart in The Dark Knight.

Alliances

Two-Face has been a member of several villainous groups, including the Injustice League and the Secret Society of Super Villains. He has also partnered with other notable villains such as the Joker.
