First Appearance:

"Two Face, Part 1" (as Two-Face)
Position: Villain |
Bio: Once Gotham City's distinguished District Attorney, Harvey
Dent was known as a true guardian of law and order. On the cusp of
apprehending mob boss Rupert Thorne, Thorne learned of Dent's other side
and knew if it was exploited it could ruin Dent's career. When a fight
ensued between Dent and Thorne's men, a freak explosion destroyed the
left side of Dent's body. The trauma was powerful enough to force his
alternate personality to dominate, and left Harvey in a state where
right and wrong no longer held any meaning.
He becomes Two Face. He feels as though this is the way he was meant to
be, living in a world of chaos, without the order and justice he once
upheld and believed in. His world revolves around chance, more
importantly the flip of his coin. It is no ordinary coin as it is double
sided, clean on one side, and covered by scars on the other. Every
decision Two Face makes falls on the flip of his coin. It is judge, jury
and executioner. When the "Good Heads" turns up Harvey is in control.
When it's "Bad Heads" however Two Face shines and becomes more dominant
than Harvey can ever be. Yet there always seems to be a piece of Harvey
which is strong enough to linger within the mind of Two Face when he is
committing his ungodly acts. However, Two Face is the dominant
personality.
Bio (Cartoon Network): It's ironic that Two-Face was formerly
Harvey Dent, Gotham City's District Attorney. In his role as a lawman,
Dent was well-regarded as someone who knew how to put the bad guys away.
But Dent had a darker side, one that remained in check until a freak
accident forever scarred the left side of his body. The trauma
associated with this incident brought Harvey's evil personality to the
surface, and Gotham's District Attorney became the notorious criminal
known as Two-Face.
Two-Face's opposing personalities are constantly at war, but as Batman
learns, it is usually the bad side that wins. Two-Face moderates his
inner conflict with a special coin that is scratched on one side. He
uses this coin as the arbiter of his own brand of demented justice,
flipping the coin to determine his decisions. Without the coin, Two-Face
is lost in a world in which no clear answer exists, and Batman knows he
can use this weakness to his advantage.
