@@viruman1816 one where they didn't feel the need to change vital details would have been nice The Dark Knight is one of my favourite movies But wow did Nolan change almost everything for those stories
@@viruman1816 actually I think two face would be better as an actual main villain rather then a side only because his whole character is capable of doing quite alot like in the long halloween and such stories
@@nsalpietro79 a adaptation of the long Halloween would be good and would flesh out his character I’m not saying he can’t work as a main villian but he can’t work in a solo movie his entire character relies on the presence of Batman if you remove Batman you would have to change his entire story
Personally I think that’s what makes the idea of Two Face scary. Someone who has been through terrible trauma, fought his way passed it only for it to find you again, and drown you. That’s terrifying.
Wasn't bad, shatner as two face was a welcome surprise Two Face one year later It goes dark, but is one of the best graphic novels to delve into just how bad his psychosis truly is
Idk I feel pretty bad for Mr Freeze. Guy turns into a supervillain and works like crazy to cure his wife. Cures her, then she becomes a super villain because she likes it, and almost kills Freeze on the way out.
@@ComicBookGuy420 - Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic depression, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). most of what you talked about him having ISN"T Bipolar. Bipolar disorder does not involve problems with self-identity. He would be more closer identified having "Dissociative Identity Disorder."
@@zeblic Extreme mood swings and high risk behaviour happen with Bipolar Before you try again to tell me about something I have to live with I'm bipolar
@@ComicBookGuy420 - Ok, first, this was a question regarding Two Face. Are you Two Face, Mr Harvey Dent? How does the high risk behavior during manic phases including euphoria, grandiosity, hyper sexuality, impulsivity, and poor judgment or the depression phase feeling sad or hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most activities describe Harvey Dent? If you are Two Face, Mr Harvey Dent, explain to me how you are Bipolar? Nothing in the Comics or Cartoons, or Movies include any symptoms that would indicate someone with Bipolar Disorder. Your assumption that I can't tell you, "someone with the disorder." Where you diagnosed? Was you diagnosed by someone else with bipolar disorder? Is that a requirement to diagnose someone with bipolar only if that person has bipolar disorder? Please and thank you for your insight to your disorder. While it may be "your disorder," it does NOTHING for the comment nor the conversation.
@@zeblic So you googled mental illnesses to show how clever you are, when someone nicely tried to explain how something differed from what you thought, you went off Yes, I was diagnosed Yes, I am on high doses of lithium, and see a shrink regularly Yes, you were wrong Last time I try to have a conversation with a pretender Edit are you actually trying to say your comment was for two face alone, because, he's fictional, also, it was an open question Wow Godamn pretender
Two-face is amazing. He's a very layered character. Batmans most personal foe. His old friend turned supervillain. I recommend Batman annual 14 Eye of the beholder. It's a great Two-face story.
Layered? LAYERED???... DUDE, two face has A LOT of layers burned off! He isnt THAT layered any more. All though he is my favorite Batman villain of all time.
@@ianfranklin2216 Mine too. Even Cried when Two Face Died In the Dark Knight and Arkham Knight. Layers Two Face Has Psychologically. He Suffered More Psychological Scars. He's a Bomb and Explosive Expert too and Is Immune to Scarecrow's Toxic. Master Combatant.
Exactly, if only Two-Face was the same height Richard was when he played Milo Baudry in *Daisy's Shotgun Wedding,* the season 5 finale for the Dukes of Hazzard
My favorite version of Two-Face is the version from the Telltale Series. It's probably the most accurate portrayal of him when it comes to his split personality. It's clear that he is ill, but that he really wanted to make Gotham better. They did s lot to make him tragic while still being quite threatening.
The great thing about Telltale’s is that even if his face remains in tact he still becomes two-Face. It showed how the injury didn’t create two-Face, it only rushed the process.
@@haydenrhead7692 Lots of people felt off about this choice but I never understood why. Yeah, it's Telltale saving their budget, but it works perfectly in context with the character. His dark side was always buried inside him, and the drug was what finally brought it to the surface, scars or no scars.
@@haydenrhead7692 True. Harvey Dent is the comic book poster boy for dissociative identity disorder. there are two people inhabiting that body. When the acid got on his face, the significant brain damage allowed the evil alternate persona to become equally dominant simultaneously alongside the genuinely good-hearted Harvey persona. This is best shown in his introduction in the legendary video game Batman Arkham City.
Two Face is my fave Batman villain after the Joker (with R’as Al Ghoul at #3). He is intelligent, and his being a former District Attorney gives him an edge as he knows the ins and outs of the law. His obsession with the number 2, as well as always following what his silver dollar coin decides after a flip also makes him predictable on one hand, yet also unpredictable as nobody- not even Harvey Dent himself- knows how it will turn up. Making him Bruce Wayne’s best friend in Batman: The Animated Series and slowly coming the arc that made Harvey Two-Face made him a tragic figure- the novelization of Batman Forever by Peter David even gave more of his film character background and why he personally hates Batman. According to Tommy Lee Jones back in 1995 in an interview with Wizard Magazine, he took the role otherwise his son would’ve been really upset with him.
Fun Fact: His original name was Harvey Kent, took them more than a couple issues to change his last name to Dent Two Face in the Batman animated series was one of my absolute favourites Also loved his part in the No Man's Land
Imagine a Twisted Batman Film or Graphic Novel about a screwed up organized crime rivaly between Two-Face and Scarce-Face with the Ventriloquist. The story be that the duel Personality disorder is in full swing, 1) Harvey and Ventriloquist are working together as DA and Informant to help Batman take down new Crime Turf War. 2) Unbeknownst to Harvey and the Ventriloquist, they don't know that their other personalities Two-Face and Scarce-Face are the leaders of the Two Rival Crime Syndicates engaging in Turf Wars.
Two face One of the most iconic Batman villains with the tale of a man going from the beloved figure of Gotham City to the most feared Mob bosses of Gotham due to his mental issues
My 1# favourite Batman villain. To underused in my opinion. To much The Joker in recent years. And why so much the Penguin and the Riddler? these days? they are boring in comparisson.
I was about to say! Be careful with The Long Halloween as it is one of the BEST comic stories ever with a twist ending not many saw coming. There is an animated adaptation that fills the holes but I find the comic more grounded in reality.
The animated adaptation was pretty damn good, but it indeed changes quite a lot of things in the ending... I'm not mad about it, it made for a few interesting surprises even for those who have read "The Long Halloween" Plus, my man David Dastmalchian voices _the Calendar Man_ , in Julian Day's first appearance as a legit scary dude (like how he's represented in the *Arkham* games) Anyway, "The Long Halloween" movie has been a really good entrance in the DCAU, and is worth watching whether you've read the comics or not.
You know what would be awesome? A video about the scariest German Bedtime Stories/Fairy Tales . We have a bunch of them . (For example the original „Sandman“ who comes into childrens rooms, rips out their eyes and feeds the eyes to his own children)
I HATE the term Genius Level Intellect. There are NOT that many geniuses. Above Average intelligence is a better term. A few rare characters like Dr Doom or Lex Luthor ,and several others, would qualify as geniuses.
Currently as of an issue of detective comics before it hit number 1000, Harvey has decided to use his legal training to help fellow inmates with their appeals. As far as I can tell it's a legitimate attempt at redemption, but, as you pointed out, can Two-Face allow Harvey to stray that far from him?
I loved that storyline, with the *"Church of Two-Face"* , and him and Batman taking on the Joker's talons together during *Joker War*... In even more recent comics, Harvey has kept straight on his road to redemption, but it's tricky to talk about which series it happens in, as it's kind of a twist/surprise about halfway in the storyline... I'll just recommend the following title, which is very good anyway, regardless of Dent's appearance or not: */!\SPOILER ALERT/!\* ... .. . .. ... I recommend *Task Force Z* for fans of Jason Todd/Red Hood, who is the main character in this story, leading his own "Suicide Squad" made out of "Zombies" (hence the title) version of Batman rogues who were recently deceased, either in the "A-Day" attack, or in the 2019/2020 Suicide Squad run (with the revolutionaries? it was a good run). *Task Force Z* is one of the best DC runs of the moments, and if you're kinda sick of the Joker being the main antagonist in most current stories, you'll be pleased with this one. Plus, Mr Bloom returns! We hadn't seen him since *All-Star Batman* at the beginning or _DC Rebirth_
No Man's Land Spoilers His shooting of Tally Man because he confessed to murder His breakdown with the trial A different side of the character, indeed many characters It's the Batman trilogy we need Comic accurate For once
@@ComicBookGuy420 - Just in case other readers are confused, I might as well explain that, *No Man's Land (novelization) SPOILERS* . .. ... .. . Two-Face killing Tally-Man only happened in the Novelization (by Greg Rucka) of *No Man's Land* , not in the comics storyline. So if you couldn't place that event, there you go...
@@randallflagg3700 Thankyou, never got to read all of the NML comics, didn't realise the tallyman death didn't occur there too Any other major changes I should know?
You keep saying “the Dark Knight returns” when the title of the film you’re referring to is “the dark knight rises”. C’mon man ... get it together. Haha.
So many of Batman's villains are brilliant, simply because they challenge his beliefs or highlight a part of who he is. Harvey is not only representative of the thin line Bruce walks as Batman between good and evil, but is a dark shadow of Bruce as well. The Dark Knight Rises is partly so amazing simply because of the triumvirate of Batman and Joker are both sides of a single coin. It's not only Two-Faces shtick, but because of the symbolism invoked with that, the lines of who won in the movie are actually blurred. Batman stopped Joker's plot, but Harvey still succumbed to madness, and everything he built was left on a foundation of sand because of it.
a Wonderful Actor to play Two Face in the DCEU/Snyderverse, is Sam Witwer, he Nailed it with his Voice Acting performance as Both Darth Maul and Darth Sidious, he'll make a Great Choice for the DCEU/Snyderverse's Harvey Dent/Two-Face
I like that his look never changed that much over the years. Well, until the "make everyone look like the Nolan movies" phase. The snarl combined with sloughing face was much better than a pseudo-gory burn IMO.
Genuinely hate how under utilized he is as a character. Easily one of Batman’s best villains, and one of the handful that actually knows how to fight(obviously not on Batman’s level, but can definitely throw down) with a strong personal connection with batman himself and who is deep down and genuinely good person who is in desperate need of clinical help. Hate that nowa days he always just gets treated like a villain of the week. IMO he’s Batman’s best villain.
Imagine (in a parallel reality) Guiliani (who's a snake in his own right) during his massive push against the mob in the 80s goes rogue after an attempt on his life. He disappears, resurfaces later but not before killing Carmine Persico and his loyalists, taking over the Colombos and then warring with everyone else. That idea is why Harvey Dent is so fascinating to me. Such a high profile political figure who's generally regarded as a good man by everyone becomes one of Gotham's most menacing mob bosses. In real life I'm sure he'd be a Nicky Scarfo type with the looks of Phil Leonetti. Scary as all fuck
its amazing how comic mental disorders chosen for the villains are based on names of disorders or the awful misrepresentation made popular in 80s(and on) movies and nothing to do with symptoms. two faces = bipolar (what you mean like manic depression?) and of course movie schizophrenia of the imaginary split personality sort, puppet master totes the sort of movie schizophrenia where the symptoms align with d.i.d.
@@ComicBookGuy420 several over the years ... as i have a bachelors and masters in psychology. not that it's needed when movie diagnoses have been ass backwards for decades with a penchant for same predictable ass symptoms always wrongly assigned to 3-4 of same predictable ass disorders with spookie ookie mystique why? something on your mind you want psych book answers to?
.....years ago i read an article that after the scandal of murder....2 FACE....was drawn to look like...OJ SIMPSON....how SHADY....other than that i love the character and all the people who played him....they all did a great job....
I like Troy Baker’s Two-Face from Batman: Arkham City (2011) and Batman: Arkham Knight (2015) because his Two-Face is based on 3 previous versions. The way he talks like Richard Moll from Batman: TAS (1992), Troy’s Two-Face refers to himself as us Like Tommy Lee Jones from Batman: Forever (1995), and his disfigured face based on Aaron Eckhart’s Two-Face from The Dark Knight (2008).
Two-Face is my favourite Batman villain and I always found him an interesting character and I enjoyed Tommy Lee-Jones and Aaron Eckhardt's portrayal of Two-Face.
God Harvey’s my fave batman villain I relate to him a lot with both mental and physical issues. His design is literally always top tier and I love that it isn’t shied away from in live action and people still find him attractive. And he’s the best foul to Bruce especially in continuities where they’re childhood friends. Idk why they always push joker as his foil it’s clearly Harvey.
ye ok two face is cool n all when he is super serious but the strongest version of him is the Tommy Lee Jones one cos those guys had to eal with a cartoon plot and dude... cartoons can take infinate beatings... imagine that shit happening irl. Shoemacker unintentionally made the most dangerous gotham city just based on the fact that THEY HAVE FREEZE RAY TECH N TECH THAT STEALS UR FUCKIN IQ I swear more people need to realize how actually terrifying that scenario would be if we lived those movies
I adore Batman: Arkham City and Knight's Two-Face design wise and the performance his voice actor gives is incredible. Sadly in those two games, he's a mere jobber who gets the second worst treatment in the Arkham games, only being beaten out by Black Mask.
And that is why i sometimes dont like Harley Quinn Animated Series and Batman : Gotham By Gaslight Animated Movie . That show and movie really fucked and messed up poor Two-Face and did him dirty .
Two-face is very iconic character in Batman's rogues gallery and I feel that he deserves far more recognition than what he's received at the present time!
My favorite version of the character that I think does his duality so well only had one appearance. New 52 Batman and Robin #23.1 or Two-Face #1. This comic showed Two-Face having his day decided for him by flipping a coin. Scarred heads he becomes the mobster crime lord version we are used to. However, if the coin lands on good heads he becomes a vigilante in the same vain as Marvel's Punisher. Going on a rampage and killing criminals and those he believed deserve punishment, fitting considering his career as a lawyer and originally wanting to see justice done. This version mirrors Batman's duality in a very unique way. Batman seeks to punish the guilty and get justice for the innocent they have wronged yet would never break his moral code and take a life. However Batman does indeed have a darkness inside him and part of him would nothing more than to have bloody vengeance for both himself and others who have been wronged but is able to keep his dark side in check. This version of Two-Face is what Batman could potentially be if he were to give into his darker instincts and step over that line.
I love Two-Face because of how real he is. A problem he long avoided came back to haunt him years later. Usually the way it goes... He is my favorite character-DC or Marvel, hero or villain.
Two face is the first and one of my favorite Batman Villains. I remember seeing him in my first Batman comic book I bought when I was very young. It had two face and tim drake first doned the Robin costume in order to save Batman and Nightwing.
So are we gonna call bullish.t on gotham Harvey Dent I mean seriously he never got hit with acid or anything he didn’t become a villain in the gotham series but the only thing that makes this Harvey Dent Harvey Dent is the f..king coin flip
I think their should be a story about how batman managed to rehabilate two face and he becomes an anti hero i mean he has the potential for it or maybe one where he learns batman identity bc that would be terrifying bc unlike other villians when they learn who batman is they just oh he is a rich boy who lost his parents who cares but two face he actually knows bruce wayne inside and out duo to them being close friends so bruce or batman would never be save so i think it would be very dangerous for him to learn this
to add to his physical abilities; in an issue of the battle for the cowl, he breaks out of prison along with others and it shows him having ripped the head off a guard with his bare hands.
Two Face is underrated af. He has actual great character development, is genuinely frighting, and interesting af. My favorite thing about him is that he’s not scared to confront Batman to his face (no pun intended). 😂💯
