Two face (Harvey Dent)

Two-Face's Coin is an item owned and used by the criminal Two-Face. Once a double-headed coin, it was scarred on one of its sides and used by Dent to aid his weapon of choice: decision making. The coin has often been used by Dent to decide whether his actions will be good or for bad. In recent years, Two-Face has become increasingly reliant on the coin to make his decisions, something that both Batman and other villains have used in their favor.

Since Two-Face is hideously scarred on the left half of his face, he plays up to it with clothing that is differently styled and materialized on one side.

Two-Face is a criminal split between "good" and "evil" sides. Once Gotham City's amiable and courteous District Attorney, Harvey Dent was one of Batman's closest allies and friends, working with the vigilante to clean up the city. However, after being horribly disfigured during a trial, Dent's sanity fractured and he became one of the city's most notorious criminals, obsessed with duality, fate, chance and (occasionally) the number two. Unlike other villains, Two-Face often is displayed as having a moral code, often dictating how he will act through the flip of a scarred double-headed coin. Modern incarnations have been depicted to suffer from Dissociative Identity Disorder, with "Harvey Dent" acting for good whilst "Two-Face" acting in self-interest. Over the years, there have been multiple attempts to cure Harvey and return him to a normal life, with very few proving to be successful.

Harvey Dent's childhood consisted of hardship. Growing up under an abusive father, he developed repressed mental-illnesses of his own, such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. His hard work ethic, however, allowed him to rise up to become Gotham City's youngest district attorney at the age of 26.

Growing up under an abusive father, he developed repressed mental-illnesses of his own, such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. His hard work ethic, however, allowed him to rise up to become Gotham City's youngest district attorney at the age of 26. 1000106-twoface1p47 Boss Sal Maroni throws acid at Harvey, scarring half of his face. Dent was nicknamed "Apollo" by the media due to the fact that he was charming, good-looking, and seemingly untouchable. He was dedicated to his job of upholding law and order, and became one of the first supporters, allies, and even friends of Batman. At the time of his job as a district attorney, the worst criminal threat in Gotham City was Carmine "the Roman" Falcone. He forged a triumvirate with Batman and Commissioner Gordon to bring the man down within the law, no matter what the cost. His slightly angrier temperament led Batman and Commissioner Gordon to develop a slight distrust for him, believing that it was slightly possible that he could be the vigilante dubbed "Holiday." The alliance ended tragically when Sal "Boss" Maroni, believing Dent to be responsible for the death of his father, threw acid in his face during a trial. Dent was horribly scarred on the left side of his face.

Dent escaped from the hospital and descended into madness. He became obsessed with duality and opposites, and developed a second persona, the villainous Two-Face, to compliment the law & order obsessed Dent. As Two-Face, his trademark was crimes involving the number two. His obsession even shows in his clothes, which are usually composed of two halves made out of very different materials. At all times, he carries a double-headed coin with one side defaced, which he constantly flips to make any choices. Two-Face flips the coin at critical junctures: The scarred side would usually result in a crime, but the clean side would allow Two-Face to do the right thing, such as returning his loot or refraining from a murder.

Over the years, Two-Face had many rivalries with other DC characters, especially the following: Batman -- Although it was the crime lord's fault, Dent had blamed Batman for his facial scarring. He and the Batman had fought each other in over 50 issues of Batman and Detective Comics. The Joker -- Both Two-face and the Joker are often allied just as much as they oppose each other. This is because while both are chaotic in nature, their dispositions are entirely opposite, with the Joker's motivations centering around self-amusement and chaos, and Two-Face's often centering on anger and revenge. Either way, these two always feud and compete on defeating Batman. In the Dark Knight Trilogy continuity, The Joker is indirectly responsible for Rachel Dawes death, as well as his disfigurement. Poison Ivy -- A rivalry or sense of hatred exist between Two-Face and Ivy in Batman: The Animated Series due to Ivy attempting to murder Harvey Dent with plant toxins some time before his incident. Future interactions between the two shows that the only thing keeping Two-Face from killing Ivy out of revenge is a lucky coin flip. This carried over into the animated series, in which both sides of Dent's personality expressed a desire in killing her, though "Dent" wanted to strangle her and "Big Bad Harv" wanted to hit her with a truck. The Penguin -- The Penguin and Two-face have always been at each others throats. This is mostly because their goals usually don't align. While Penguin is selfish and greedy, Two-Face believes in a twisted form of justice and balance.

Professional Lawyer: He was a successful attorney and is proficient in nearly all matters pertaining to criminal law. Expert Detective: He possesses great deductive skills and analytic ability, reinforced by the training given by Batman. Criminal Mastermind: He's a genius in criminal planning and has many ties to the underworld, showing himself capable of competing with the Penguin. Expert Marksman: Thanks to Slade Wilson's training, Dent became an excellent marksman, able to shoot accurately from large distances. Skilled Combatant: Dent has been extensively trained by Batman in Kung-Fu.

The coloring Two-Face's scars has been altered over the years. Starting from Harvey Dent's first appearance in Detective Comics #66, the deformed portion of Dent's face was traditionally green for decades. In the 90s it was changed to dark red after Batman Forever.

In the comics, Harvey Dent has bipolar disorder, rage issues, and a form of schizophrenia. After his face is scarred, he develops a dissociative identity with an obsession over chance and opposites. In Nolan's films, Dent is viewed by everyone in Gotham, including Bruce Wayne, as a shining beacon of hope and goodness
