Harvey Dent/Two Face Profile

WARNING: This post May Contain Images That Are Uncomfortable for some viewers.

The Los Angeles Times quoted Aaron Eckhart, the actor who plays Two-Face in the upcoming Dark Knight movie, as saying…“I can tell you that, basically, when you look at Two-Face, you should get sick to your stomach. Being the guy under all that, well, that was a lot of fun for me. It’s like you would feel if you met someone whose face had pretty much been ripped off or burned off with acid. I can’t talk about it beyond that because I don’t want to give away too much of the plans by Chris.”

As seen by the following picture, it has certaintely proven to be true.



The Dark Knight, the sequel to the 2005 film, Batman Begins introduce the character of Harvey Dent. In the film, Dent is elected to become Gotham's district attorney and tries to rebuild Gotham's image for the better, only to find himself facing The Joker's (Heath Ledger) leadership of the criminal underworld.

Harvey Dent is shown serious but usually laid back with a sense of humor before becoming Two-Face

Two-Face was once Harvey Dent, District Attorney of Gotham City and an ally of Batman. After a criminal disfigures half of his face with acid, Dent becomes the insane crime boss Two-Face, who chooses to do either good or evil depending upon the results of flipping a coin

He obsessively makes all important decisions by flipping a two-headed coin, one side of which is scratched over with an X. The fact that Dent was formerly a friend of Bruce Wayne and an ally of Batman before his scarring colored their now adversarial relationship is also a more prominent element in modern stories.

Dent gets his trademark coin from his abusive father, who would employ the coin in a perverse nightly "game" that would always end with Harvey being beaten. This would instill in Harvey his lifelong struggle with free will and his eventual inability to make choices on his own.
