About this deal
During Harvey's childhood, he was often harassed by a bully until he decided to stand up to him and punched the bully in the face. The next day, Harvey found out that the bully was in the hospital. Though he went there to get his appendix removed, Dent thought he had sent him there because of their fight. Dent felt so guilty about what happened that he never showed his anger again. Over the years, that built up anger developed into a second personality named "Big Bad Harv." Dent managed to keep it under control for most of his life, but it would always slip out during brief moments of anger and embarrassment. [1] District Attorney
Batman. You got this wrong. The Bank of Gotham, it launders money for the mob - or whats left of it."During the course of his gang robbing the banks of Gotham, both Two-Face and Harvey Dent tried to reason with Batman through the intercom systems with each of his personalities explaining their reasons. Both personalities blamed Batman for the current situation with the Two-Face persona arguing that he came into existence only because of Batman using him as a meat shield against the mob's hatred, while Harvey Dent lamented how he became a criminal and how he believed and trusted Batman when he told him they would "clean up crime within the year" which caused his fall from grace. His way of referring to himself in the plural seemed to be inspired by the Batman Forever version of the character.
With only so much strength left, the Harvey personality reached out to Batman, claiming that a cure for his condition was available if only the Bat could help him get to the Arkham boys home where they first met. Batman agreed but, when they started their journey together, the Two-Face personality took over and made a televised threat that, if they weren't stopped, all the dirt he had on everybody would be publicly released. The person that successfully stopped them though would also be secretly transferred millions of dollars stolen from the three biggest crime lords in Gotham. Now with a huge bounty on both of their heads, Batman and Two-Face began their 500-mile journey together. [14] A number of alternate universes in DC Comics publications allow writers to introduce variations on Two-Face, in which the character's origins, behavior, and morality differ from the mainstream setting. In the " Emperor Joker" storyline, when the Joker stole the reality warping power of Mister Mxyzptlk, he warped reality in his own image. Here, Two-Face was a small plushie-like creature that was a servant of Harley Quinn. He had a penchant for double entendres, such as quipping to the reader "If you think I'm small, you should see my silver dollar!" [133] Thy Kingdom Come [ edit ] Beedle, Tim (April 2, 2015).
