  • First appearing in Batman: The Animated Series (1992), this version developed dissociative identity disorder as a result of years of repressed anger, which led to the creation of an alternate personality called "Big Bad Harv". After initially making minor appearances, with his most notable seeing him being brainwashed by Poison Ivy into dating her as part of an attempt on his life, Two-Face's self-titled two-part episode sees Dent's condition resurface amidst his engagement to Grace Lamont, his D.A. reelection campaign, and crime boss Rupert Thorne stealing his therapy records to use as blackmail material. The combined stress of these events causes "Big Bad Harv" to reemerge and attack Thorne. Batman attempts to intervene, but the fight triggers an explosion that severely scars the left side of Dent's face and body. Driven mad by his disfigurement, Dent reinvents himself as the gangster "Two-Face". In subsequent episodes, Two-Face becomes a crime boss in his own right, joins forces with other Gotham supervillains, and fights Batman several times.
  • Two-Face returns in

  • Two-Face's cell and biography appear in Batman: Arkham Asylum.
  • Two-Face appears in Batman: Arkham City. This version was disfigured by Carmine Falcone. Prior to the game's events, he attempted to obtain blueprints for Professor Hugo Strange's vault to steal confiscated goods, only to be captured and sent to the eponymous Arkham City, a lawless and walled city whose inmate inhabitants are free to wreak havoc, where he overthrew Calendar Man for control of the Solomon Wayne Courthouse. Two-Face later declines Strange's offer to help him become Dent again before Strange informs him of Catwoman's attempted theft of his valuables. After thwarting her heist, he kidnaps her and puts her on trial in a kangaroo court to stake his claim in Arkham City. Before he can kill her, Batman rescues Catwoman and joins her in subduing Two-Face. In the "Catwoman" DLC, in which he appears as the final boss, Two-Face takes over the Penguin's territory, only to be defeated by Catwoman once more.
