Summary
Two - Faceis a complicated fibre . While he was first have intercourse Harvey Dent , Gotham ’s handsome District Attorney , those days have long passed . For year , Two - Face has been a classic Batman villain with an fixation with silvery one dollar bill and duplicity , which serve as analogy for effective versus immorality . But it looks like Two - Face finally picked one side over the other in the most satisfying way potential .
As the Orghams lay call to Gotham , Gael Tenclaw , Batman ’s staring mythological foil , has revealed his true lycanthropic self as a wolf - human being . While the conflict for Gotham ramp inDetective Comics#1087 by Ram V , Christian Duce , and Stefano Raffaele , every member of the Bat - Family is require to keep the peacefulness . Even the villains , it seems .
In a braid that took me by surprise , Two - Face add up onto the scene , firing a silver bullet at Tenclaw , and givesBatman a prospect to escape . Siding with Batman reveals to me that he still has his Harvey Dent side , albeit with a elan for his dark side ’s dear of irony — and silver .
An A - lean Gotham Rogue ’s menace level has just rocket , with Nightwing as his first victim , turning everything fan know on its head .
Two-Face’s Love of Silver Finally Comes in Handy
Two-Face Shoots Silver Bullets at Tenclaw the Werewolf
Two - Face is n’t a supervillain with threaten power . He ’s a gangster with guns and a single silver dollar . This coin is different , however , because it has no tails . Both sides are heading , but one side — the benighted side — is scratched out , like his own fount . The dear of duality and the chance ofa coin - flip is so inherent to Two - Face ’s characterthat before doing any heroic ( or flagitious ) , he takes a chance by flipping his iconic coin . If the coin come up good - side - up , he ’ll be respectable . If not , he starts firing . For me , this random coin - flipping has always set him apart as one of my favorite villains .
The only time Two - Face abandon the silvery dollar was when he became catch with the 52 luck of a deck of cards , as see inArkham Asylum : A Serious House on Serious Earthby Grant Morrison and Dave McKean !
Two - Face ’s silver dollar is n’t just a mental tool now , because that same silver medal has been smelted into bullets used to fritter away Gael Tenclaw , who had his sights gear up on Two - side . Human as he is , Two - Face does n’t have an inherent helplessness like Tenclaw , and that ’s just how he will gain ground : historically , the only thing that can kill werewolves is flatware , and Two - Face has silver in abundance . This twist is amazingly satisfying for a Two - Face rooter like me , who cheered while watching him declining to flip a two - sided coin in favour of the six - sided wheel of his revolvers .
Two-Face Still Holds to a Code of Ethics
Two-Face Promised Batman Not to Kill
For me , the production line of chance separating his heroic side from his nefarious side makes Two - Face a tragic villain . His nous is bifurcated , and soDent is n’t in the same camp as villains like the Joker , who lie with hurt masses just to smart people . Two - Face is bound by his own codification of value-system , even if those ethics are a coin - toss . In this laughable way , I opine he ’s closer to the Dark Knight and his own oath than many others in Gotham , and he has been long delinquent for redemption .
But now , Two - Face has promised Batman not to down , cementing the likeness of the two even further in my eyes . As Two - Face the Werewolf Slayer redeems himself from all the vile acts he ’s committed as his crueler half , he does so in the most comforting way , get back his compulsion with facile dollars and using this compulsion as a forcible weapon . There is only one thing adept than a redemption arc , and inTwo - Face ’s case , it ’s when it is earned .
