Two-Face (Batman Forever)

"The Bat's stubborn refusal to expire..... IS DRIVING US INSANE!!!"

- Two-Face

Two-Face is one of the two main antagonists of Batman Forever, the other antagonist being The Riddler.

Past
"We've received a letter from Batman this morning: Please inform the citizens of Gotham that Gotham City has earned a rest of crime. But if the forces of evil should rise again, to cast a shadow on the heart of the city, call me."

- Harvey Dent

When Harvey Dent was interrogating Boss Maroni during a court hearing, Maroni tried kill Harvey by throwing acid onto Harvey's face. All though Batman tried to save Harvey, the acid managed to burn the left half of Harvey's face. The acid burned far enough through his head that part of his brain was damaged, making Dent half psychotic and homicidal. Dent also blamed Batman for the condition he's in, and wants to get his revenge on the Dark Knight.

Dent was eventually arrested and retained in Arkham Asylum. Two-Face escaped from his cell on the second anniversary of his arrest, his escape being discovered by Dr. Burton, who contacted Gotham City's Police Department.

Two-Face
"For you're dying pleasure, we are serving the very same acid that made us the men we are today!"

- Two-Face

Two-Face and his thugs robbed the Second Bank of Gotham. They had taken hostages and looked like they were going to get away when Batman intervened and stopped the robbery. However, Two-Face escaped.

Later on, Two-Face traveled to the circus looking for Batman. With the circus currently holding a fundraiser attended by Gotham's elite, Two-Face concluded that the odds were excellent that at least one of them knew the Dark Knight's identity if they weren't Batman himself, and threatened to blow the place up unless his enemy turned himself over (although the subsequent riot in the circus prevented Bruce Wayne obeying his order). He was responsible for the origin of Robin because when The Flying Graysons tried to stop him, they were all killed by Two-Face. Dick, the youngest Grayson, survived and went on to join Batman as Robin.

Meeting the Riddler
"You've broke into our hideout, you've violated the asininity of our lair, for this we should crush you're bones into powder. However, you pose a most interesting proposition. Therefore: Heads, we accept, and tails, we blow your damn head off..."

- Two-Face, before agreeing to team up with Riddler

At his lair, which was split in half like his personality, he had two henchwomen, Sugar and Spice, who worked for him. Spice favored his 'dark', scarred side, while Sugar favored his 'good' side. While the three were about to have Harvey's favorites, the Riddler showed and to offer Two-Face a proposal; if Two-Face help the Riddler steal enough money so he can become Gotham's cleverest carbon-based life form, and in return the Riddler will help Two-Face discover the identity of Batman. With a flip of a coin, Two-Face agreed to the Riddler's terms.

Aiding the Riddler
Two-Face joins forces with Riddler and committed crimes together. The two robbed a building and soon discovered Batman's true identity; Bruce Wayne.

Assault on Wayne Manor
"No killing..."

- Two-Face, before entering the Wayne Manor

After discovering the hero's true identity, they infiltrated Wayne Manor and Riddler destroyed the Batcave. Meanwhile, Two-Face and his henchmen attacked Bruce and Dr. Chase Merdian while flipping his coin, which kept landing on good side up, preventing him from doing anything bad. As soon as the scarred one came up, she shot Wayne with his pistol, gazing him in the head. Two-Face wished to finish him off, but the Riddler intervened and left, as well as kidnapping Dr. Merdian and leaving behind a riddle.

Demise
"Yes, of course you're right, Bruce. Emotions always the enemy of true justice. Thank you, you've always been a good friend."

- Two-Face's last words

At the Riddler's lair, Claw Island, Batman and Robin got seperated. Robin eventually fought Two-Face and even had the chance to kill him, but didn't because he refused to be like him. Two-Face then managed to capture Robin, then brought him to Riddler. Batman confronted the two villains and revealed that they have both Robin and Merdian captured, then sent them falling to their deaths, leaving Batman to save them. Batman managed to save the pair but Two-Face flipped his coin and decided he'll go after them. While shooting the three, Batman tossed up a bunch of identital coins which made Two-Face panick and fell into the watery bed of spikes, ending him once and for all.
