| ~ Harvey expressing his feelings of betrayal at Bruce's hand. |
Mayor Harvey Dent, also known as Two-Face, is one of two secondary antagonists (alongside the Penguin) of Batman: The Telltale Series.
Formerly the District Attorney of Gotham who wanted to make his city safer, he wound up collaborating with his old friend Bruce Wayne to back his campaigns. At some point, he decided to run against Hamilton Hill for the position of Mayor, before a terrorist attack by the Children of Arkham left him as the by-default victor, but also leaving him to spiral into insanity via a psychoactive drug. From there, a darker split personality formed and slowly began to take over, turning Harvey from a decent man out for justice, into a blood-hungry psychopath who will decide life and death based on the toss of a coin. The tipping point occurs when he believes Bruce went behind his back and had sex with his love interest, Selina Kyle.
He is voiced by Travis Willingham.
What Makes Him a Base Breaking Character?[]
What Do People Like About Him?[]
- Many found the idea of Two-Face being a lost cause who will always go insane regardless of your choices to be quite profound. It shows that Dent's dual-minded madness goes deeper than just a facial scar, and that he likely would have gone crazy and became a criminal even if he didn't get his signature "second face".
- His reasons for despising Bruce are defended by a lot of fans, as going behind your best friend's back to sleep with a woman he was clearly interested in is an act of betrayal that's hard to come back from.
- He retains his tragic elements here, with it being clear in a lot of routes that Harvey doesn't want to go down this spiral. He even tries to shoot himself in the "good ending" of his route in Episode Five.
- His facial scarring is expertly designed, being slightly downplayed, but still recognizable as a man split between a clean-faced attorney and a bloodthirsty psychopath.
- His split personality is much less of a straight villain in this take, seeming like the farthest extreme of a protective alter.
What Do People Hate About Him?[]
- While his descent into madness is praised by some, it comes off as a case of Telltale's "choices" not mattering to others. Even if you prevent Harvey from getting traumatically burned, suggest he get professional help and not sleep with Selina, he still becomes a monstrous extremist, even down to branding his militia with a Two-Face logo. It seems to some more like Telltale not being able to commit to alternate endings, and less like a profound analysis of Harvey's character.
- No matter if you did or didn't, Harvey will always assume you slept with Selina. He doesn't even seem to pay mind to Bruce being in a medical sling, much less during a time where a terrorist group has openly stated they want vengeance on the "corrupt elite" of Gotham. Even if you try to explain that it isn't how it looks, he brushes you off and assumes you "betrayed" him, even trying to murder Selina before she has the chance to explain herself.
- Even with how crazy Harvey is, and if his accusations of Bruce betraying him hold any weight, it comes across as unbelievably petty to try to kill someone and burn their house down because someone you weren't even dating slept with him. To some, it makes Harvey come off more as someone bitter over even possibly getting cucked than a scorned lover whose insanity prevents him from seeing the bigger picture.
