DC Comics has made an exciting announcement: Two-Face will star in his own comic book series for the first time in its history. Longtime fans of the Batman universe know Two-Face as one of Gotham’s most iconic villains. Now he’ll finally be getting a full exploration of his complex character across multiple issues. Created by writer Mariko Tamaki and artist Javier Fernandez, the series promises to delve deeper than ever into the duality that has defined Two-Face for decades.
The series will focus on Harvey Dent’s inner struggle between his good side and his twisted villainous persona, Two-Face. Dent, originally Gotham’s District Attorney, was a close ally of Batman before a horrific accident disfigured half his face. This trauma unlocked a darker side within him, creating a villain who relies on the flip of a coin to make his decisions. His tragic fall from grace has always made him one of Batman’s most complicated foes, and this series will offer readers a chance to see him in a new light.
Two-Face’s Legacy in the Batman Universe
Two-Face, created by writer Bill Finger and artist Bob Kane, made his debut in Detective Comics #66 in 1942. Originally named Harvey Kent, his character was later renamed Harvey Dent (for obvious reasons, though imagine if they stuck with Kent–the relationship between Bruce/Batman and both Harvey and Clark could have been dramatic). What makes Two-Face stand out among Gotham’s rogues gallery is his tragic backstory, which turned a once-promising District Attorney into a criminal mastermind obsessed with duality and chance. The character has appeared in various forms across comics, TV, and film, most notably in The Dark Knight (2008) and Batman: The Animated Series.
This new series offers an exciting opportunity for long-time fans and new readers alike to dive into the intricacies of Harvey Dent’s psyche, understanding what drives him and whether redemption is still possible for Gotham’s most conflicted villain. With its blend of psychological tension, action, and stunning artwork, it’s shaping up to be one of DC’s most anticipated releases.

He’s also an uber Kevin Smith fan (all Smith’s movies are worth a watch, even Yoga Hosers) who has cried during Kermit’s monologue in The Muppets and once owned two VHS copies of Spice World.
