Harvey Dent

**Two-Face** is one of the secondary antagonists of *Batman: The Telltale Series*. He is the former mayor of Gotham City, now a criminal obsessed with fate, chance, and cruel justice. His civilian identity is **Harvey Dent**, a former District Attorney and friend of Bruce Wayne. During the events of the series, he was running for Mayor of Gotham against Hamilton Hill. However, following an attack by the Children of Arkham, Harvey began to turn towards a darker path, due to a psychoactive chemical being injected into his body (and possible disfigurement), which caused him to lose control over his sanity.

## Biography

Harvey Dent had been Gotham City's District Attorney since the age of 26. He became well known with the GCPD for serving up sentences effectively and making sure they would stay that way. At least a year before the events of the series, he became acquainted with billionaire Bruce Wayne, the two becoming friends. A year before the events of the series, Harvey Dent decided to run for Mayor of Gotham, competing against Hamilton Hill.

At some point he had met Selina Kyle who was new in town. They started dating and Harvey showed her Gotham and the people, not knowing that he uses it to get to Bruce.

### Batman: The Telltale Series

#### *Realm of Shadows*

Harvey first appeared in the episode, attending a fundraiser Bruce had organized to get him funded for his campaign. Whilst Bruce was away, Harvey tried to convince the guests to vote for him, promising change to Gotham and stamp out organized crime in the city. Whilst opening wishing Bruce had attended, Harvey noticed him in the crowd, asking him to welcome the guests. He later when to talk to Bruce, enquiring about his absence from the fundraiser and even asking his help to convince the attenders to vote for him.

After talking to Gotham Gazette reporter Vicki Vale, they noticed known criminal Carmine Falcone arrive to the event. When Bruce confronted him about this, Harvey admitted to inviting him, hoping that the crime-lord would get him into city hall, if swayed in the right direction. The two then met Carmine, though his men didn't allow Harvey to enter the parlor. Bruce is then given the choice to let Harvey attend the meeting or leave him at the fundraiser.

* Let Harvey in
* Talk Alone
If Bruce lets Harvey attend the meeting between him and Falcone, Harvey will be asked to remain silent and remember the things said by both parties.

If Bruce apologies to Harvey and leaves him at the fundraiser. Harvey will be left at the fundraiser by himself, commenting that he'll get a drink from the bar as he leaves.

Harvey later appears at the press conference for the announcement of the "Thomas & Martha Wayne Memorial Hospital". He and Bruce hold the introduction and hands the conference to Bruce, who is either listening to Harvey or texting his butler Alfred. After the press began accusations of Bruce being tied to organized Crime, Harvey asks him to leave and states that his team on damage control will handle these comments.

Bruce later meets Harvey at the Café Triste, where he produces the search warrant GCPD were given by Mayor Hill to raid Wayne Manor. Surprised by this, Harvey was angered, as Hill did not have the right to issue search warrants without his approval. The two discussed what had happened and what they may do whilst these rumors were persistent. During this discussion, it was interrupted by Selina Kyle, whom Harvey had been showing around Gotham. He greeted her and introduced her to Bruce, unaware that the two had met the previous night as Batman and Catwoman. They made conversation, with points of interest being a "mugging" Selina had been in the previous night and a bruised eye she had sustained from it. When it turned to damage control of the Wayne family ties to the Falcone Crime Family, Harvey left the table to call his office and to get it under control. When he returned, Bruce left for "another appointment", despite both his and Selina's pleas to stay for a drink.

#### *Children of Arkham*

The following morning, Harvey was contacted by Bruce and asked by his friend to pull as many strings as he could to get him to talk with Falcone, who had been arrested following an attack by Batman and evidence his friend had given to either Vicki or Lt. James Gordon. They managed to buy some time, with Harvey using as many strings he had to the GCPD to organize this meeting. Whilst at the precinct, the two discussed why Bruce wanted to see the crime lord, including what may happen if news of this got out to the press. *Bruce can also mention about his suspicions about Falcone and his parents' murder to Harvey.* After being shown to the infirmary by Gordon, Harvey left Bruce alone to talk to Falcone.

After Falcone was murdered by a drugged Renee Montoya, who remained unconscious throughout it, Harvey briefly checked on her interrogation, which was being conducted by Gordon. He managed to buy himself and Bruce time to stay, but was angered at what had happened and wondered why she had murdered him. Harvey also showed annoyance, as Falcone's case could have meant they would get to compensate thousands of the crimelord's victims, including those who were not known at the time. Whilst consulting Gordon, he decided that it was best to try and cover up the incident before the press found out about it. Upon hearing that Falcone's lawyers had arrived, Harvey and Gordon left to deal with them. After managing to stall them, they returned to find Montoya had awoken. When Harvey asked what had happened, Bruce can either give him information which she had told him or remain vague/silent about it. After this, Harvey and Bruce left, the former to prepare for that night's debate and the latter, unknown to Harvey, to find a suspect he had.

Harvey was later called by Bruce, shortly before the debate. As the two talked, Harvey revealed that his advisors had suggested that he distanced himself away from him, following the allegations to the Wayne family. However, he asked for Bruce to carry on funding his campaign, as without it, he would be unable to run against Hill.

* Fund Harvey
* Stop funding
If Bruce agrees to continue funding Harvey's campaign, which he will be thankful of, commenting that he will never forget this. Harvey then hangs up the call for the final stages of preparation for the debate.

Whether Bruce will decide to stop funding Harvey's campaign, which he will comment to be disappointing. Harvey then hangs up the call for the final stages of preparation for the debate.

As the debate started, the event was attacked by the Children of Arkham, led by a man in a bird mask. Harvey was held hostage by the group, alongside Hill and others at the debate. Taking over the debate, the masked man, who called himself "the Penguin", had one of his hostages inject both Dent and Hill with a chemical. As the two were forced to argue, under the effects of the chemical, the Children of Arkham showed a video of Thomas Wayne and Hill unjustifiably committing Esther Cobblepot to Arkham Asylum.

During this, the GCPD tried to raid the debate and apprehend the group. Penguin, angry at Hill for what he had done, tried to murder him, but Harvey tried to intervene. Throwing a punch at the masked man, Harvey was beaten down by Penguin, who proceeded to shoot Hill dead. Batman, who had just beaten Blockbuster unconscious, confronted Penguin. However, Penguin responded by shooting wildly at the vigilante, which he dodged. Penguin then threw Harvey on the floor and picked up a stage-light to attack him with. Batman is then left with a choice to either save Dent or Catwoman, who is also in danger.

* Save Harvey Dent
* Save Catwoman
If Batman saves Dent, the prosecutor thanks the vigilante for intervening and he is taken to Gotham General to recover. Bruce later visits Harvey, but remains unconscious during this.

If Batman saves Catwoman, Harvey is attacked with the stage light by Penguin and disfigured. When the GCPD arrives, the paramedics take Dent away, although the event will scare him. Harvey is later seen recovering at Gotham General.

#### *New World Order*

A week after the Children of Arkham attack, Bruce visited Harvey in his hospital room. Having been unopposed, he had been won the Mayoral seat unopposed. *If the player decided to save Selina, Harvey will have bandages wrapped around his forehead and the left side of his face, due to his injuries from the stage light.* When Bruce walked in, Harvey muted the TV and mentions how Bruce brought flowers, as his new secretary and his mother did. He expressed regret at having been unable to stop Penguin, and remark on his humiliation at "getting his face smashed" or relying on Batman to save him, depending on the choice made. Harvey also states his disappointment and heartache over Selina not showing up to visit him, or at least congratulate him on his mayoral achievement.

Harvey also mentions how his therapist and doctors had told him to take it easy, despite his new important position. *If saved during the debate, he remarks how his therapist stated the Children of Arkham's drug might have caused some "issues to resurface and become unmanageable"*. He showed some humor upon seeing the Bat Signal outside the window for the first time. When Bruce announced that he had to tend to something else, he voiced his disappointment and acted mostly normal as he left. After he left, he immediately turned the TV back on or unmuted it, depending on actions the player took during this conversion.

Harvey later left his hospital bed early to give his mayoral acceptance speech and was picked up by his new secretary, Deborah. However, on the way, the Children of Arkham attempted an attack and tried to run them off the road. Forced into an alleyway, what happens depends on the actions taken by the player, as they must choose between Harvey or Sgt. Montoya.

* Save Harvey
* Save Montoya
If Harvey is saved in Montoya's place, Batman will save him and Deborah from the Children of Arkham members. If he was saved from the Penguin, Harvey will show his gratitude towards Batman. However, if he is scarred, he shows no gratitude and instead comments that Batman is a criminal and should watch his back. After this, Batman rushes to help the GCPD in a chemical raid.

If Batman went to save Montoya, he arrives to find that the GCPD officers have already stopped the situation. Harvey had killed one of the attackers and appears grimly in the background.

Harvey's speech can also be seen briefly during Bruce's visit to R&D in Wayne Enterprises. Depending on the actions the player took in the previous episode, he will either approve Batman and his methods (if saved) or voice his opposition to the vigilante (if scared)

Later, Bruce met with Harvey to inform him of Wayne Tech's hacked communications. Depending on the choice made in the previous episode, he will act differently.

* Save Harvey
* Save Selina
If Harvey was saved in the previous episode, he will show extreme paranoia and fear of the Children of Arkham. He expresses that the GCPD should let Batman use whatever methods he wants to deal with the Children of Arkham and that having a police force of vigilantes just like Batman would make Gotham better. Flipping a large silver dollar for emphasis or out of habit, or even a subconscious decision, if encouraged by the player, Harvey will slam his fist on the desk and go into a ramble of overboard security methods. If the player objects, Harvey will still slam the desk, but instead warn Wayne not to "tell Harvey what to do". Shortly after this, Harvey leaves Bruce for a photo shoot.

If Selina saved in the previous episode, Harvey will be wearing half of a fake-face mask over his scarred side. Instead of being paranoid, Harvey expresses sadness at his appearance during his first official portrait as Mayor, and then anger over the Children of Arkham hacking WayneTech. Harvey will start rambling in third-person, in a deeper, raspier, and scarier voice, as if it is a different person, about how he always follows the law, which doesn't seem to work. He will appear to switch, quite abruptly, between his regular personality and this one, arguing to himself over whether or not Harvey is turning things around and if this harsh personality could do better. The second personality starts rambling over the security until Bruce tells him to stop, in which he will then slam his fist on the desk and insult Gotham. Following this, Harvey is called away for a photo shoot, leaving Bruce in his office.

The next morning, Harvey brought coffee and possibly donuts to Selina's apartment to see her and talk about his split personality. Unfortunately, Harvey arrived on the morning after Bruce stayed at hers to recover from an fight with the Children of Arkham. Whether Bruce slept with Selina or not, Harvey shouted at them, feeling a strong sense of betrayal. With his feelings for Selina now broken, his second personality, **Two-Face**, began talking to him, telling him how stupid he was to trust Selina and how neither of them are his friends. *If Batman didn't save Harvey from Penguin, Two-Face will remove the mask and "embrace" his darker side.*

With Two-Face taking control, he decided to "punish" Bruce and Selina for their apparent betrayal, throwing a number of objects at them. Before continuing his assault, Two-Face decided to be fair, flipping his silver dollar to decide which one he would attack. The coin landed at the side he had allocated for Selina, but Bruce stopped him. After hitting Bruce hard, Harvey showed remorse, giving his friend the idea to come between him and Selina to prevent Two-Face from attacking her. With Harvey/Two-Face in chaos, Bruce must decide whether to beat up Harvey or wear him down.

* Beat up Harvey
* Wear down Harvey
If Bruce chooses to beat up Harvey, he will viciously strike him with Selina multiple times, finishing him by slamming his face (the burned side if he is scarred) into the fridgerator.

If Bruce tries to wear him out, he will avoid two of Harvey's punches and dodge to the side, causing Harvey to slam his head into the wall (the unharmed side if he is scarred). Due to Harvey's lack of energy and coordination due to the drug, Harvey's next missed punch sends him falling to the ground clumsily, breaking the table.

After the fight, Harvey began to come around, stating he didn't want to be alone with ["Two-Face"]. After straightening himself, Harvey walked out, away his friends, despite Bruce's attempts to help him.

#### *Guardian of Gotham*

Following Bruce's attack on Oswald Cobblepot, Two-Face had him committed to Arkham Asylum and turned opinion towards the Wayne negatively, in revenge for his adultery with Selina. He also turned Gotham into police state in hopes to defeat the Children of Arkham. After Bruce was released, Two-Face called to threaten his old friend, still bitter for "stealing Selina from him". He explained what had happened during his incarceration, telling him that he should have stayed at Arkham, "where he belonged".

Later, on the news, Two-Face publicly announced that he would seize Bruce's assets. He also blackmailed Commissioner Grogan into giving him the location of the Children of Arkham's drug cache, sending a number of his men to destroy the building. Depending on the player's choice, Bruce will either meet him as himself or Batman.

* Go as Bruce
* Go as Batman
If Bruce goes to meet Two-Face he finds him on the roofs of City Hall. Showing his frustrations, he refuses to negotiate with Bruce, despite his disfigurement. Likening himself to a strong leader, Two-Face orders his men to destroy the city block containing the Sons of Arkham's drugs. He then orders his men to take Bruce to Crime Alley and execute him, but to make it look like a suicide. Bruce remains silent, attacking or threatening him as the guards knock him out and take him away.

Unaware that Bruce is coming to see him, Two-Face sends a small group of his men to assassinate Gordon. Batman meets him on the roof of City Hall, making his presence known. Depending on whether the player saved him from Penguin or not, Two-Face will act differently to him. *If he was saved, he will act friendly towards Batman, though will be suprised for his stance towards Wayne. However, if Penguin disfigured him, he will act aggressively towards him, blaming him for his disfigurement and refusing to negotiate.*
Despite Batman's attempt to get him to stop his crusade against Bruce, Two-Face will refuse to help him, seeing him as bad as Hill, Falcone and the Children of Arkham. He then orders the destruction of the warehouse holding the Children of Arkham's drugs. Revealing his orders to murder Gordon to Batman, the vigilante attacked him, threatening violence. Revealing that he had Gordon taken to Crime Alley, Batman let Two-Face go and fled as his enforcers opened fire at him. Afterwards, he and his men left to try and take Wayne Manor by force.

Later, Two-Face and his men tried to take over Wayne Manor. Batman was forced, once again, to make the decision on what to do, as Penguin was in the process of hacking his tech. Depending on the choice made, the following outcomes will occur.

* Stop Penguin
* Stop Two-Face
If Batman decided to stop Penguin, leaving Two-Face to take Wayne Manor, he can be seen outside the burning Wayne Manor, telling his men to spread the word that "Wayne put up a fight."

#### *City of Light*

Five days later, Dent now silences the opposition and rules the city through brute force. The Gotham media has even taken to calling him "Two-Face", for his betrayal and possible disfigurement. After sending his squad to GCPD headquarters to silence Commissioner Grogan, Dent takes Jack Ryder, Deborah, and several civilians and terrorists hostage, holding them at Wayne Manor.

As Bruce arrives to talk, Two-Face continually choosing their fates with a flip of his coin. As his men guard him, he voices his anger for Bruce's betrayal and Gotham's up rise against him. Executing a hostage, Two-Face then decides the fate of another and Deborah, whom he releases, either though Bruce telling him to release them or the coin deciding to do so. Finally pointing a gun at Ryder, Bruce can either finally get though to Harvey, suggests to kill him instead or calls him insane. *Depending on what is said, Harvey will taken control and try to commit suicide, seeing himself for what he is, or Two-Face goaded on to kill Bruce and Ryder.*

Flipping the coin to decide their fate, it is caught by Bruce before it can land. Demanding a result, Bruce either pockets the coin or throws it other a banister. *Harvey/Two-Face will leap after it if the latter is chosen, injuring himself in the process.* Left indecisive, Harvey/Two-Face is taken away by the GCPD to receive help at a mental institution (possibly to be Arkham Asylum). This also inadvertently helps Bruce restore his reputation in the public eye, having put his life in danger to save others.If Batman decides to stop Two-Face and his men, Dent arrives and discovers Alfred waiting there, ready to attack. Despite his pleas to let him and his men pass, Alfred refuses. After two of his men are defeated, Batman confronts Two-Face. "Depending on whether he saved him or not, he will either insist that Batman help him defeat Wayne or scold him for not saving him from the Penguin." As his men attack, Batman fights and defeats them as Two-Face prepares to join the fight.

With a machine gun fitted with "Explosive Slugs", Two-Face opens fire on Batman, forcing the vigilante to ascend to the second floor of the hallway. After getting a shot in, Two-Face has his men hold Batman as he prepares to execute him. However, Alfred interviens, shooting him in the shoulder. As Alfred's gun jams, Two-Face flips the coin to decide how he should kill the butler. However, Batman summons a swarm of bats to distract the men and throws a Batarang into the machine gun's chamber, destroying the gun and setting Dent's left arm on fire. Batman puts out the blaze, but not before his left side is completely burnt. After being defeated, Two-Face and his men are turned over to the GCPD. Depending on Batman's suggestion, he is sent either to Blackgate Prison (where murderers deserve to be) or Arkham Asylum (where he has a hope of recovering).

*If Batman chose the latter, Two-Face will appear in his cell during Lady Arkham's release of the inmates, unable to decide whether to escape or stay.*
### Batman: The Enemy Within

Following Harvey's arrest, Gotham's citizens, police, and media alike would know him by his nickname, regardless of his disfigurement. Although he was sent to Blackgate or Arkham Asylum, his court case would continually be delayed as his legal team withdrew. Because of this, Harvey decided to represent himself. *If Batman stopped Penguin from hacking into his technology, Wayne Manor can be seen undergoing repairs from Harvey's attack*. Batman also kept a display in the Batcave, containing his coin (if it was saved during the debate), his mask (if it was defaced), and one of his campaign signs.

## Personality

Before the Children of Arkham's attack on the Mayoral debate, Harvey was a kind and considerate person, willing to protect Gotham through legal means. He was also very warm and easy to approach. However, following this event, he began developing a split personality, due to the chemical Vicki Vale injected him with. As his other persona, Two-Face, Dent was aggressive, violent, vulgar, carless, ruthless, yet unhinged and unstable. Using the coin to determine who lives and dies, without it he was desperate and weak, going far to jump to his injures in *City of Light* to gain the coin, or falling in defeat if Bruce put it in his pocket.

## Victims

* Children of Arkham member (determined)
* Multiple innocent people in building (indirectly with bombs to destroy the Children of Arkham's drugs)
* Innocent hostage (two determined)
* Peter Grogan (*Caused, Determinant*)

## Relationships

### Bruce Wayne

Harvey and Bruce became friends at least a year before the events of the series. Bruce is one of Harvey's biggest supporters in his mayoral campaign and his biggest investor. With Harvey's help, Bruce could obtain legal assistance through his office and have Carmine Falcone examined by the strings, while the crime lord was in custody and even during the Wayne Family scandal. When Harvey's advisors asked him to distance himself from him, the two maintained a close relationship, although Harvey could lose Bruce's financial backing.

But their friendship ended, when he found Bruce at his girlfriend Selina Kyle's apartment, depending on whether they had an affair, Harvey felt betrayed and tried to attack them. Shortly after, Harvey sent Bruce to Arkham Asylum after his attack on Cobblepot, as a form of revenge. When I hear that he was released, I call him to threaten him. Later, he announced that he would seize Wayne's assets. If he confronted his friend, Two-Face would refuse to negotiate with him.

If the Penguin was defeated first, Two-Face confronts Bruce at Wayne Manor after burning it down. Bruce tries to reason with him, but Two-Face expresses his anger at his betrayal and for stealing Selina from him. Even though he ended up defeated by Bruce or Batman, he could still hold a grudge against his old friend.

### Selina Kyle

Harvey had met Selina some time before the events of the series and they had been dating, but Selina claims that the two were not in a romantic relationship, although Harvey did have feelings for her. He also didn't know that she was the thief Catwoman and that she was using him to get to Bruce. After seeing Bruce in his apartment, his feelings for Selina completely broke down, causing his split personality to take over. It is unknown what he planned as an act of revenge against his ex-girlfriend, although it is likely that he would have attacked her if he had known she was still in Gotham.

### James Gordon

Harvey did not know Lieutenant Gordon particularly well, but the two seemed to respect each other, as Gordon mentions that Harvey was "the only district attorney he trusted to make a conviction." However, they would come to disagreement over several issues, including how to deliver the press release of Falcone's murder. After Harvey's mental breakdown due to the Arkham drug, Two-Face's fractured mind was willing to arrange Gordon's execution, especially when confronted by the corrupt mayor. These antagonistic feelings may have remained when Harvey was imprisoned.

### Hamilton Hill

Harvey had a very bad relationship with the former mayor of Gotham, Hill called him a fool, while Harvey called him a criminal. This was due to their rivalry as mayoral nominees. However, Harvey put this aside when Penguin was about to kill Hill, punching him to save him. Later, he told Bruce that he felt guilty about Hill's murder, and that he had won for that, as well as for being the only one of the three on stage to survive: him, Hill, and the moderator, respectively.

### Enemies

* Alfred Pennyworth - former friend
* Gotham Police Department - former allies
	+ Peter Grogan †
	+ Renee Montoya
* Children of Arkham
	+ Vicki Vale/Lady Arkham - false-ally and manipulator
	+ Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin - enemy and attacker
	+ Roland Desmond/Blockbuster
* Carmine Falcone †

## Apperances

* Harvey's appearance in City of Light depends on whether the player chooses to fight either him or Penguin in Guardian of Gotham.
	+ Harvey can also appear in Arkham if he was sent to Arkham in Guardian of Gotham.

## Trivia

* Two-Face created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane
* Two-Face's voice actor, Travis Willingham, is married to Laura Bailey, the voice actress for Selina Kyle/Catwoman in the series. It seems somewhat of a coincidence that he had romantic feelings for Selina during the first season.
* It is possible to prevent the disfigurement that turns Harvey into Two-Face, but he will still develop the split personality and be called "Two-Face" after his descent into villainy.
	+ Regardless if both sides match, Harvey/Two-Face will still use the coin to make decisions. This contradicts a recurring element for Two-Face's character, as some versions do not require the coin to make decisions if their entire face matches.

* Depending on dialogue options, Harvey can reference having failed to protect someone he cared about. This is a possible reference to his brother, Murray Dent, who died during a fire when Harvey was too scared to help him.
* Despite being the tertiary antagonist of the first season, Harvey/Two-Face serves as the main antagonist of *Guardian of Gotham*.
* If the player saves Catwoman in *Children of Arkham* and confronts Two-Face in *Guardian of Gotham*, his appearance will change to resemble his comic book counterpart.
* This version of Two-Face is shown to be taller than Batman/Bruce, whereas in most media he is roughly the same height as him.
* Despite his muscular build, he went down pretty easily when he tried to punch Penguin, who simply dodged and knocked him to the floor with just one hit.
