While Two-Face did not appear in Batman (1966), several scripts featuring the character were developed and Clint Eastwood was allegedly slated to play the role at one point.[3] The most prominent of the scripts, submitted by New Wave science fiction author Harlan Ellison, was eventually adapted into the 2015 comic Batman '66: The Lost Episode.[4]
The Harvey Dent incarnation of Two-Face appears in the Robot Chicken episode "The Ramblings of Maurice", voiced by Neil Patrick Harris. He repeatedly disfigures his face, leading to him renaming himself accordingly several times.

The Harvey Dent incarnation of Two-Face appears in Beware the Batman, voiced by Christopher McDonald.[11] This version is opposed to vigilantism and, in an effort to take down Batman, joins forces with Anarky and Deathstroke. While attempting to intervene in a confrontation between Batman and Deathstroke however, Dent is heavily scarred in an explosion, with Anarky mockingly dubbing him "Two-Face". His sanity gone and career ruined, Dent removes his bandages and goes into hiding.

The Harvey Dent incarnation of Two-Face appears in Harley Quinn, voiced by Andy Daly.[11] This version does not have a split personality, is blind in one eye, and is power-hungry, a trait that he possessed before becoming Two-Face. Additionally, he is a member of the Legion of Doom in the first season and founding member of the Injustice League in the second season. In the latter season, Two-Face and the League take advantage of the chaos the Joker caused when he destroyed Gotham City by dividing what was left between them. After they refuse to give Harley Quinn a fair share, she sets about dismantling the League. In response, Two-Face and fellow remaining member Bane attempt to consolidate their remaining power, though the former refuses to see the latter as an equal partner. Two-Face is later arrested by Commissioner Gordon, though he manipulates him into busting Kite Man and Poison Ivy's wedding to gain public support for a mayoral campaign before briefly joining forces with Harley to break out of Arkham Asylum. In the third season, Two-Face assists Gordon in his campaign using unethical methods, such as killing the sitting mayor, to regain his previous position as district attorney until Gordon eventually realizes the error of his ways and helps fellow mayoral candidate the Joker defeat Two-Face.
First appearing in Batman: The Animated Series (1992), this version developed dissociative identity disorder as a result of years of repressed anger, which led to the creation of an alternate personality called "Big Bad Harv". After initially making minor appearances, with his most notable seeing him being brainwashed by Poison Ivy into dating her as part of an attempt on his life, Two-Face's self-titled two-part episode sees Dent's condition resurface amidst his engagement to Grace Lamont, his D.A. reelection campaign, and crime boss Rupert Thorne stealing his therapy records to use as blackmail material. The combined stress of these events causes "Big Bad Harv" to reemerge and attack Thorne. Batman attempts to intervene, but the fight triggers an explosion that severely scars the left side of Dent's face and body. Driven mad by his disfigurement, Dent reinvents himself as the gangster "Two-Face". In subsequent episodes, Two-Face becomes a crime boss in his own right, joins forces with other Gotham supervillains, and fights Batman several times.
Two-Face returns in The New Batman Adventures. In the episode "Sins of the Father", he indirectly contributes to Tim Drake becoming Robin by murdering the boy's father, petty criminal Steven "Shifty" Drake. In the episode "Judgment Day", Dent's psyche fractures once more, creating a third personality called "The Judge" (voiced by Malachi Throne), a vigilante who apprehends criminals through extreme measures.

Film
Live-action
Batman (1989, 1995)
A young Harvey Dent appears in Batman (1989), portrayed by Billy Dee Williams. This version is Gotham City's newly elected district attorney. Williams was originally set to portray Dent's transformation into Two-Face in the sequels before Burton was removed as director in the third film and Williams was recast. The Batman '89 comic serves as an alternate continuity that features Williams's Dent becoming Two-Face.
The Harvey Dent incarnation of Two-Face appears in Batman Forever, portrayed by Tommy Lee Jones. Following the incident that led to him becoming Two-Face, which plays out as it does in the Golden Age comics, he refers to himself using plural pronouns and swears revenge against Batman, whom he blames for failing to save him. Additionally, he is aided by two molls, the angelic "Sugar" (portrayed by Drew Barrymore) and the tempestuous "Spice" (portrayed by Debi Mazar), and murders the Flying Graysons, indirectly leading to sole survivor Dick Grayson eventually becoming Robin. While on a crime spree, Two-Face joins forces with the Riddler to learn Batman's secret identity. However, Batman throws several identical coins at Two-Face while he is flipping his coin, causing the latter to scramble for it and fall to his death.
The Dark Knight trilogy

Harvey Dent appears in the early scripts for Batman Begins, but was ultimately cut and replaced by original character Rachel Dawes. According to writer David S. Goyer, the main reason for this was because he and the production team realized they "couldn't do him justice".[12]
The Harvey Dent incarnation of Two-Face appears in The Dark Knight, portrayed by Aaron Eckhart. This version is depicted as a tragic hero who lacks the gimmickry and dissociative identity disorder commonly associated with the character, and is nicknamed "Gotham's White Knight" due to his public image as a crusader for justice. Additionally, he utilizes a two-headed peace dollar to make important decisions and is in a relationship with Rachel Dawes. He is elected to the office of District Attorney, having previously served in the Gotham City Police Department (GCPD)'s internal affairs division, and forms a tenuous alliance with Batman and GCPD Lieutenant Jim Gordon to eliminate Gotham's organized crime. However, corrupt police officers working for mob boss Sal Maroni and the Joker kidnap Dent and Dawes and hold them prisoner in two abandoned buildings set to explode. Despite the GCPD's efforts, Dawes is subsequently killed. While Batman narrowly rescues Dent, the latter is left disfigured and one side of his coin is damaged. The Joker visits Dent in the hospital and persuades him to exact revenge against those he believes are responsible for Dawes' death. After killing Maroni and a GCPD officer who betrayed him, Dent takes Gordon's family hostage. Batman intervenes, persuading Dent to judge him, Gordon, and himself for pressuring the Gotham mob into working with the Joker. Dent shoots Batman and spares himself, but Batman tackles him off a ledge before he can judge Gordon's son. Dent falls to his death and Batman takes the blame for the murders he committed to ensure that he is remembered as a hero.
Dent's legacy plays a role in The Dark Knight Rises. Eight years after his death, the "Dent Act" legislation has all but eradicated Gotham's organized crime. Having become the GCPD's commissioner by this time, Gordon considers publicly revealing the truth of Dent's crime spree, but eventually decides that Gotham is not ready.[13] However, Bane acquires the speech regarding the cover-up and reads it on live television, calling Dent and Gordon hypocrites to undermine confidence in the legal system and throw Gotham's social order into chaos. Following Batman's sacrifice and the League of Shadows' defeat, Batman is honored as Gotham's true hero while the Dent Act is repealed and Dent's legacy is tarnished.

Upon capturing them, Two-Face deduces their secret identities and leaves them for Gotham's other villains so he can turn the entire city into Two-Faces. Batman and Robin eventually catch up to and defeat him before Dent fights off the evil essence. Reverting to normal, he loses Two-Face's memory of the Dynamic Duo's identities.[17]

Two-Face later declines Strange's offer to help him become Dent again before Strange informs him of Catwoman's attempted theft of his valuables. After thwarting her heist, he kidnaps her and puts her on trial in a kangaroo court to stake his claim in Arkham City. Before he can kill her, Batman rescues Catwoman and joins her in subduing Two-Face.

Two-Face invokes martial law on Gotham and terrorizes its citizens during his efforts to defeat the Children of Arkham.
