10 Things Every DC Comics Fan Forgets About Two-Face

8. He Has A Complicated Relationship With A GCPD Detective

Two Face
DC Comics

Two-Face found love in the most unlikely of places, but it was a love that was entirely one-sided. During the “No Man’s Land” saga where Gotham City was ravaged by a devastating earthquake and temporarily cut off from the rest of the nation by governmental mandate, Gotham City Police Detective Renee Montoya and Two-Face met. Renee appealed to the Harvey side of his persona and was kind to him.

At one point, Dent sent flowers to Renee and she came to visit him in Arkham Asylum. Dent mistook this kindness for affection and began to fall in love with the detective. Montoya rejected Harvey and that unrequited love turned into an obsession. Two-Face framed the detective for murder, outed her as a lesbian, and orchestrated a prison break to make her a fugitive. Dent did all of this to leave Renee with nothing so she would have to come running to him. It didn’t happen.

Even after all the hell that Two-Face put her through, Renee still saved Harvey’s life. Now the faceless hero The Question, Renee stops Two-Face from killing himself by convincing the Harvey Dent side of his persona that he is still a good man.
