8 Worst Things Two-Face Has Ever Done

6. He Tried To Put Gordon On Trial

Two Face Gordon Trial
DC Comics

The nineties may be reviled as a dark age for comic books, but one character who emerged from that decade with his head held high was Batman. Stories like Knightfall and the many featured within the pages of the Legends of the Dark Knight comic ranked among the character's greatest works, and though No Man's Land - another book from that era - isn't as good, it's still a pivotal tale in DC's history.

The book revolved around Gotham being excommunicated from the United States and the city itself being partitioned between various Batman criminals. Two-Face, as one of the Caped Crusader's biggest adversaries, got in on the act, vying for territory with other criminals whilst also dealing with the remnants of the GCPD.

Eventually, Two-Face is defeated by a resurgent Bane. In response, he kidnaps Gordon and places him on trial. Cross examining him as both his attorney and as the prosecution, with Dent heading up the former, and Big Bad Harv' leading the latter.

Fortunately for Gordon, Dent manages to win in the end. Had he failed though, there's a good chance the commissioner could've been killed.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
