The Joker may be a real piece of work in The Dark Knight, but he's not the only character to get under viewers' skin. After Harvey Dent falls prey to The Joker's trap, half of his face is horribly burned, leading to The Joker manipulating him into becoming the vengeful villain known as Two-Face.

Arguably the character's best scene in the entire film is his introduction in the hospital, where Jim Gordon visits him and Dent removes the gauze covering his wound for the first time.

Christopher Nolan smartly keeps the burned half of Dent's face concealed from the audience during the conversation, as Dent asks Gordon about the nickname ("Harvey Two-Face") other cops had for him, before finally turning to the camera to reveal his grotesquely disfigured face.

The jaw-droppingly impressive visual effects and the fact that Nolan managed to get such horrific injury detail into a PG-13 movie, complete with exposed bone, is staggering. The Joker may have had the disturbing parlour tricks, but the extent of Dent's disfigurement is one of the most visually repulsive things to ever make it into a superhero movie.
