Harvey Dent started out as one of Gotham's most respected lawyers—genuinely committed to cleaning up the city's corrupt system. That all changed when half his face got burned and scarred, which basically broke something in him psychologically. The trauma didn't just affect his appearance; it fundamentally warped his personality and worldview.
He became Two-Face, a criminal obsessed with the idea of duality and balance. Rather than make decisions himself, he relies on a two-headed coin flip to determine his actions—which is both his most recognizable quirk and a sign of how fractured his mind became. Fans often interpret this as his way of coping with the loss of moral certainty, though it's just as much a rationalization for embracing chaos and violence.
