Overview:
Harvey Dent has an unquenchable thirst for justice; it was what lead him to become an attorney and what drove him to become District Attorney. Harvey had the reputation as being “incorruptible” having worked in Internal Affairs before moving to the DA’s office and having seen the corruption of the police first hand he is dedicated to putting criminals behind bars cop or not. His time in IA made him somewhat cynical and mistrustful of the police department with the exception of James Gordon who Dent saw as willfully ignorant of the misdeeds of the officers under him. Even after becoming Two-Face that sense of justice did not disappear but instead became corrupted and in so doing turned a man deemed incorruptible into someone with a twisted view of justice and fairness in the world. At first Harvey’s madness was due to Rachel dying at the hands of the Joker but then it expanded and he soon placed all his faith and decisions into his burned coin. Even his decision to commit crimes is based on the flip of the coin causing what some call a dual personality disorder and what leads Batman to believe that unlike criminals like the Joker Harvey can be saved.

Harvey Dent was born into a life of hardship. Growing up in a lower-class family, Dent was raised with an instinctive dislike and mistrust for the upper-class. His hard work ethic, however, allowed him to rise to become a lawyer and, eventually, the District Attorney. Harvey started his work in Internal Affairs reporting corrupt cops and this led to him receiving the nickname Harvey “Two-Face”. As the Gotham City district attorney, Harvey Dent was hailed as the city's "White Knight;" he is getting more and more successful in rounding up all the criminals that plague Gotham City. Batman and Lieutenant James Gordon contemplate bringing Dent in on their plan to eradicate the mob, and the possibility that Dent will become the hero to the people that Batman cannot be. At the same time, Dent is dating his Assistant District Attorney Rachel Dawes and is planning to marry her.
The mob bosses see this combined effort of Dent, Batman, Gordon, and Gotham City Police taking their money and see this as a threat. After Batman arrests their Chinese accountant, Lau, they hire an insane crime mastermind known as The Joker to kill the hero. At the fundraising party, Dent takes Rachel in a private area and asks if she will marry him. Before she can give a full answer, Dent is locked in a room just as the Joker interrupts the party, wanting to know where Dent is so that he can kill him. When the Joker cannot find Dent, he states that he will settle for his loved ones and proceeds to talk with Rachel; however, Batman arrives and takes on the Joker.
The next day, at a public service memorial for the late Commissioner, the Joker, disguised as a military official, shoots at the mayor of the city, but at the last moment Jim Gordon jumps in front of him getting shot in the back, yet saving the mayor. Dent manages to capture and interrogate a thug working for the Joker, however his interrogation is interrupted by Batman who tells Dent that he needs to reveal who he truly is in order to save Gotham and stop the killings. At a press conference held by Dent the next day, Wayne is about to step forth but before he can do so, Dent publicly admits to being "the Batman" to draw the Joker out of hiding. Arrested and in route to re-location, Dent’s transport is ambushed by the Joker and a semi-rig full of his henchmen and thugs. The Joker attempts to kill Dent during transport, but wounds up captured by Batman and Gordon, who faked his death. Harvey gets out of the truck and into a cruiser, and says he is off to see his girlfriend. Later, the now Commissioner Gordon, after reuniting with his family, gets a call explaining that Harvey never made it home.
Dent wakes up tied to a chair, in a warehouse filled with gasoline barrels and a bomb, with a telephone planted so he can talk to Rachel, who is in a similar location away from there. The two reassure each other that everything will be okay as Dent attempts to escape but fails and falls and the left side of his face is immersed in oil. Batman arrives to rescue him (although expecting Rachel to be there), and as Dent is carried away of the warehouse by the hero, it explodes igniting the oil that saturated Dent's face. Harvey wakes up in the hospital with a large bandage over half of his face, finds his now burnt two-headed coin, and screams out in his frustration behind losing the one person he loved. Commissioner Gordon visits Dent and tries to tell him how sorry he is for what has transpired, questioning why Dent refused skin grafts and how he can stand to be in unrelenting agony over his disfigurement. Harvey is filled with rage for Gordon not listening to him when he warned Gordon not to trust the corrupt officers that Dent investigated during his time in Internal Affairs which has resulted in Dent's disfigurement and ultimately Rachel's death.
The Joker then arrives at the recently-evacuated hospital where Dent is and talks to him, convincing Dent to exact revenge on the cops, mobsters, Gordon and Batman for killing his love. The Joker then gives Dent his gun and points it at his own head, telling Dent to "introduce a little anarchy". Dent picks up his coin and explains the rules: shiny side, he lives; burnt side, he dies; which the Joker finds amusing. He then flips it, but finds the Joker innocent and allows him to live. Dent takes the gun and his coin and leaves as the Clown Prince of Crime blows up the hospital. "Two-Face" now confronts the corrupt cops and the mobsters one by one, flipping his coin to decide their fates. He kills a corrupt cop named Wurtz, faces Maroni in his car. Although the coin spares Maroni, it condemns his driver, and the car to crashes. Two-Face confronts Ramirez, forcing her to call Gordon's family and tell his wife and two sons to meet him at the exact spot where Rachel was killed. Afterwards, Two-Face flips a coin for Ramirez's life and it lands on the clean side, so he just knocks her out and heads on. As Gordon arrives at the building where the Joker is keeping people hostage, he gets a call from his family telling him they are being held captive by Two-Face in the place where Rachel was killed. Gordon rushes off to save his family as Batman breaks in to the building.
Gordon arrives to see Two-Face holding his family hostage. Two-Face knocks him to the ground tells him that he is going to make him suffer just as he did, as he grabs his young son Jimmy and prepares to flip the coin for his fate. Batman arrives and tells him to stop, and to blame the people responsible for Rachel's death. So then Two-Face flips the coin for Batman, which lands on the burnt, scarred side, and Two-Face shoots him. He then flips the coin for himself and it lands on the clean side. As he is flipping the coin for Gordon's son, he tells Gordon to lie to the boy and tell him that everything will be alright, just as Dent himself had to tell Rachel earlier seconds before she was killed. Batman gets up and tackles him and they fall off of the building together. Batman hands Jimmy up to Gordon as Batman himself falls to the ground next to Two-Face. Two-Face was believed to be dead but survived and quietly began recruiting to exact revenge on not just Batman and Gordon but all of Gotham and all who stood against him.
