Since 1989, Two-Face (or his alter-ego Harvey Dent) has featured in various Batman-related media. These have ranged from live-action films to television, animated series and films, and video games. The following is a list of Dent's various appearances in non-comic media and the actors who have portrayed him.
Live-Action[]
Film[]
Batman film[]
- See: Harvey Dent (Burtonverse) (played by Billy Dee Williams)
Harvey Dent made his media debut in Tim Burton's 1989 Batman film, played by Billy Dee Williams. The film's incarnation is depicted as Gotham's new District Attorney and one of the close allies of Mayor Borg and Commissioner Gordon. Dent does not return in the sequel Batman Returns. However, the character returns in the comic series Batman '89, which depicts his transformation into Two-Face and conflict with Batman.
Batman Forever[]
- See: Two-Face (Schumacherverse) (played by Tommy Lee Jones)
Two-Face appears as one of the main villains in the third Batman anthology film Batman Forever, played by Tommy Lee Jones. Having previously been disfigured between the events of the film and its predecessors, Dent targets Batman under a vendetta for failing to prevent his disfigurement. The film also shows him joining forces with the Riddler. Unlike most versions, Two-Face appears to be more dominant and less reliant on the coin, at one point even flipping it to gain his desired outcome. Though initially praised at the time, Forever's version of Two-Face has faced growing criticism over the years, often for the more manic depiction.

Harvey Dent serves as one of the main characters in Christopher Nolan's second Batman film The Dark Knight, played by Aaron Eckhart. Based heavily on the character's depiction in Batman: The Long Halloween, he is Gotham's new District Attorney who allies with Batman and Lt. Gordon to take down Gotham's organized crime. Dent is also depicted to be in a relationship with Rachel Dawes, putting him in a love-triangle with Bruce Wayne. During the Joker's reign of terror, Dent is disfigured and loses Rachel in a scheme organized by Joker and Maroni, leading to him taking on brutal vigilantism to take down those he deems responsible for his tragedy. Eckhart's performance and the depiction of a pre-disfigured Harvey Dent has been widely well received, though the film's depiction of Two-Face has received mixed reactions.
Dent also appears in flashbacks in The Dark Knight Rises, which reuses footage from the previous film. The character's legacy serves as one of the major plot points in the film, with Batman and Gordon having covered up his vigilantism to create a new order in Gotham. However, Bane and the League of Shadows expose the truth as part of their schemes to tear apart the city's political system and as part of their revenge against Batman.
