Gilda Dent is a fictional character who has appeared in Batman comic books since Detective Comics #66 (August 1942), alongside her fiancée Harvey Dent (soon to be the criminal mastermind Two-Face). She has since been a recurring character throughout Batman stories with Two-Face.

Pre-Crisis history
In her first appearance, Gilda Dent was the fiancée of Harvey Kent (later renamed Dent), the brilliant and handsome district attorney of Gotham City. When acid was thrown into Harvey's face by gangster Boss Moroni, his fragile mind snapped. Because Gilda was a sculptor, Harvey believed that Gilda worshipped beauty and that she, nor anyone else, could ever love or accept so "hideous" a monster as he. She created a bust of Harvey, which he smashed with a mallet to symbolize his new self. As Two-Face began a dual career of crime and Robin Hood-style philanthropy, he nonetheless longed passionately for Gilda, and she for him.

In Detective Comics # 80 (1943), she was in the audience when Two-Face and his gang tried to rob a classical concert. Gilda followed Two-Face to his hideout, just as Batman and Robin burst in. When Two-Face, having the drop on the caped crusader, pulled his gun and fired upon his former ally, Gilda leapt in front of the bullet. Pleading to Harvey that she had to make him "understand… before it was too late…", she passed out, shocking Two-Face into thinking he killed her. He turned himself in, realizing that he'd been a "blind fool," and Gilda was sent to the hospital.

When Harvey learned from that doctors that "she doesn't seem to want to live! She keeps saying over and over, Kent doesn't love me enough! Kent doesn't love me!", he vowed to give up his life of crime for good. After a final tussle with the last of Two-Face's men, Harvey underwent plastic surgery and was released from jail after one year. His face and sanity restored, Harvey Kent promised to finally marry Gilda.

However, Harvey's sanity was short-lived. When he tried to intercept a group of bank robbers, he was caught in an explosion of dynamite that undid the plastic surgery, dooming him to be "Two-Face… FOREVER!"
