History

Batman: Under the Red Hood

Two-Face is briefly mentioned by Red Hood during his final confrontation with Batman and Joker in Batman: Under the Red Hood. He lists off Dent alongside Penguin and Scarecrow as previous enemies he and Batman had fought.

DC Showcase: Batman: Death in the Family

Two-Face makes his first on-screen appearance in DC Showcase: Batman: Death in the Family. In the version of the story where Jason dies in the warehouse explosion (the same version as the original Under the Red Hood movie) as retold by Batman to Superman, Bruce mentions that Two-Face killed Jason's father at some point prior to him becoming Robin.

In the version of the story where Batman is killed by Joker and Jason chooses to take revenge against him and go on the run, Two-Face is shown robbing a jewelry store with his gang before coming into conflict with the murderous vigilante Red Robin. After a brief skirmish during which Red Robin kills all of Two-Face's men, Two-Face manages to get the upper hand after the vigilante is struck in the head and disoriented. Preparing to finish him off, Two-Face decides to leave the former Robin's fate to chance and flips his coin. The player is given the option to decide whether Two-Face's coin lands on the heads side or the tails side.

If the coin lands on heads, Two-Face continues with his plan to kill Red Robin. However, he is knocked unconscious by Tim Drake using a taser previously knocked away from Red Robin by Two-Face. As he lies on the ground, Red Robin plans to execute him but is talked down by Drake. Two-Face is spared and presumably apprehended by police.

If the coin lands on tails, Two-Face decides to spare Red Robin. He mocks him for becoming a bloodthirsty criminal in direct opposition to what Batman would have wanted, calling him "a perfect failure". Believing that it is crueler to leave Jason alive, Two-Face exits the building before the police arrive.
