I've talked about the Robins and their relationship with Penguin, Poison Ivy and The Riddler. But I was also thinking about the relationship they have with Two Face and that really struck me because he is my favourite and the possibilities are just *chef kiss*.

Dick: My parents were murdered. Now, I live with Batman. I guess Batman is my dad now? I don’t know. I like living with him.

Two Face: So you’re adopted?

Dick: No. It’s called being a “ward” but I don’t know what that means.

Two Face, confused now: What did the lawyer say? At the hearing?

Dick: Oh, that Batman probably used a lot of money to make sure he got me. That he probably bribed the judge and everybody else involved. I don’t know, I wasn’t really listening, I was colouring.

Two Face: That’s… illegal, actually.

Dick: Colouring?

Two Face: No, sweetie. Now, do you remember what that lawyer and judge were called? I have to pay them a professional visit.

Jason: Fuck you, you killed my dad.

Two Face: What? Fuck, no I didn’t. He’s literally tied up over there. Wait? The Bat isn’t your real father?

Jason: Fuck you

Two Face: Did he at least adopt you? Properly? Because the last one-

Jason: Fuck you

Two Face: Do you kiss your mother with that mouth, young man?

Jason: *attacks*

Two Face: So, let me get this straight. You’re working officially for Bats about six hours every day, not including work you do outside of designated hours while going to school?

Tim: About right?

Two Face: And you don’t get paid? What about time off?

Tim: *shrugs*

Two Face: *dialing Jim Gordon because this is the most flagrant abuse of child labour law he has ever seen in his career*

Steph: No, I’m not adopted. Or fostered. My parents don’t know I’m here.

Two Face: *dialing Jim Gordon*

Two Face: What the fuck are you?

Damian: The blood son of the Bat. All the while you are just a picture frame in my father’s desk drawer.

Two Face:

Two Face: Does… Batman still talk about me? Like he used to?

Damian: He has been known to gaze longingly at your photograph sometimes. It is quite moving. And disturbing, he should not be lusting over a criminal.

Two Face: Would you be willing to inform the Joker of this?

Damian: You will use it to disarm him through the threat of you as a romantic “Lenore” figure in my father’s mind whom he still holds a candle for? In an effort to dismantle his sanity further?

Two Face: Yes.

Damian: I can do that.

So you’re a Seb fan excited about Harvey! But where to begin? AKA The Super Fan’s easy guide to Harvey Dent Part 1: Comics

Part 1 of 3. So Harvey has been around since 1942, with Bucky since 1941. With a history this long, I know it’s extremely intimidating to try to figure out where to start. Here’s my guide to a few things from every media category.

But most importantly, please be respectful of those with D.I.D. (Dissociative Identity Disorder). I don’t think anyone expects a fanfic writer to do a lot of research on a disorder, but please be aware of harmful stereotypes. D.I.D. is a disability. Harvey is a disabled man, both physically and mentally. If you all can be respectful to Bucky, you can be respectful to Harvey.

Finally, Harvey Dent is not Bucky. So many people are already making that mistake. BruHarvey is not Stucky. Also, Harvey is his own character with his own complexities, desires, and challenges. He doesn’t have to be a passive figure for Bruce. However, I have included some notes on what BruHarvey headcanon potential. BruHarvey is NOT canon in any media (yet?). If BruHarvey potential is what you really want, then go by the Video Games.

TLDR: Outside of Batman: The Animated Series and the comics, I recommend the video games (Telltale Batman and Batman Arkham) for the best depiction of Harvey. If you can’t play it, just watch the cut scenes! Other than that, I hope this guide is helpful! Let me know if you have any questions! Please think about "liking" and reblogging. I worked very hard on this.

First, a short clip from Batman: Arkham City will give you an idea of Harvey’s personality and story quickly. The acting is excellent. Troy Baker kills it as Harvey every time.

Here, Harvey has been captured by psychiatrist Dr. Hugo Strange, who decides to interview Harvey.

Comics: Batman Annual 14 : Eye of the Beholder: The quintessential Harvey Dent story that basically every Harvey Dent story has taken some influence from for decades.

The Long Halloween and Dark Victory: The most famous of Harvey’s stories and some of the most popular Batman stories. There has been a recent update to The Long Halloween. I’ll call it The Long Halloween 1.5. It’s a great story with a controversial ending. It’s best I don’t give any hints to the plot. However, this is one of the first comics that depict Harvey, Gordon and Batman working together. It also goes into Harvey’s home life, his career, and his investigations.

I would say that Reeves is likely using these two books for the next movies. The Long Halloween features Gilda heavily, but Dark Victory doesn’t.

Batman Year One: Another version that shows how Batman befriends Harvey and Gordon and how they work together. Yes, it focuses on Batman, but it’s a really good comic! The photo below is infamous in the fandom and influenced a lot of fanfic writers.

No Man’s Land: It has a messed-up Harvey Dent romance arc. The book version is better, but Harvey looks good here in the comics. Essentially, Gotham City suffers a major earthquake, leaving it isolated from much of the rest of the world. The United States government essentially abandons it, making it a free-for-all. The story is about survival. Very good story, too. Harvey is also in it as a gang leader.

Harleen Quinzel: A great Harley Quinn book, but the book's portrayal of Harvey is great. The book portrays him as far colder and harder on crime than other depictions of Harvey, and that's saying something. The art is also gorgeous.

Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on a Serious Earth: I personally do not like this book, but it is one of the most famous Batman comics. The Arkham video games are very, very loosely based on the novel. It’s very disturbing and physically hard to read because of the font. The video game is better. Apply broad trigger warnings here. Harvey plays a small, but significant role here. The comic also goes into some of his therapy, but not everyone accepts some of the ridiculous ideas.

The Harvey Dent standalone series: I haven’t been lucky enough to read it yet, so I can’t give you all much information about it except that it’s sadly been cancelled already. Harvey seems somewhat reformed here? I heard it’s good, though!

Part 2 will be him in movies and shows (Animated only). Final part will be video games and audio stories! Of course, this is only a tiny sample of all the comics Harvey has been in, these are just a few to start with.
