Throughout the second and third seasons, Two-Face joins the League in consolidating power in Gotham City's ruins after the Joker destroyed it, but the group is dismantled by Harley Quinn while Two-Face is eventually arrested by Commissioner Jim Gordon.

• First appearing in Batman: The Animated Series (1992), this version developed dissociative identity disorder as a result of years of repressed anger, which led to the creation of an alternate personality called "Big Bad Harv". After initially making minor appearances, with his most notable seeing him being brainwashed by Poison Ivy into dating her as part of an attempt on his life, Two-Face's self-titled two-part episode sees Dent's condition resurface amidst his engagement to Grace Lamont, his D.A. reelection campaign, and crime boss Rupert Thorne stealing his therapy records to use as blackmail material. The combined stress of these events causes "Big Bad Harv" to reemerge and attack Thorne. Batman attempts to intervene, but the fight triggers an explosion that severely scars the left side of Dent's face and body. Driven mad by his disfigurement, Dent reinvents himself as the gangster and crime boss "Two-Face" throughout his later appearances.
• Two-Face returns in The New Batman Adventures. In the episode "Sins of the Father", he indirectly contributes to Tim Drake's origin story as Robin after murdering the boy's father Steven Drake.

• Dent returns in Batman Forever, portrayed by Tommy Lee Jones. Following the incident that led to him becoming Two-Face, which plays out as it does in the Golden Age comics, he refers to himself using plural pronouns and swears revenge against Batman, whom he blames for failing to save him. Additionally, he is aided by two molls, the angelic "Sugar" (portrayed by Drew Barrymore) and the tempestuous "Spice" (portrayed by Debi Mazar), and murders the Flying Graysons, indirectly leading to sole survivor Dick Grayson eventually becoming Robin. While on a crime spree, Two-Face joins forces with the Riddler to learn Batman's secret identity. However, Batman throws several identical coins at Two-Face while he is flipping his coin, causing the latter to scramble for it and fall to his death.

• Harvey Dent appears in the early scripts for Batman Begins, but was ultimately cut and replaced by original character Rachel Dawes. According to writer David S. Goyer, the main reason for this was because he and the production team realized they "couldn't do him justice".^[16]
• The Harvey Dent incarnation of Two-Face appears in The Dark Knight, portrayed by Aaron Eckhart. This version is depicted as a tragic hero who lacks the gimmickry and dissociative identity disorder commonly associated with the character and is nicknamed "Gotham's White Knight" due to his public image as a crusader for justice. Additionally, he utilizes a two-headed peace dollar to make important decisions and is in a relationship with Rachel Dawes. He is elected to the office of District Attorney, having previously served in the Gotham City Police Department (GCPD)'s internal affairs division, and forms a tenuous alliance with Batman and GCPD Lieutenant Jim Gordon to eliminate Gotham's organized crime. However, corrupt police officers working for mob boss Sal Maroni and the Joker kidnap Dent and Dawes and hold them prisoner in two abandoned buildings set to explode. Despite the GCPD's efforts, Dawes is subsequently killed. While Batman narrowly rescues Dent, the latter is left disfigured and one side of his coin is damaged. The Joker visits Dent in the hospital and persuades him to exact revenge against those he believes are responsible for Dawes' death. After killing Maroni and a GCPD officer who betrayed him, Dent takes Gordon's family hostage. Batman intervenes, persuading Dent to judge him, Gordon, and himself for pressuring the Gotham mob into working with the Joker. Dent shoots Batman and spares himself, but Batman tackles him off a ledge before he can judge Gordon's son. Dent falls to his death and Batman takes the blame for the murders he committed to ensure that he is remembered as a hero.
• Dent's legacy plays a role in The Dark Knight Rises. Eight years after his death, the "Dent Act" legislation has all but eradicated Gotham's organized crime. Having become the GCPD's commissioner by this time, Gordon considers publicly revealing the truth of Dent's crime spree, but eventually decides that Gotham is not ready.^[17] However, Bane acquires the speech regarding the cover-up and reads it on live television, calling Dent and Gordon hypocrites to undermine confidence in the legal system and throw Gotham's social order into chaos. Following Batman's sacrifice and the League of Shadows' defeat, the former is honored as Gotham's true hero while the Dent Act is eliminated and Dent's legacy tarnished.

Upon capturing them, Two-Face deduces their secret identities and leaves them for Gotham's other villains so he can turn the entire city into Two-Faces.
