Description Teetering between the lines of order and chaos, redemption and damnation, Two-Face the fallen White Knight of Gotham City has made things a personal affair between Batman and Commissioner James Gordon. With his scarred silver dollar, Two Face holds the difference between life and death. 

    In the DC Unlimited, Two-Face's backstory is an amalgamation between what has happened in Detective Comics#66, Batman The Animated Series, and his most famous storyline from Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale: The Long Halloween. As per usual, Harvey Dent was a promising D.A. in Gotham City, to help eliminate the corruption from the crime families, while dealing with his personal demons. Ultimately being scarred by Sal "The Boss" Maroni, he became known as the criminal known as Two Face. In this reality, the approach of Two Face is also influenced by The Dark Knight. Prior to Dent's decent into madness, Batman hoped that Two Face would be able to succeed where Batman has failed, in cleaning up Gotham City, without the mask. Dent respected Batman, and everything he represented. He also respected Bruce Wayne as an old time friend, in fact it was Bruce who introduced him to his wife Gilda. But the anger he's bottled for so long would come back to haunt him, and as The Joker said "All it takes is one bad day".

   In this continuity, Two-Face is at war with himself, as much as he is with Batman. The struggle between order and chaos becomes ever prominent, which can only end in one way for Dent. Luckily for him, Bruce Wayne hasn't given up on Harvey, nor will he ever. Jim Gordon and Gilda are trying their best to bring Harvey back to the light of day, before it's too late. A tragic figure unlike any other, Two-Face is a reminder that obsession and repression can turn us into the very people we fight against.

He's easily one of Batman's sympathetic characters next to Mister Freeze

That was just the catalyst. Harvey was already on his way to becoming Two-Face

Long Halloween was my favorite book in middle school. So it was important to bring that back into continuity

Oh thank god. Honestly The Long Halloween wouldn't work live action. Tim Sale's artwork is just so iconic to be ditched for the sake of live action

I just hope they keep the artstyle. And not continue with Timm artstyle as they did with Gotham By Gaslight and Red Son. Don't get wrong, i love Bruce timm, but what made DC Animated movies special in the beginning was the ability to not just adapt the storyline beat for beat, but also adapt the artstyle.

The issue with Two Face stories is that is stories are related to the number two, when they should just focus on the duality of order and chaos, good and bad.

That's fair. Anything from the DCAU would be considered canon

They accepted the Mad Love origin as canon. Still a lot of ideas in past continuities inform the DC Unlimited
