Others feel free to add whatever stuff to this thread that you please. For my part, I will add one more thing. I contacted Richard Moll on twitter to see if he'd verify or dispute the IMDb listing, and got the following back. (Link (http://twitter.com/richardmoll))
All I can say is, stay tuned! Two-Face was a great character!
Thats not a "No".

Two-Face was my favorite villain in the old cartoon, even more then the Joker actually!

Is it just me or don't you love how they used to be able to use bullets in these cartoons? Laser guns or blaster guns just don't give the same effect.

God I loved that episode.
It's just such rich character development compared to the crap kids see on TV nowadays.
Loved that show when I was younger.

One of the most underated characters. Even in Dark Knight, Echkart played Harvey brilliantly, maybe on par with Heathe...

The look for two-face in TDK was perfect for a realistic yet cartoonish character.

I love Two-Face so much. One of the best Batman villains ever. Heavily underrated IMO. I was sad when I heard little to nothing about him in this game.

I must agree and say that Eckhart was one of the only things I liked about Dark Knight. Two Face rules anyways, my third favorite villain after Joker and Scarecrow.

yes, Eckart was the star of the film, not Ledger IMO because his avting wans't antinatural, he's the perfect two-face.
The only two-face I didn't like is the one from Batman & Robin

That really is one with no redeeming features.

ok for me the best thing about the dark knight was heath ledgers joker. i thought it was amazing. Eckharts two-face was brilliant as well but the joker was better. So this means that Two-Face will be in the game? I hope he's like a boss bc I'm kinda dissapointed at the boss line-up. Every villian should be a boss, i hope that the studios are keping it quiet on if there are other main villians as bosses!

I've always thought Two-Face was Batman's best villain. He isn't my favorite bad guy (I like both Riddler and Scarecrow better), but I feel Harvey Dent is much better suited to be Batman's archfoe than, say, a Gotham's little Clown Prince of Crime. Don't get me wrong. Joker is a good villain, but ...

Let's just say that the only reason Joker is Batman's archfoe is because DC's writers decided to make him so. It wasn't a natural process, if you know what I mean. Now it's frankly irreversible. Joker and Batsy are so ingrained in the public's minds as the iconic "villain vs. hero" pair that they have become the stuff of legends. No comic book characters will ever measure up.

However, if we were to forget everything we know about Batman, if we were to start from scratch, I don't think it would be The Joker who becomes the arch-archvillain. Two-Face is simply better suited for the roll, in my humble opinion, and if he was around from the start it would have been him.

That short plot was very nicely written. =)

Can't wait to see Two-Face as the Dark Knight of Gotham. :D It's going to be so intriquing seeing how he decides to fight crime... and justice maybe too? >_>

That's a really good point you make. I somewhat agree. For one, Joker is just really awesome in his own way. I think you may be right about DC kind of forcing him to be Batman's biggest enemy, but as the years went on and on and it was ingrained, there were some writers who interpreted their relationship as enemies so well that it became justified.

I do agree that Two-Face may not be the best villain of all time, but he's also certainly one of my Batman favorites. Not only is he among the most realistic of his "supervillains", but he's the literal definition of an anti-villain; someone cast into an antagonistic role that the audience is able to sympathize for, because he's not "supposed" to be that way, he's a good person trapped into a bad life by tragedy. plus, just because he regularly carries around some guns and his coin doesn't mean Batman can take him down easy. I think people highly underrate how dangerous Two-Face is, even compared to most of Batman's other enemies. Being a former district attorney, he knows the law inside and out, just as well as he knows crime, and is probably the slipperiest villain to catch because of that next to Riddler or Joker. The fact that he makes all his moral decisions on his coin makes him extremely dangerous and unpredictable. In The Dark Knight and even his very first appearance this was shown to full effect. Who is he going to shoot? Me? You? Will he help the cops, or the mob? Is he going to blow up this place, or just shoot everyone inside instead? For being a black and white system of thinking, it has a big variety of potential consequences. Last but certainly not least, the famous story Face The Face had him being trained by Batman himself following (temporary) reform. He's just as dangerous as Batman is. That says an incredible lot.

But the potential capability of villains go only as far as their stories. That is what Two-Face is most renowned for. While he almost loses the spot to the BTAS incarnation of Mr. Freeze, he is the most tragic Batman villain ever created. The darkest, deepest, most emotionally compelling and psychologically complex Batman stories all contain Two-Face to some significant degree. In fact I was shocked when I learned that he isn't a boss in this game. Definitely one of the most underrated villains of all time, IMO.
