I liked how Hugo Strange shattered Two-Face's entire world view in Arkham City by throwing multiple coins at him, asking him if these coins mattered in choice.

That ending is horrible. Trying to shoot Two-Face was the best possible decision considering the circumstance so his wife hating him is incredibly illogical

I feel like flipping the coin is the exact opposite of what you’re meant to do. The whole point of the story is that you can choose what happens and by flipping the coin you just let two-face win. You’re meant to take control and choose your own ending

I love that, appearance wise, Dent and Holman are opposites. With Holman having long, blonde hair, fair skin and blue eyes while Harvey has short, black hair, tanned skin and brown eyes. Even their burns are different, with Harvey's being a straight line and Holman's fading into his skin. Its a nice little way of saying how, even though they have similar origin stories, they're completely different

Gotta admire Holman. In my eyes he just proved his point to Two Face. Holman was given 2 choices, yet he made a third one which is to fight a super villain to save his wife and batman. Even if he knew his chances were so low, he would not become a villain.

If I were that dude’s spouse, I’d be far from mad. Takes some balls to stand up to a mass murderer and try to do the right thing. Just because the game was rigged against him doesn’t mean he’s a bad person

"There are only two sides to a coin." "Apparently so, but suppose you throw a coin enough times, suppose one day it lands on it's edge..."

I remember reading this one in a library and stopped to ask a random person for a coin. They asked why and I just said "to see how this story ends" and they thought I was insane.

To be fair, Two-Face told Holman to shoot Batman, not to kill him and considering how strict Two-Face with everything he says he would probably let them go if Holman aimed Batman's feet and shot

I did consider flipping the coin but then I took Batman’s advice and I decided. I flipped a Shrek the Third dvd instead and it landed heads up which means that he survived and lived happily ever after in the loving arms of Shrek

There's a third option for the ending - be just like batman, decide for yourself - I realized it as I grabbed a coin to "play" along. As I was gonna flip it I thought "If I don't I can make my own choice." Maybe that was the writers intent all along?

that coin flip was so immersive, it made this story feel personal. It was kinda weird at first but when I realized I actually needed to grab a coin, I paused the video to grab a quarter out of a jar of coins I keep. After listening to what would happen I was ready to flip the coin. I knew it was just a fictional character and the toss had no real meaning, but it was still a pretty tense situation. Especially after seeing the pictures of the results and the way the joker talked about the happy ending as if it wasn't even a fulfilling ending, I had a gut feeling that it would be tails. I flipped the coin, caught it in my right, and flipped it over to the back of my left hand, and then raising my hand I found that the coin showed tails, and Holman Hunt had ended his life. Of course, I could just reflip the coin, but it wouldn't make any difference. It already happened

The coin flip lets Harvey live more comfortably with his decisions. He isn't at fault for anything. Luck is what matters, not his finger on a trigger. After the incident where he lost his face he CHOSE to start being the bad guy, but he can never see it that way.

Holy crap. I wouldn't have guessed penguin would go that far with the chef thing. I figured he'd just fire the dude.

Bro just litterally demolished that chef 💀💀💀💀💀

"You're wrong, Harvey. I DECIDE!" How fucking badass is that. Especially when read in Kevin Conroy's voice.

No sir, I won't do that. Call me a spoilsport, but I refuse to give Two-Face and the Joker the satisfaction of my headcannon being determined by coin flip.

That seems like a bit much, if it was really Batman, killing him would just make his situation worse as you have no guarantee he would let you go as well as there is a good chance he could get out and help if you buy time. There wasn’t a good answer there, I don’t really get why he would blame himself to point of leaving and committing suicide or why his wife would see him in such a different light. I don’t know personally felt like a ridiculous escalation for shock factor but maybe that is just me.

In relation to the ending of this comic I'd highly recommend go read a short story "A Riddle" from "Batman Black and White". While it features the Riddler as a villain - it pretty much very well defines the power of a reader in such interactive scenes. We do not have to play by Joker's rules here, we don't have to flip a coin. We may proceed as we see fit. Because that's the power we, the readers, hold. As well as Batman who manages to always work around any unwinnable or sadistic situations that villains put him in.

Two-Face is such an interesting villain, like he’s not my favourite Batman villain but I like him. When it comes to writing a story for or involving Two-Face the writer has to remember that they are writing for two people: Harvey and Two-Face. I think what makes Two-Face so interesting is the dynamic between his Harvey persona and the Two-Face persona. It’s good vs evil down to the BONE, but usually Two-Face overpowers Harvey and thats what makes his character so tragic. Harvey is still in there and if Batman himself believes than there’s still hope for him.

*Always felt like Two Face* should’ve been Batman’s nemesis and not Joker… Cos Two Face has a more personal connection to Batman than Joker and he - to be honest - has way more depth than Joker.

I really don't see how Holman made the wrong choice here. He was handed a weapon and tried to take out the threat in the situation, rather than kill who he thought was Batman and make the situation a lot worse. He was trying to save both Batman and his wife

The ending is a really cool way to give you a choice. I've always loved things where you choose your own destiny/fate, and where choices matter. This is a cool way to have this story end, with the reader determining fate. Also I got tails so oops-

You did an amazing job narrating this. You nailed the chilling ending.

I accidentally taught the lesson of the story to myself… I flipped the coin. Then, wanting to get the good ending, i waited a moment before revealing it. I couldnt decide wether i wanted to turn the coin over on my arm to reveal it (like i normally do), or just open my hand without turning it over to get the opposite side. Not knowing either side, i decided to open my hand without flipping it over hoping id get heads, and ironically i got tails, knowing if i had just flipped the coin as usual i would’ve gotten heads and this fictional character would still be alive in my version of the story. Very good eye opener on how you should just let things play out if you dont know how they’ll go, instead of trying to interfere and making things worse

I loved that you brought the viewer into the story rather than just narate that the comic has this ending. Also I just so happen to have a Two-Face coin so that made this all the better

The bit of audience participation at the end was a brilliant touch. I said "screw it", and played along, was surprised at just how happy I was to get heads.

Let's just say my coin was a lil bit murderous today...

"If it was tails, I was going to keep tossing it over and over until it came up heads." - Tanjiro Kamado.

That was a magnificent ending, I got up and actually grabbed a coin. Flipped it and just kept it covered with my hand wondering if I wanted to see it. Much to my relief it was heads.

That ending shocked me, a coin flip ending to a two face book is super effective. Only thing is I don’t get why joker is telling the story and it isn’t the video. Two face himself, or just a written recount from a faceless person. I got tails btw

I like how Holman's face is very rough, with patches of hair left on the "evil" side, while Two-Face has a perfect halving of his face, with even his hair joining in. It kind of symbolizes how Holman doesn't entirely adopt Two-Face's ideology, while Two-Face himself perfected it long ago. I know Two-Face was designed like that straight from the beginning (trust me, I know, he's my favorite batman villian), but its just kinda neat symbolism

I got tails on my flip, this is one of the most creative and interesting methods of story telling I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve always been a fan of having the audience participate in the outcome of a tale in one way or another

God damn thats such a good ending. Focusing on the point that TwoFace is always trying to make, and then putting the reader into his shoes just for one brief moment, giving the reader that single thread of power over destiny, over life and death. And sure you could just -pick- the choice you want, but deep down, deep inside, you know thats not how it works, so you flip the coin, because after all.. you might get the outcome you want if you really really hope enough. And with that brief moment, you are in total control.

When you have a double-heads coin and a double-tails coin in your purse and like happy endings as much as you love cheating at coin tosses....

Heads! Hah! In your one-sided face, joker! 😎

I got tails. I was half expecting heads to be that he called his wife and, based on the conversation, he killed himself anyway, and tails would be, as he's about to pull the trigger the phone rings and it's her and the two reconcile. That way, if you tried to choose, you would have done the wrong thing and what Harvey said would have held true.

What I found most interesting is the damage Two face is split perfectly in the middle While the firefighter is crocked

I swear I got out a coin at the end and was panicking the whole time cause for once I had a choice in the happy ending, and when it landed heads I was pumping my fist in the air like I won the lottery

I like how he has a video on every major batman villain.

Heads. Glad to see Holman's doing better - one of the tensest damn coin flips I've ever made. Next time I read this issue - because I will definitely be reading this one again - I'll do it like Holman Holt would; looking his choices right in the eye, without flinching. We decide our fates.

I'm not sure if this moral is intended, but I see this: You don't listen to Joker. You don't toss a coin. You choose and you choose well. Else you'll be just like Two-Face. Be like Batman.

I like how the ending got interactive with the reader. Having to flip a coin and seeing what ending you get.

That is absolutely the BEST way to end a Two Face story.

What's interesting is that Holman looks like the Christopher Nolan version of two-face.

When hearing this well told story I couldn't help but think about a thing: that there are always more than two sides on a coin. After all a coin has three dimensions, it must have more than two sides. Sure, heads and tails are the ones people consider. But they aren't the only sides. The arrival of Batman the choice the man made, proved that sometimes a third or even a fourth option exists. You just have to go past the limit of seeing only two sides in a coin.

There's always a 3rd option like a coin landing perfectly on its middle

Batman and the audience: HEADS Joker: SH****

Two-Face: Get out of my face, clown! Joker: Which one?

The genuine emotional suspense and relief I had when seeing I got a heads was something I never excepted a comic to do to me. Great video

My coin flip landed on heads. Good to know God sometimes looks out for fictional characters in addition to His own creations. Key word being "sometimes".

I never thought a story could make me so happy to find heads the result of a coin flip

The irony of almost every two face story is that every time, Harvey is defeated because he fails to recognize another outcome aside from two choices. In fact, even in this story, the whole there are only two outcomes shlick is stupid. Other factors, like accepting support from other people, could easily change the number of outcomes.

This was fucking amazing story telling. Actually grabbed a coin at the end Edit: is there when I'm meant to thank everyone for liking my comment or something?

This and the Batman Black and White Issue #5 The Riddle is is the best I have seen and wish for more of it.

Thats not bad, but as the animated series taught me: Theres also an edge and no matter how rare, it sometimes lands that way. Meaning fate is never a 50/50. There is always another option if you look carefully enough.

that ending was so awesome lol an awesome play by the writers , good show

“Heads or tails…” I KNOW IM NOT SLEEPING TODAY

He picked up the phone to call his wife but the lithium polymer battery explodes.

Nothing makes me tear up like men loosing everything cause they chose honor over evil. This guys a martyr

That's a great way to let a comic have multiple endings

i love the fact it breaks the fourth wall and tells you to flip a coin

The problem with Two Face is: He's crazy. He's dichotomized a world which is otherwise entirely spectral. How does the story end? The third option: Don't read it. The fourth option: write your own. The fifth option: Launch a brick into a window. The sixth option: etc. ad nauseum. Nothing is binary in the way Harvey wants it to be, and the simplest amount of scrutiny can illuminate that.

A coin has three sides, Harvey, the third will _always_ be _yours_ --no matter which side it lands on

RIP holman... good video man

That author has a really good understanding of how fucked the joker is with that ending

It’s really symbolic that in the ending where Holman shot himself, the gun was pointed at the disfigured side of his face, since you can see his normal side intact in the mirror.

I actually paused and got out a coin. It was a bit tense because I wondering what the point could be. I thought that it would just be some kind of build up to a metaphor, but to decide the ending? That's clever. It reminds me of the Riddler comic that was like a choose your own adventure book, but for how this guy's fate. Will he be able to move on and resume his marriage or will it have been too much? I got heads, but even the "good" ending will take some work.

Sorry kid, death comes for you now... I got tails...

7:03 I got heads my man gon keep liven his life

Two face was my favorite villain. He just had way more personality or something. Just better character writing showing the distinct line between order and chaos

really cool comic! I really liked how at the beginning the perspective shift to each side of both of their faces and so do their speech/thoughts (something like that can't RLLY muster it) really showing that there's always 2 sides to a coin

That’s a pretty dark story, but Two-Face is probably my favorite Batman villain behind Joker. The idea that he’s half a good person, it has a lot of merit.

When you flip the coin and get tails so you just sit there in silence for 3 minutes

0:00 - 0:55 - What this says to me is Danny DeVito was even more perfect to play The Penguin than one would think.

I have always considered that life is however you see it. Two face decided to split life in two: Good side, Bad side. There are no middles. But is this truly how life is? Not in my opinion. Twoface only consider extremes, never the middle, foggy part. From which, choices can come out. Just like how the Batman came out of such cruel situation. A third path.

You know when it comes to deciding the ending, I like the Batman Method "I decide". So I choose the happy ending.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting this out of Two Face. It just feels more like something that The Joker would do.

Notice that Holmans two face appearance is notably different to Harvey's Harvey has 2 distinct hair colours whereas the hair that Holman has is blond regardless of side Harvey's face is split down the middle absolutely while Holmans is rough and the two blend

To people out there, there is more than “2 sides” We live in 3D dimensions after all. Don’t limit yourself ❤

I didn't get a coin and flipped it. I chose my own ending to the story and I think his wife called him because she was worried about him and misses him and probably forgave him too so he went back to her.

Someone, literally anyone: has a wife Supervillains: and I took that personally

4:10 Did he say Fulsuric acid?

Got heads. I guess for me Holman was lucky. Cant say the same for anyone who got tails.

I don’t read comics but I watch these vids lol, love your channel bro. Rather have you read/explain these stories

Seriously though this story is the reason why I love two-face comics so much, because it can give you incredible lessons about morality. I flipped the coin and got tails and hated myself for what had happened to this character, I then began assuring myself that its not my fault and that the coin decided. Then it hit me that I never had to flip in the first place, the whole point of the story is that you can take the way your life goes into your own hands, I always had the choice to just never flip and choose my own story. Ok now I've said the moral of the story I want a small footnote for those who care. I cant stop thinking about if it landed on heads, would I still be thinking about this? Because if I got heads then I would have got the "good ending" and would never have had to worry about the morality of my own decisions because it had a good outcome. But I would lay awake at night thinking like I am now, I would think about what if things happened differently? I let this fictional mans life be up to complete chance and it could have completely gone the other way. Then it would never cross my mind about the lesson I learnt from this story because of me landing on tails

Raziel: You said it yourself, Kain... there are only two sides to your coin. Kain: Apparently so, but suppose you throw a coin enough times... suppose one day, it lands on its edge.

As someone who literally lives with decisions using a coin flip since highschool, I found the ending entertaining. I flipped the coin and looked without hesitation, flipped heads. My gold coin has yet to give me a bad end.

Wow, they really left it up to the fans to decide with a coin flip!

The fact that the reason he lefted him is because she is mad at him for trying to save both her and batman instead of just only saving her shows something

The last thing you want is a supervillain telling you they will visit you shortly.(And not specifying a date)

so it's kind of like tales from the crypt but with gotham villains and joker as the crypt keeper? that's pretty cool

I got heads bro, I felt like a main character saving the day

When he said hill do anything I knew what two-faced wanted I wasn't expecting him to already have batman

I got heads when I did the coin flip. Also, HOLY CRAP is that one awesome way to get the reader immersed into the comic.

Man I love your content it always seems to show me a new marvel or dc fact

Two-Face was channeling Jigsaw's bitter old serial killer energy, there. I also love the implication in this story that the only reason Two-Face didn't break out of Arkham sooner was because he couldn't bother to until some sanctimonious goody two shoes came along and pissed him off with his happy marriage and his positive attitude.

Heads, but boy his wife sure showed her true colors when all was said and done.

That ending is S tier storytelling

I love when comics do this where they add the viewer to choose the fate of the character.
