Even though it isn’t out until the 21st of October, it’s great to see all this information about Batman: Arkham City finally coming out. Today we have an exciting piece of artwork of Two-Face, along with his biography.

Formerly known as Harvey Dent and  one of Batman’s fiercest allies , Dent’s Psyche was fractured when a criminal threw acid in his face, hideously scarring him on one side of his body. Two-Face is now obsessed with duality, reflected in his former good-luck charm, a “two-headed” trick silver dollar, which he uses to decide the fate of his victims.

Background Story: District Attorney Harvey Dent was one of Batman’s strongest allies in Gotham City, until a criminal threw acid in Dent’s face, hideously scarring him. The wounds fractured his psyche, and he was reborn Two-Face, a schizoid criminal mastermind  obsessed with duality. His former good-luck charm, a “two-headed” trick silver dollar, was damaged on one side in the attack, and Dent has seized on it as a reflection of his half-scarred visage. He flips it to decide the fates of his victims. Two-Face is thriving in Arkham City, rallying inmates to join his gang using tried and true campaign tactics.

We also brought you a Riddler trailer earlier in the week, a preview of the title too, and we have a forum thread discussing the Batman: Arkham City here!
