    Default Batman TAS episode 10 talkback: Two-Face 1 & 2

    Another one of my favorite episodes and quite a brilliant one! great animation by Akira's TMS who known to make solid animation and fantastic writing with mature themes even on psychological issues of split personality.

    Who else thought Richard Moll was fantastic as Harvey Dent/Two-Face even John Vernon as Rupert Thorne? i did! i knew Vernon as a kid from Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Animal House, A-Team, Curtains, I'm Gonna Git you Sucka and other stuff and since i'm a 80s/early 90s kid i knew Moll from House (1985) (Anyone remember that movie?) where he was Ben and also Bull from Nightcourt, then i saw the credits when i was 11 when i taped the episode. Ah ah, i knew it was him.

    Quite a tragic episode on a man who's other personality takes over and how revenge can be bad.

    Still the best onscreen version of Two-Face for me (when it comes to the written page its GRucka's version for me)

    I feel the same way.

    Who else grew up with Nightcourt and House (1985 horror film)?

    This was, for me, when B:TAS really started kicking things into high gear. I was already in love with the show at this point, but man, they just nailed the scarred psyches of Batman's rogues gallery. Two-Face was always a stand-out, and yes, Richard Moll was incredible playing both personalities.

    I grew up watching Night Court and Bull was one of my favorite characters! It was surreal when I realized Richard Moll voiced Harvey/Two-Face.

    A very good two parter with some great animation (the scene in the psychologist's office especially). It was a nice touch to have Bruce & Harvey be friends before his transformation to add an element of tragedy to Harvey (was BTAS the first to have them be friends?)

    One thing I noticed when re watching BTAS again was that Harvey here is all ready to marry Grace when only a few episodes ago he was ready to marry Poison Ivy!

    Yes indeed after he quit Ivy after finding out about her, he went with Grace.
