A perfect companion piece to it's predecessor
maxglen1 September 2020
Although this episode isn't quite as 'transformative' as part one, it's definitely still quite a ride and worth your time. Batman attempts to appeal to the emotionally conflicted Harvey who is further toward his alter ego than ever before after his accident in Two-Face: Part One. Just a well rounded piece of animated television. A light to decent 9/10

Men be looking at this and immediately say "hell yeah"

Truer words have never been said, as this two-parter not only includes the more mature nature of modern batman stories but outright sets them from then on, and you don't have to agree with me as the producers already set as much, I found myself actively rooting for Harvey and actually cared for whether or not he ended up redeeming himself, I never really saw two-face as being a compelling character to look into, specially since his popularity doesn't seem to reach the highs of other batman villains, I guess because he isn't batshit insane or has no superpowers.

As a first time viewer I'm looking forward to how the character gets to grow through the next episodes of the series.

So much for control, eh, Grace

This episode (as well as part one) form a perfectly tragic and sympathetic origin for Two-face. I've always thought Two-face was one of the most complex, interesting and beautifully written characters from the batman universe and the batman animated series gives him an incredible origin story. This episode in particular really highlights how intimidating he is as a villain, but also how compelling his principles are. This almost seems like a solution to his Big bad harv persona, with both his good and bad side taking compromises. The mature conversation he has with grace about taking control of your life or letting chance decide is truly riveting. And while Grace is being reasonable, respectful and encouraging, you completely understand where Harvey is coming from considering what he's gone through. I respect this show so much for pulling very few punches when it comes to complex villains and mature conversations since it's technically a "kids" show. Another remarkable episode from BTAS.

Artwork & Richard Moll Add Spice To Psychology Yarn

"Two Face," actually Harvey Dent, district attorney, is on the rampage against gangster Rupert Thorne. After his latest attack on Thorne's bookie operation, the latter offers a two million dollar reward for anyone who gets "Two-Face."

Not a whole lot happens in this episode for much of it, which is the first time I can say that. It's mainly the ongoing story of Harvey's good and evil sides battling each other and the evil side continuing to do whatever he can do to ruin Rupert Thorne. The latter's henchmen and woman, however, make it tough on everyone. I like how the female calls him "Rupie."

John Moll, the big, bald dude from the hit TV show of the '80s, "Night Court," voices Harvey Dent - both of him, and does a fine job. The artwork in here continues to be superb. Some of the scenes remind me of some of the great art by Edward Hopper.

Overall, this two-part series on Harvey Dent's mental problems were the only so-so episodes, but they were still worth watching.

Lasting repercussions
Mr-Fusion27 December 2016
'Part II' goes in an interesting direction. It's not completely about Two-Face's reign after taking over Harvey Dent, but also Batman's inner turmoil over the whole thing. He acts as a man complicit in Dent's ruination, even wracked with guilt over it.

And in the end, after foiling Two-Face (mildly, at that)he's hopeful that a recovery is possible. This is as much about Bruce Wayne as it is about the former District Attorney, and Bruce's undying concern is what I've always liked about Two-Face episodes. This is a worthy second half.

7/10
