Two-Face Reading Order

This reading order is designed to give an outline of major storylines featuring Two-Face (Harvey Dent) throughout DC Comics. It may not encompass every one of his appearances but is an outline of the major ones and the stories that affect them.

The continuity details relating to each specific storyline are explained in the “Review” of each storyline. Every “Review” link will provide a detailed continuity breakdown of that story and will explain any reference the story makes to other aspects of the DC Universe. All of this can be found under the “Continuity” section of each link.

New 52

At the beginning of the New 52, the DC Universe was reset. In this new continuity, most of Two-Face’s previous actions were wiped from continuity but his antagonism toward Batman remains.

Two-Face is reintroduced to the universe through brief appearances in the Batman: The Dark Knight series. In this era, his most significant role is in the Batman and Robin series, which explores his updated backstory and, temporarily, has him as a main character.
