The underrated Eckhart.
Btw, Shatner is a lot of fun in the animated sequel to the 60s show.

I haven't seen the Animated Series in a long time, so I'll go with Aaron Eckhart. I thought he did a good job of showing Dent's transformation throughout the course of the film.
While I like Tommy Lee Jones as an actor, I felt like his portrayal was copying Jack Nicholson's Joker and he devolved into a cackling buffoon that flipped coins whenever the script needed it. With a better script and execution, Jones could have done a solid job.

Easily Dark Knight's.
A very underrated villain.

Moll. A little interesting trivia, Clint Eastwood was originally supposed to play Two Face on the 1960s Batman television show(he was supposed to be a news anchor whose face got damaged from an exploding kleig light), but the idea was too gruesome for TV censors, so it was never used.

It's that he was overshadowed by a superior villain performance in the Joker. As a result, one of the most complex bad guys out there doesn't even make best villain lists anywhere. To me, he is easily in my top five comic book movie villains. |

To me, he is easily in my top five comic book movie villains. Top 10 for me. The problem is that he is only a villain for the last 45 minutes of the movie and his transition feels rushed and underdeveloped, though still thematically effective. Villains don't always need to be complex in order to be great villains. Many of the greatest movie villains of all time aren't very complex at all. |

The time frame doesn't matter to me much because this is largely his origin story. Two-Face & Harvey Dent are the same person for me which means he's in the whole movie. The movie is essentially about him more than Bruce or Joker and so seeing him transform into someone who is pretty much evil at the end. I think his corruption is handled near perfectly. I agree that villains don't need to be complex. It's hard to pull off and I think most of the time they fail. But when a good one comes along, I would have a hard time hating it simply because it isn't necessary. |

But when a good one comes along, I would have a hard time hating it simply because it isn't necessary. I wish I felt the same, though I completely understand your reasoning. He is obviously the same person and he is a great character but we barely get to see him as Two-Face. In The Animated Series he has multiple episodes dedicated to him and I think his origin is well done in this show too. I like the crime boss style Two-Face who goes back and forth wrestling with his personalities. This is one of the best aspects of the character and The Dark Knight simply doesn't have enough time to explore this. Do you mean that complex villains are hard to pull off? |

As much as I love Aaron Eckhart's performance in The Dark Knight, that was just one movie. Richard Moll played Two-Face ten times and was the voice of the Bat-computer. Batman: The Animated Series "On Leather Wings" - Harvey Dent, Bat-computer, Security Guard (uncredited) "Pretty Poison" - Harvey Dent "Two-Face" - Harvey Dent/Two-Face, Thomas Wayne (uncredited) "The Strange Secret of Bruce Wayne" - Harvey Dent/Two-Face "Almost Got 'Im" - Harvey Dent/Two-Face "Shadow of the Bat" - Harvey Dent/Two-Face "Trial" - Harvey Dent/Two-Face "Second Chance" - Harvey Dent/Two-Face The New Batman Adventures "Sins of the Father" - Harvey Dent/Two-Face "Judgment Day" - Harvey Dent/Two-Face |

Batman: The Animated Series served as my introduction to the character and it handled him very, very well. Therefore it gets my vote.

I liked The Dark Knight one. Though I gotta say I kept thinking "Wow, that guy is going to get a serious infection."
