Two Sides To Every Coin

[@kyleoren4212]

Gotta admire Holman. In my eyes he just proved his point to Two Face. Holman was given 2 choices, yet he made a third one which is to fight a super villain to save his wife and batman. Even if he knew his chances were so low, he would not become a villain.

[@soulbound2]

Yeah honestly the outcome of his decision feels a little forced imo. Choosing to place himself in danger instead of murder or letting his wife be scalded by acid seems like the no brainer decision, kinda weird how that ruined his marriage.

That’s also how Batman beat him in Batman Forever

[@Aivottaja]

That's also similar to how Two Face was turned completely indecisive to the point of not being able to decide going to the bathroom and soiling himself in A Serious House On Serious Earth. His coins were replaced with other items, ending with, IIRC, a dice or a deck of cards. But there was actually one of the few, if only, positive twists to the story when it's showed that in the end, Two Face made his own choice in sparing Batman's life.

[@DonDigidon-gd3wi]

To be fair, Two-Face told Holman to shoot Batman, not to kill him and considering how strict Two-Face with everything he says he would probably let them go if Holman aimed Batman's feet and shot

[@tencents6]

But considering how unpredictable Two-Face is, If Holman shot his foot, he most likely would have said, "Hmm, not what I had in mind. Let's see what the coin says." Then he would've flipped the coin and if it landed tails, the same thing would have happened.

[@goose9245]

you don't even need to actually hit batman you just need to shoot at him

[@Aivottaja]

That's unknowable. Maybe after shooting Batman, he would have just told he is going to flip a coin again and regardless of where it lands, shoot either the wife or Holman.

[@callmecalamity]

I really wonder what wouldve happened if he just felt the weight of the gun and realized it wasnt loaded with real bullets and told two face he knew thus ruining the whole thing. Neither option would happen then or if it did then it would be loaded

[@Ohallo-tp2eb]

I feel like flipping the coin is the exact opposite of what you’re meant to do. The whole point of the story is that you can choose what happens and by flipping the coin you just let two-face win. You’re meant to take control and choose your own ending

[@chaoticnote]

If a commanding officer orders a soldier to kill an innocent kid of a foreign country just because they might be a potential grenade tosser and the soldier does so, is the soldier at fault or is he blameless just because his superior ordered him to? I'd argue that Harvey IS very much at fault for his actions. He was too weak-willed and took the easy way by letting luck decide every decision he makes. He ignores the morality behind his decisions, which is selfish of him.

[@whyareyoubothering]

It was wrong in Two Faces twisted sense of justice. He is always prepared for when people try to go away from his two choices.

[@Nyzer_]

For Two-Face, the point was that there were only two bad choices to make. Trying to take a third option was an attempt to weasel out of the weight of living with which of the two evils was chosen. More to the point, it isn't really a choice. It's not as if sparing Batman would have guaranteed that Two-Face would also spare him. But even if it did, Batman himself would tell him to pull the trigger. And even if not, a quick bullet to the head is a fair less painful death than being doused in acid. Two-Face's whole point is that the idea of never having to deal with a horrible choice like that, the idea that you have enough control over your fate to avoid such a situation, is a childish way to see things. It's why he scoffs at Holman's righteousness in prison. Had Holman been able to steel himself and make the slightly less horrible choice even if it had meant he'd had more agency in said choice, there would have been absolutely zero consequences.

[@SonicMegaKing]

Pointing a gun at Harvey does nothing to save his wife or Batman. It's a useless way to attempt to asset control over the situation he doesn't have. Not to mention it still depends on Two-Face given that he only threatens Two-Face with a gun he gave him. He's playing entirely within Two-Face's scenario, not really marking out and making his own choice. That's why it's a mistake. It's really dumb. He's negotiating with a crazy man obsessed with duality of choices. Even if the situation was real Harvey would more than likely rather die to trigger the failure state of the scene than just give up and leave.

Especially after seeing the pictures of the results and the way the joker talked about the happy ending as if it wasn't even a fulfilling ending, I had a gut feeling that it would be tails. I flipped the coin, caught it in my right, and flipped it over to the back of my left hand, and then raising my hand I found that the coin showed tails, and Holman Hunt had ended his life.

Two-Face is such an interesting villain, like he’s not my favourite Batman villain but I like him. When it comes to writing a story for or involving Two-Face the writer has to remember that they are writing for two people: Harvey and Two-Face. I think what makes Two-Face so interesting is the dynamic between his Harvey persona and the Two-Face persona. It’s good vs evil down to the BONE, but usually Two-Face overpowers Harvey and thats what makes his character so tragic. Harvey is still in there and if Batman himself believes than there’s still hope for him.

What's interesting is that Holman looks like the Christopher Nolan version of two-face.

[@squigglymcgoo]

Right down to the method by which he was burned, too !

[@deathrayman8074]

He-hey, I'm not the only one who noticed that! :D

[@copperdaylight]

The irony of almost every two face story is that every time, Harvey is defeated because he fails to recognize another outcome aside from two choices. In fact, even in this story, the whole there are only two outcomes shlick is stupid. Other factors, like accepting support from other people, could easily change the number of outcomes.

[@lagplus]

really cool comic! I really liked how at the beginning the perspective shift to each side of both of their faces and so do their speech/thoughts (something like that can't RLLY muster it) really showing that there's always 2 sides to a coin

Two face was my favorite villain. He just had way more personality or something. Just better character writing showing the distinct line between order and chaos

[@retrospectre2658]

Thats not bad, but as the animated series taught me: Theres also an edge and no matter how rare, it sometimes lands that way. Meaning fate is never a 50/50. There is always another option if you look carefully enough.

[@SeedlingNL]

Not just the edge.. there's also the chance you will never figure out what the result. Or something else affects the coin flip and rendered the flip moot.

[@IsaacMuriente]

The ending is a really cool way to give you a choice. I've always loved things where you choose your own destiny/fate, and where choices matter. This is a cool way to have this story end, with the reader determining fate. Also I got tails so oops-

[@CM_MC]

what if i told you that you missed the true ending? going off what the comic hints at, you arnt supposed to flip a coin as you the reader become just like two-face if you allow his fate to end that way. You dont have to listen to the Joker because in life you have control over your own fate, Batman says "no, I do" and Holdman showing that third option by turning the gun toward two-face, they are trying to tell you to choose your own fate.

[@AnakinSkywalker-u5b]

Yeah, flipping a coin means you pretty much give Joker & Two Face the satisfaction of winning regardless of the ending because you played by the latter's rules/demented way of thinking.

[@arcticflames6932]

A coin has three sides, Harvey, the third will _always_ be _yours_ --no matter which side it lands on

[@PRIM1984]

Theres always a cance for the coin to land on the edge

[@andrechris-sargent9921]

The problem with Two Face is: He's crazy. He's dichotomized a world which is otherwise entirely spectral. How does the story end? The third option: Don't read it. The fourth option: write your own. The fifth option: Launch a brick into a window. The sixth option: etc. ad nauseum. Nothing is binary in the way Harvey wants it to be, and the simplest amount of scrutiny can illuminate that.

[@SSD_Penumbra]

He isn't though. If you think about it, choice is either option A or B. You may think you have limitless options, but when you get down to it, they always circle back to the original 2. Harvey/Twoface have that, but in every aspect of their lives. Everything is black and white, not grey.

[@fynnthefox9078]

I like how the ending got interactive with the reader. Having to flip a coin and seeing what ending you get.

[@jordanasiegel2099]

You did an amazing job narrating this. You nailed the chilling ending.

[@Hugelag]

I actually paused and got out a coin. It was a bit tense because I wondering what the point could be. I thought that it would just be some kind of build up to a metaphor, but to decide the ending? That's clever. It reminds me of the Riddler comic that was like a choose your own adventure book, but for how this guy's fate. Will he be able to move on and resume his marriage or will it have been too much? I got heads, but even the "good" ending will take some work.

Notice that Holmans two face appearance is notably different to Harvey's Harvey has 2 distinct hair colours whereas the hair that Holman has is blond regardless of side Harvey's face is split down the middle absolutely while Holmans is rough and the two blend

[@daneyal7162]

Honestly, I wasn't expecting this out of Two Face. It just feels more like something that The Joker would do.

My coin flip landed on heads. Good to know God sometimes looks out for fictional characters in addition to His own creations. Key word being "sometimes".

As someone who literally lives with decisions using a coin flip since highschool, I found the ending entertaining. I flipped the coin and looked without hesitation, flipped heads. My gold coin has yet to give me a bad end.

[@shapeswitch_mood7221]

I have always considered that life is however you see it. Two face decided to split life in two: Good side, Bad side. There are no middles. But is this truly how life is? Not in my opinion. Twoface only consider extremes, never the middle, foggy part. From which, choices can come out. Just like how the Batman came out of such cruel situation. A third path.

@@glugs3356 Good and evil, those two things are quite subjective. To a monarch, a revolution against their command is pretty evil, since, well, all the monarch's doing is existing, or maybe their people are just overreacting to a decision, at least in the monarch's eyes. Whereas to the people leading the revolution, the fact that the monarch won't compromise or help the people they're supposed to be helping and leading, well, that's pretty evil. I figure every sentient being to ever exist has/will have some idea of what is "good" to do and what is "evil" or "bad" to do.

Honestly, really a shame to anyone who didn't get tails on their flip because the impact is great This one's shockingly well written, I can think of exactly one comic which seemed more creative I particularly like two face's expression when he says "oh crap", dude knew exactly where it was going to go, didn't even need to actually use the acid, in fact if anything, the sequence where real batman saves her would be a definitive tipping point in her reasoning that her husband was on the right to not "kill batman" on the head's outcome, was it not for two face being two face he'd have achieved his goal fully clean
