Voice Compare » Batman » Two Face
Comparision of the voice over actors who have been the voice of Two Face with sound clips and images.
Two Face is one of the various members of Batman's Rogues Gallery whom made his comic book debut in Detective Comics #66 back in August of 1942. Two Face's original name is Harvey Dent whom was known as a heroic District Attorney for Gotham and an ally to folks such as Commissioner Gordon and Batman (and Bruce Wayne). Unfortunately due to a tragic incident (though the exact details depend on the storyline) half of Harvey's body was scarred, then Harvey went insane and became the criminal known as Two Face. Two Face has an obsession with duality as for example he likes to base his decisions on a flip of a coin on whether if he is willing to show any mercy or not.

EDITOR'S OPINION
Today on the Batman VC section we have another VC for another one of Batman's various foes and this one is none other than... TWO FACE! I know its not a huge VC but I will just simply say that I liked Richard Moll and Troy Baker the best for this role as they definitely did a low gruff voice which was very suiting for the role here. While John Fitzgerald's performance was well-acted his voice for Two Face didn't really seem all that rough at all. James Remar had an interesting idea in playing up Two Face's duality by switching between a voice for Harvey Dent and a voice for Two Face but his Two Face voice was okay at best. And while Edwin Neal's voice for Two Face was definitely gruff and his performance suited the role well but his voice for the role was a bit too high as well. Overall none of these guys are bad for the role but I did like Richard Moll and Troy Baker for this role the most.Pokejedservo

'm going with Troy Baker. Richard Moll,Edwin Neil, John Fitzgerald and Wade Williams were good too.

James Remar could have done A Lot BETTER in know. But oh well. Going with Richard and Troy (whom I did predict would be a good Two Face). Wade had potential, but it seems like Andrea's casting him in everything.

Richard Moll. Troy Baker did pretty good, but he didn't do that much. If he reprises the role and they give him more to work with I will consider changing my vote to him. For now, I don't see anything all too special about it.

Gonna have to go with Moll here, Troy is probably tied, and he's amazing, but even he has admitted that his favorite two face will always be Richard Moll. Part of my childhood, can't argue against that.

If you can vote for anyone else besides Richard Moll after hearing him unleash that blood curdling scream, than you simply have no taste.

@Pgirts I'm sorry, but just because someone doesn't vote for Moll doesn't mean that they have no taste. It's that the have a differnt opinion.

@Anicomicgeek Agreed. There's others who are just as good as Two-Face.

@Pgirts I respect the personal opinion of others, but you are absolutely right. After hearing how natural that rasp and gnarl comes to him and that awful scream, I don't know how you can vote for someone else.

@CLG When I first heard Richard Moll as Two-Face, he reminded be of Mr. Krabs. XD

I actually prefer Edwin and John. Moll and Baker sound awkardly forced, Troy is a tad bit more 'polished' then Richard (and his performance was a lot better though in Batman TAS he wasn't portrayed as well as in Arkham city). Remar is actually the better of the raspy takes since its not as forced.
I thought Neal was cool of giving him an unpredictable feeling and John well Moltyfool put it best, it sounded like he personalities were bleeding into each other which gives him this unpredictable feeling and that makes him sound much more sinister then any of the others.

@Music Meister I absolutely agree, also I felt Moll was always angry all the time thus wasn't able to show his other personality.
It's a shame Aaron eckhart isn't here, he's my favorite as he portrayed both sides of Two-face really well. :)

I wish we had heard some comparisons of their Harvey Dent and Two-Face voices, particularly in the case of Richard Moll since we know they he has to voice both. My vote is still with Richard Moll but Troy Baker is a close second.

Does Richard Moll Talk For Harvey Dent And Two Face
Replysaid at 5:26 AM on Sun Jan 8 2012
1. Richard Moll, 2. Edwin Neal, 3. Troy Baker, 4. John Fitzgerald and 5. James Remar, James just sounds lame not good at all no more to say

Now I am not saying this because I have any dislike for the other actors performances but I REALLY thought that Edwin Neal made him sound completely sinister! I think it comes to preference of characterization but I liked two-face the most in his portrayal ( based on the sound clip that is ). And while I don't think it fit the character, John Fitzgerald did a very good job with the acting, just not so much for Two-Faces character. Now the only problem is you can't tell when they are Harvey and when they are Two-Face, which Troy Baker and James Remar did well with. Now everyone really likes Richard Moll and I can see why but I want to put in my two cents on his portrayal. Now I always like to think of two face as a dual personality kind of guy. Moll's performance sounds like its Harvey but as a bad guy and not as a seperate being all together. Its a sinister Harvey Dent but its still Dent. While I do like that portrayal of the character, there are other portrayals I like more. This is going to be tough to say and even though I think Richard Moll is great with the role, I'm going to have to go with Edwin Neal.

Troy Baker Is the Best Two-Face in the Batman franchise... I'm voting 4 him all the Way!!!
Replysaid at 4:57 PM on Sat Nov 12 2011
I grew up with Richard Moll as a kid, and the Two-Face voice was pretty darn scary and impressive. But looking back, it seems more forced and raspy. Troy's sounds more natural and more intimidating, because he sounded as though he was actually switching between Harvey Dent and Two-Face. Richard's was impressive, but sounded too much as Two-Face all the time.
Replysaid at 4:28 PM on Tue Nov 8 2011
It is disappointing that they didnt put any of Moll's Harvey Dent voice in the compare. That would have made sense, but they didn't so boohoo :( I have to say he is my second pick. Fitzgerald is too much like Moll's to me. Troy's okay at best. Remar... I just hate Brave and the Bold so there is that. Completely backtracks the progress BTAS made. My favorite is Neal's and I think the clip they chose for him helped with my choice.

Much to my own surprise, the more I listen to it, the more I am diggin' John Fitzgerald's take. Growing up as a kid in the 90's of course Richard Moll defined the role for me, and all these people did really good jobs. For me, it comes down to a difference of interpretation.
I understand the reasoning behind the growl-ey voice that Moll and the others have used, and it works well, I am just finding myself gravitating more towards the single voice that Fitzgerald provided for both characters, and I have two reasons for that.
1) It sounds more natural and I think it's more realistic, given the circumstances. Yes people do change their voices so it's not impossible it's a conscious thing on his part, or one could argue his vocal cords may have been damaged when his face got messed up, but I think if given to the wrong actor the growl could end up sounding REALLY silly. With Fitzgerald, he's just got a darker tone and his voice has a lot of presence to it.
2) This may seem odd, but with the others, switching back and forth between the voices, it gives Two-Faces personas each a distinctive feel and sound. With Fitzgerald...sometimes, I honestly couldn't tell which side was in control. Was he leaning more towards Harvey or Two-Face? This may seem like a detriment, but I actually find it very effective. With the others, you always knew who was in control. With Fitzgerald, it felt like the two were almost...bleeding into one another, and too me, I think it's actually scarier when you can't always tell who's in charge, who you are dealing with.
Overall, yeah, all of them did good, I just think I favor the interpretation Fitzgerald went with.

I'm going with James Remar on this. The fact he switched voices to represent which persona was speaking reminds me a little of how The Long Halloween and Dark Victory handled it.

On (no pun intented) second thought, Richard Moll, though he should've alternated voices for the personas, is indeed better, so I'm gonna change my vote to him.

First in my opinion is Richard Moll the original voice of Two-Face as he is the one the fans hear in the comics. He is also obviously the inspiration for Troy Baker and Edwin Neal's performance Second is Troy Baker and since Richard Moll already had a vote I gave it to him as I vote on performance not nostalgia. Third is Edwin Neal who is quite threatening but doesn't match Richard Moll or Edwin Neal. Fourth is John Fitzgerald because he did a good voice but he played Harvey Dent only and not Two-Face but he definitely got Harvey Dent's suffering down. Last is James Remar nothing personal but I think he was in my opinion the weakest of the voices but was still good over all.
