Synopsis for Batman: "The End of Two-Face"
Two-Face escapes from prison and starts another crime spree, again with crimes based on the number two, and using his double-headed coin. Two-Face and his gang terrorize Gotham City but sometimes they do some good deeds.
Batman and Robin investigate the case, and Bruce goes undercover to learn of Two-Face's activities. When he finally learns about Two-Face's plan, Batman and Robin attempt to stop him, but Two-Face manages to escape. However, during the entire confrontation, a cloaked figure has been closely watching.
The Dynamic Duo follow Two-Face to his secret hideout and while Robin takes care of the henchmen, Batman tries to convince Kent to give up his life of crime and return to the good side of the law. Two-Face won't listen, and he shoots at Batman. But just at that moment, the cloaked person enters the room to stop Kent from shooting... but it is too late, and Gilda Kent is seriously injured. With her dying breath, Gilda tells them that she tried to stop Harvey out of love, and Two-Face finally realizes that he is not loveless. Batman and Kent take Gilda to a hospital and the doctor informs them that she is going to live, but that she keeps asking for Harvey. After talking with Gilda, Harvey Kent decides to change his life and stop being Two-Face.
However, as Two-Face is carried out of the hospital by a police officer, his henchmen intervene and take Two-Face away from the place. When Kent informs them that he is going straight, they tie him up and force him to tell them one of his master plans. Batman and Robin manage to find Kent's location and with his help, they stop the thugs from successfully robbing a train station. During the fight, Two-Face saves Batman's life, and soon the police arrive and arrest all the criminals.
In the aftermath, Harvey Kent's face is restored by plastic surgery and the sentence for his crimes is reduced, thanks to his recent change. While he stays in prison for just one year, he proposes to Gilda and together they make plans for their future.
At Batman's secret hall of trophies, the caped crusader adds another item to his collection: Two-Face's coin.
