Plot

Batman and Robin meet Gotham District Attorney Harvey Dent at a top-secret demonstration hosted by Professor Hugo Strange. Strange operates a machine called the "Evil Extractor" designed to siphon evil from criminals and store it in a vat. The containment vat explodes, drenching Dent with liquefied evil, which scars half his face and changes his personality, turning him into the Supercriminal "Two-Face". After being thwarted by Batman and Robin a number of times, Harvey is eventually given reconstructive surgery and allowed to resume crimefighting as the assistant to the Assistant District Attorney.

Six months later, the Dynamic Duo capture King Tut and his henchmen for stealing a biplane. Batman, Robin, Commissioner Gordon and Chief O'Hara interrogate King Tut's alter ego, Prof. McElroy, with O'Hara constantly hitting the professor on the head with his truncheon to switch his personality. At trial, McElroy's lawyer Lucilee Diamond implies that the concussion is no threat to a mild-mannered man. McElroy admits his guilt, ready to suffer the minimum penalty of being rehabilitated in prison. After the sentencing, Dent and Bruce Wayne share a highball just before Dent leaves to attend a charity for underprivileged twins at the Winning Pair casino.

A package arrives at Commissioner Gordon's office, a World Atlas book marked for Batman, with its pages eaten away in three holes. After investigating Bookworm as a suspect, Batman and Robin deduce that the stolen books were all about duality and their suspicions turn to Two-Face. They head to an abandoned sign factory, with Two-Face and his henchmen waiting for them. After defeating the goons, Two-Face pins them with a large number two and the flip of his coin landing on the right side spares their lives. Once they have left, Batman theorizes that the Rogues' Gallery are uniting against Dent for foiling their criminal schemes.

Following Dent back to the lab, Robin is ambushed by Two-Face. Professor Strange corrupts him with some of the liquid evil and Batman is forced to fight and subdue Robin. Robin is cured him back at the Batcave and they follow Two-Face to the Winning Pair Casino, where he is revealed to be Dent. Once the Dynamic Duo are strapped to a large silver dollar, Two-Face unmasks Batman and deduces Robin's true identity. He invites several other villains to bid for the knowledge of Batman and Robin's identities.

With Catwoman's help, Batman and Robin defeat the villains, but Two-Face gets away on the biplane stolen by King Tut, intending to use the evil gas to remake Gotham City in his image. The Dynamic Duo shoot him down and with Batman's help, Dent regains self-control, defeating Two-Face for good as they escape the factory.

The next morning, Batman and Robin use the Batwing to cure the infected Gothamites. Months later, Dent holds a bachelor auction at Wayne Manor with the Caped Crusader himself as the first bachelor. The first bid comes from Catwoman.
