    Some think that the Joker is the opposite of Batman since, unlike Batman who broods on criminality, the Joker simply thinks criminality is funny. Some think that Bane is the opposite of Batman since, unlike Batman who develops strength for focus on heroism, Bane magnifies his strength to create mayhem. Some think that Riddler is the opposite of Batman since, unlike Batman who tackles criminal insanity, the Riddler spreads insanity and confusion.

    However, it can be argued that Gotham City's opposing force to the Dark Knight is the rogue vigilante Two-Face.

    Two-Face was a normal District Attorney (named Harvey Dent) with unusual perspectives, but after an accident disfigured him and left him to brood on his ugliness, he donned the identity of a hideous dark prince and pursued avenues of extreme justice through methods of questionable vigilantism and unmitigated punishment.

    Batman has perspiration about the complications associated with extra-legal vigilantism, but Two-Face has perspiration about incomplete justice. Two-Face's obsessive focus on punishment makes him an unreliable officer of justice.

    So if we really want to get down to the nuts-and-bolts of vigilantism controversies in Batman (DC Comics) storyboards, we should talk about which storylines involve the imbalanced Two-Face. Do Batman stories specifically dealing with vigilantism controversies feel like they are offering adequate Two-Face continuity?
