YMMV / Batman: The Animated Series E11 "Two-Face: Part 2"

• Catharsis Factor: Thorne's second-in-command, Candace, has spent this episode and the previous one being extremely smug, haughty, and above-the-fray all while tricking Grace into leading Thorne to Two-Face's hideout under the guise of getting him mental help. As such, seeing her finally get a smackdown, by Grace no less, when she shrewdly attempts to attack Two-Face from behind with a large vase is rather satisfying.
• Designated Evil: Two-Face's decision to end Rupert Throne's life is portrayed as crossing the line. While it was more from feelings of Two-Face's personal vengeance than justice he sought back as when he saw himself as Harvey Dent, Rupert surviving has allowed him to be a Karma Houdini who keeps causing problems in later episodes, including in the following one. One could argue that Rupert's death might cause an Evil Power Vacuum and make things worse for Gotham but the series has never implied this as a possibility.
• Heartwarming Moments: Two-Face's mooks, despite being treated like every other mook in the show, realize how much Two-Face misses Grace, and offer multiple times to find her and bring her to him. When Two-Face finally decides to see her again, they bring her to him just like they said they would, and are perfectly polite to her whenever they interact.
• Harsher in Hindsight: The end of the episode has Batman throwing a silver dollar into a nearby wishing pond showing it landing face up and providing a Hope Spot that Harvey will be able to be redeemed someday. This never happens, and by the final episode, Harvey's gotten even worse, having developed a third personality called the Judge who ruthlessly attempts to murder his fellow Rogues, including himself.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: The way Batman thwarts Two-Face here (flinging a box of silver dollars while Harvey is doing one of his signature coin flips, triggering a Villainous Breakdown as he tries to find his actual coin in the confusion) is almost the exact same way (albeit nonfatally) he defeats Two-Face in Batman Forever.
• Narm: When Bruce's guilt fuelled dream isn't being tragic, it's this.
  Harvey: You were supposed to help me. But ya didn't!
• Tear Jerker: When Bruce's guilt fueled dream is being tragic, it so very much is this.
  Two-Face: Now LOOK AT ME!!!
  Batman: But I tried Harvey, I...[rope snaps and bridge collapses] Harvey!
  Two-Face: Why couldn't you SAVE MEEEEEEE?!
  Thomas Wayne: Why couldn't you save us, son?
  • In spite of the horrific nightmare, Bruce Wayne's pledge to save Harvey is both this and heartwarming.
  Bruce: Sleep well, my friend. Wherever you are, whatever you've become... I will save you. I swear.
