Interesting information about Two-Face's origin (this is very minor).

Re: Interesting information about Two-Face's origin (this is very mino

Oh, is that the guy that Superman ran across the Atlantic to carry over in a car for no comprehensible reason? Of course, you could probably append "for no comprehensible reason" to the description of any event or action that occurs within All Star G*dd*mn Batman and Robin. (And F***ing Batgirl!)

^^Or maybe Lyle Waggoner, Korman's Carol Burnett co-star. He was considered quite the handsome leading-man type, and he was actually the runner-up to Adam West for the role of Batman. A fitting choice for Harvey Dent -- although of course villains in the Batman sitcom almost never had their backstories or real names used. There was no Oswald Cobblepot or Selina Kyle or Edward Nygma, just Penguin, Catwoman, and Riddler. A rare exception was Mad Hatter, who was identified onscreen as Jervis Tetch. And a few of the made-up villains had civilian identities established, including Victor Buono's King Tut, who was a mild-mannered professor most of the time. (Heck, they never even established Commissioner Gordon's first name or Alfred's last name.)

Korman's acting career began in 1960, and The Carol Burnett Show began in 1967, a year after Batman. So he would've been well-known for that and as the voice of the Great Gazoo in The Flintstones. And perhaps also for his appearance in the film Lord Love a Duck (starring Roddy MacDowall, who menaced Adam West's Batman as the Bookworm and much later menaced Kevin Conroy's Batman as the voice of the Mad Hatter). However, availability would've been an issue, for him and for Waggoner.
On that note, my personal pick for the 1960's "Batman's" Two-Face would have been Robert Wagner. :borg:

^ Did you know that Batman creator Bob Kane frequently said that he pictured a young Robert Wagner as Batman/ Bruce Wayne?

(BTW, I could definitely see him as Harvey in the 1960s Batman show. Nice call)
