Following the Flashpoint, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events. Harvey Dent was a boy who grew up in Gotham where it was said his father was a politician. Notable for being an evil man, his father was said to had gambled and gotten drunk with him constantly abusing Harvey. It was shown that his decision to beat his son stemmed from the flip of a coin. Sometime later, he was noted to had tied his father up and left him trapped in their house for days until the police finally found him. his led to Harvey being sent to the Arkham boys rehabilitation home upstate where he came to meet Bruce Wayne who had been sent there to better handle the grief of the death of his parents. During this time, the two became good friends though neither knew the identity of the other until years later. (All-Star Batman v1 #3)
Despite shooting himself in the head, Two-Face still survived his injuries and was found by two criminals who considered selling him to the highest bidder. They kept Dent with them when they were approached by the Joker who looked to help Two-Face.

Once restored, Dent then went about forming the Church of the Two and began a new wave of crime in the city. (Detective Comics v1 #1022)

Notes
- Two-Face was created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane where he made his first appearance in Detective Comics v1 #66 (August, 1942).
- In an interview, writer Greg Rucka said, "Renee and Harvey have always had a very odd bond, as far as I’ve written them, going back to the very first Renee story I did for DC, "Two Down". It’s never been just cop-and-criminal between them. There’s a peculiar understanding between them; Renee, to me, has always been able to see the path of Harvey’s madness in a way that even Batman has never negotiated. I’m not sure I’d ever call them friends, especially after what he’s put her through, but Renee has always been sympathetic to him, at least, and that care, that guardianship, drives much of our story."
