Sorry, I misremembered. "Two Face" was a Batman villain - a DA gone bad. "Haf 'n Haf" was the similarly afflicted Dick Tracy villain and is a case of Chester Gould stealing from Batman rather than the other way around which happened more often. I keep forgetting that it's only in the last decade or two that Batman has developed into a complicated and tortured hero. Back when I was a kid his world differed from Tracy's mainly in that the cop had a girl friend (Am I remembering correctly that her name was Tess Truelove?) and Batman ran around with a boy in tights.
