Yeah, well as opposed to Superman, and the like, with actual super powers.

No way anything about that was an accident.

Studies show more time spent in the store equates to more sales. They have to measure time in store and extra sales against time to reorganize. As regular time moves forward it becomes increasingly worth more to rearrange until it outweighs the time to reorganize by a certain margin.

*$80 for a $10 2-person meal (if you made it yourself probably)

Yes. I drink a beer and I'm hungover for 2 weeks. No shit.

Edit: I hit it hard in my younger years, probably ruined my liver beyond the point of healing itself.

Well, back in 19 and dickaty-2 there was whisperings of a movie tie-in. The money spent, well I won't bore you with that, wouldn't mean much these days. But let's say it was epic - do people still say that? Boy, they used to.

Anyway, they rushed to production and built a million billion cartridges. Do you know what those are? These little black boxes that had the whole video game on these massive chips. Of course they were small in those days.

So they send it to market and it doesn't work. So then nobody bought it. And did you know, they buried all those cartridges way out in the desert some where, and that's where the aurora borealis comes from - the sky used all those chips to paint pretty pictures. And the video game industry began a bloodless vendetta that's still around today, to make up for that blunder by making as much money as possible, even if the game's not worth it.

I think that's the interesting thing about batman. He's just a dude.

Granted, he has a lot of money, but at the end of the day, he's just a dude, that enjoys solving mysteries. He's a hobbyist detective.

So yeah, all his villains are going to have similar abilities (Later they had the clay guy and croc and people with actual super powers). But the idea was for a guy that just liked solving crime.

And you have to make that memorable and go in on what's vogue at the time - so they made him have this whole bat identity. And ok, that adds an interesting back story, and similarly the villains need to be memorable too, but not super-powered.

So the villains, are some of the most interesting because they can't just do something because their super-powers granted them the ability, they have to actually think and plan and have interesting motives.

And two-face is either an agent of chaos or presldestination. And to my knowledge they never explore that, it's open to your interpretation.

Edit: batman also came out at a time when mental illness was really starting to affect society. Back in the day if you were mentally ill, they just called it evil, and put you to death. But then people started examining stuff like that and say "Hey, we might be able to help these people." So then you have the state-run looney bins which is rich soil for batman-type villains.
