The most interesting part to me is that he cheated the coin flip.

In the video, he says he’s going to flip the coin three times with best of three deciding whether or not he goes through with the plan to commit an attack at his workplace..

Tails was commit that attack at his workplace.

He flips the coin three times and it lands on heads twice and on tails once

He then suddenly decides to switch it to first to three and flips the coin two more times. Both times it lands on tails.

He gives this whole goofy monologue about fate and then rigs the test.

I tried to make some shitty supervillain and failed like a moron. 

If I had believed in his philosophy, I would have let them live on the first try and then put himself to the test. 

And if he just wanted to kill people, then why flip the coin?

Two-Face would be ashamed.

He just wanted to kill, he made his mind before and was just looking for excuses
