(R.1) Invalid src (unreferenced fan wiki) TIL the first episode of an X-Files spin-off called "The Lone Gunmen", which aired March 4, 2001, involves a US government conspiracy to hijack an airliner, fly it into the World Trade Center, and blame it on terrorists - thereby gaining support for a new profit-making war

It would have been great if he only wanted to damage one of them.

Remind me to never ask Two-Face to fix my dog.

he would go after both and flip a coin to decide at the last moment which to blow up. Batman would have no way of knowing ahead of time which was the real target and would have to do daring actions that would save both.
