    Gambling and math would seem to me the opposite of two face's concepts. IE the classic coin flip is because he considers 50/50 luck to be fairness. Gambling maths are typically, figuring out how to make something unfair in your favor.

    Or do the Rick and Morty thing and call him Two Halves Different face.

    Definitely not sorry to be that guy, but Gotham is in the United States, and we say "math" not "maths."

    Weird fact, as I was writing this my phone autocorrected "maths" as "Martha." I don't know how I feel about it.

    Yes, maths. It's the alternative short form of mathematics.

    It's more of a British phrase although Numberphile did a deep dive on the root of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbZCECvoaTA.

    Agreed. I'm British and became a Canadian Citizen when I was 9 and moved back and forth a lot between the two countries.

    When I moved back to the UK when I was 25 -- I actually had to get used to hearing and saying "maths". I remember going to school in Sheffield when I was 14-15 and I must have heard it there but it still shocked me as an adult.
