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.
I was gonna make the same point, but Bruce Wayne canonically studied at Cambridge and across Europe. No way he's going through that without at least using the two interchangeably.
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.

Yet even in his totally fair game, he utilizes proportions.

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.

So they just teach the one math then? Would explain why you can’t count to 24.

Hilarious, still underrated webcomic.

I was struggling to think of how I could post to the comics communities, but I remembered this gem that I read through years ago.
Have you played Battle of the Bands?

Maths?
Enkers@sh.itjust.works · 14 pts · 120d
Yes, maths. It's the alternative short form of mathematics.
Kowowow@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 120d
Not sure two face would use maths over math

If any villain would need a plural, it would be Two-Face

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.

Funny thing is as a canadian I've never heard anyone here use maths despite the queen's english

Would actually be funny if it ended at the 3rd panel
VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 pts · 120d
Turns out, cutting out half the joke gives you half a joke.
theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world · -3 pts · 120d
Yay! Now it ends with a puncline the way jokes are supposed to. Definitely way funnier.
VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 pts · 120d
The main punchline is in panel 5. I'll try to post shorter comics for you, bless.
theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 120d
I really disagree about the main punchline being panel 5, because the 3rd panel is honestly gold.
