Incident Reports[]
Before Arkham Shadow Incident[]
Gilda married Gotham D.A. Harvey Dent. Though she loved her husband, his anger issues and mental condition caused Gilda to be scared of him on occasion. Eventually, Gilda learned of Harvey's childhood and the abusive relationship with his father Christopher, which caused her to resent Harvey's father for the abuse he inflicted on Harvey.
Holiday[]
Sometime later Gilda and Harvey's marriage started to deteriorate as she wanted to settle down and conceive a child while he was persistent on capturing most of Gotham Organized Crime. Shortly afterwards, a serial killer called Holiday began murdering several prominent gangsters.
Although the Holiday killer's identity was never truly publicly revealed, Harvey believed Gilda started the Holiday crimes, having committed all of the murders up until New Year's Eve, using evidence from Harvey's cases.
Arkham Shadow Incident[]
When Harvey began his therapy treatments with Dr. Jonathan Crane, he wanted to back out when the treatment became too much for him, but Crane convinced him to stay on by saying he should do it for Gilda.
After Arkham Shadow Incident[]
After Harvey's disfigurement and incarceration following the Rat King incident, Gilda left Gotham City, heartbroken over her husband's mental downfall.
Arkham City Incident[]
When interviewing Harvey, Hugo Strange brings up his mental unstableness during his time as District Attorney, commenting that Gilda found him "unpredictable" and "scary” which touched a nerve for Harvey.
