Then later the 'Two-Face' persona ceases when Batman (voiced by Adam West) forces and makes his 'Harvey Dent' persona out again, overtake it and stays that way. (I don't know if this would even count as a 'temporary' death scene, but I'll list it in case).
- Tomb: Devil's Revenge (2019) [Hayes]: Killed in an explosion after sacrificing himself to let Jason Brooks, Jeri Ryan, and Ciara Hanna and Robert Scott Wilson to escape from the devil's cave. This turns out to be an illusion made by the devil; he survives the movie in reality.
