well, I'll reserve judgement until I see the film. and, after seeing it and seeing the story in full.....I'll like or except this plot point better.
It's just that since Ledger's death, I really haven't been keeping up-to-date with this movie. So, this news was really unexpected for me.....

It has been stated numerous times that Harvey is the backbone of this film, Brock in SM3 was not. As unhappy as it makes me that Harvey dies, this is still "his" movie and he is not wasted. I have come to terms with this plot point and as saddening as it may be, it sounds like it works perfectly. I obviously will wait till I actually see the movie to judge how it works but from what I've been reading in reviews Harvey is nota wasted character at all.
Brock/Venom was merely thrown into SM3 to make the fans happy. Harvey/Two-Face as stated before, is the backbone of the film, so I have faith as to how the downfall and death will be addressed.
Yeah...read the links, and I'm still not convinced that anyone can confirm anything. I'll apologize to every member of this site if Harvey AND Two-Face are both (beyond a shadow of a bat, er... I mean doubt) dead by the end of this film. But let it be known that I expect the same in the event the opposite occurs. Cheers!
...They've SEEN the goddamn movie.
You know what? Think what you want. But you ARE wrong. Call me rude, ignorant, or whatever pleases you. But that's just the damn truth.

YES!!!!!!!! yes we do! holy ****ing ****. HE IS DEAD, just ****ing DEAD
OK. You may be right. Now, if I were Nolan, how do I bring this film to a close? Maybe Joker can just disappear. But you can't have both Harvey AND Joker disappear. Too many loose ends. What if they capture Harvey? Well, then you wonder if he gets better, or worse, or what happens to him. Still a loose end. So to end the film, you create a situation where Harvey at least appears to be definitely dead. That ends the story about Batman's hope to call it quits, in fact it wraps up any open-ended questions about Dent. Death is the ultimate answer.
How could they mistake someone else's body for Dent's? I grant it's sticky - with a DA they'd make damn sure it was really the right body they found, right? But we've all seen movies where they explain how they faked a dead body. Maybe Harvey switches his medical records with someone he throws off a building. He has a very good reason for faking his death - by this point everyone is after him, including The Batman. Hard for a guy like Two Face to hide.
Maybe Nolan leaves us a little clue about this no one has noticed yet. Certainly we'd have to wait until the next film is cast to know if Harvey is REALLY dead.
You may be right, he may be dead. I have no doubt Gordon and Batman are near a body and there is a funeral. No argument there. All I'm saying is, if you are Nolan you want the story to come to a conclusion (after 2 1/2 hours), so maybe you insert a plot device that ends it, but maybe you also plan on exploiting some trap door (or allowing the next director to do so) to bring Harvey into the next film.
It has been stated numerous times that Harvey is the backbone of this film, Brock in SM3 was not. As unhappy as it makes me that Harvey dies, this is still "his" movie and he is not wasted. I have come to terms with this plot point and as saddening as it may be, it sounds like it works perfectly.

All I want to say, is that if Harvey indeed dies - as it seems to be the case - Nolan will break my heart, and I mean it, I know it will be beautifully done, make sense and itīll make a great story, itīs just that I love the Harvey Dent character, I dunno why, i could never explain it, I like Harbey more so than Two-Face, when i saw Harvey screaming "NO !!" in the first trailer it gave me the goosebumps, so i know that when I see Harvey dying on screen, itīll bring a tear to my eye...
And that, my friends - even when I pray for that not to happen - is what I call absolutely brilliant movie making.

you, my friend, are the one being naive. do you think a respected critic (like mori from aicn, who has a huge fan following) would risk his reputation just to fool you? after the film comes out it would have made a liar out of him and all the others who have confirmed the death. credibility out the window...forever.

No no....
Rude is having something confirmed ten times over and then having someone discard it just because it was something they didnt want to hear....
Ignorance is having people, with no reason to lie and are considered credible, who have...I dunno...WATCHED THE MOVIE, given you SPECIFIC details so that there is no question left...and then having someone ask even more stupid questions when the issue is done....
Immaturity is having people whine about it and comparing it to a film where the main character spends his time with an emo hgaircut and dancing like a john travolta reject.....
I mean...what gives?

I guess that is why he is in that particular scene then. Silly me.
Surely you can understand that I assumed that the funeral was somewhat premature. Thinking he was dead they had a funeral. He was in fact not dead but missing and royally Two-faced.

although I know he dies and there may or may not be a funeral
But after the hospital explosion that harvey is presumably in
and then the bar scene we see with the cop thinking he died
its likely that is what the pic is from because that doesnt look like a proper funeral to me just a public hearing of harveys death

but that is not his funeral, (maybe it is at the end but there will be a proper funeral not that its possibly the reason the cop thinks he died thus explosion hospital)
it does not look like a funeral but a tv report on obviouslyhis death

Does anyone know if theres a twist plot in TDK like there was in BB?
If there is one maybe it is that Two-Face isn't really dead. Its been said in a review that Two=Face has a comic book death. Which means that its an apparent death, and could be still alive.
If Two-Face is to be in the 3rd film, what would be his motive to return? Revenge on the batman? IMO what they should do is have Two=Face return to Gotham as Hush, and at some point to be revealed as Two=Face.
The Riddler is might be in the 3rd film, if so maybe the film will be based on part of the Hush Storyline, and mostly on Dark Victory.

TWO FACE IS NOT A VILLAIN..................That's the whole point and that's why killing him is no big deal, WE assumed that two face could be/would be the center of the third one but he's not, that's not Nolans' way !!! Two face/ Dent is the whole arc of the movie and was never meant to be part of the third one in Nolan's mind......it's just that we thought about this movie in classic/usual comic book movie terms but it's not what we should have done !!!:o:o

Two-Face isn't a villain guys! God! He's a regular boyscout! He makes Superman look downright evil by comparison. :whatever:
The 'Face isn't a villain' arguments are really tiring now, Two-Face has always been a villain. A tradgic villain? Maybe. A conflicted Villain? Definitely. Nevertheless he's always been a villain, an antagonist to Batman's protagonist. He's also one of the few bat-rogues left that could carry a film by himself.
This is why the decision to kill him off, with no hope for return, angers me somewhat, it puts the rest of the franchise in danger of going the way of Batman Forever/& Robin.
I say end this series here. It dies with Two-Face.

Two-Face isn't a villain guys! God! He's a regular boyscout! He makes Superman look downright evil by comparison. :whatever:
The 'Face isn't a villain' arguments are really tiring now, Two-Face has always been a villain. A tradgic villain? Maybe. A conflicted Villain? Definitely. Nevertheless he's always been a villain, an antagonist to Batman's protagonist. He's also one of the few bat-rogues left that could carry a film by himself.
This is why the decision to kill him off, with no hope for return, angers me somewhat, it puts the rest of the franchise in danger of going the way of Batman Forever/& Robin.
I say end this series here. It dies with Two-Face.
we could say he's a villain because he kills people but in TDK he seems to be doing it for particular reasons and he's not the usual villain we've all seen in the comics...it's been said mulltiple times in the reviews: Nolan is reinventing the characters of the batworld in his own fresh way and that includes a two face who is more of a fallen angel than a pure villain in the traditional way.....!

The only one I can see really working with Nolan at the helm is The Riddler. I wouldn't bank on Catwoman, if I remember rightly Nolan himself said he found the character one-dimensional and wouldn't 'fit in' with his vision of the Batman world.

1. nolan and eckhart have said repeatedly that Two Face in the nolanverse is more vigilante than villain.
2. I'm not even going to respond to the blackout, as its fanboy whining and hyperbole...

I'd hardly call myself a fanboy, or a comic book purist, I've read about 5 Batman comics in my entire life, if that. I just think this decision puts the Batman film franchise in danger. I franchise I quite like and will continue to like.
The Dark Knight looks like an absolute masterpiece I've never doubted that for a moment, i just feel a sense of longing or regret at not getting a Two-Face centric 3rd film, if we even get a 3rd film at all I'll be surprised.

All we need is a great story.. with a good plot.. throw in some action scenes here and there.. and a few new bat vehicles (i'd love to see a batplane or a batcopter) and im sure nolan can cook something up...

Hey there, this is my first post so I hope to make a good first impression. I've been looking at your forums since early yesterday because the Two Face dies thing got me really worried. However, I'm starting to believe its either just an elaborate hoax, or a rumor that got out of control. Here's the reasons why:
1) Nobody has been able to provide substantial proof for this ending. All I've heard is people say "But I read it in reviews from respectable sites that have no reason to lie!" That's all fine and dandy but... where? Any time someone asks for the source, the poster fails to give it. It's hard to believe something without proof. Even that picture that was posted several pages back: that could be anywhere in the movie (likely at the end, admittedly). There could be a Dent funeral before the scene where the cop thinks Dent's dead... but he's only "Half". If you disagree, show me proof, not spoiler text that RAVES that I'm wrong.
2) Conflicting reports. I've read so many different accounts on how it happens its insane. Car crash, shot, and fell off a building? Which one is it folks? And that Two-Face goes after Gordon's family just doesn't ring true to me. Dent was Gordon's ally, he's after the mob not his friend. Also, one of the accounts that described the events claims that Batman kills the Joker... with a knife! But I digress, I don't believe a word of it.
Okay, so it's only two reasons, but still, if you can counter those points then please do. I don't mean to be critical, but there have been some people that are so adamant that Harvey Dent/Two-Face dies that they've become what seems to me to be rude. I ask for proof, not enlarged spoiler text.
Also, while Two-Face is (obviously) my favorite Batman villain (even after he's scarred, who would have thought?!) I am okay with his fate as long as it's done well. I'm just pointing out, if that makes sense. Again, forgive me if I come across as rude.

Two Face could be killed, bagged, tagged and buried and still reappear in the third film, depending on the will of the director, whoever that might be. Audiences won't mind a small incision in logic if it allows patient Narrative to keep up her strength.
HarveyTwoFace
07-02-2008, 07:25 PM
Hm, I don't think they would do that though, to be honest. Nolan is too realistic of a director (the Prestige notwithstanding) to just make such an extreme change of direction.
Honestly though, I'm still not totally convinced, mostly because I'm such a Two-Face fan I'll have to see it to believe it. There are still some inconsistencies that bug me. For example, that Duffer guy who's comments were linked to a few posts above, he claims that The Joker drives the Batman to a point where he springs a knife from his glove and slits the clowns throat! Now that, to me, sounds like the Joker one, right there. Batman crossed his line, proved the Joker's point. He also said that Gordon shot Two-Face several times is how he died. This is a direct contradiction it seems, and this is all from Talkbacks on AICN.
Also, a (convieniently deleted) review from Latino Review claims that the last we see of Two-Face is in a car wreck. Not falling from a building. I'm not too sure about this one since not only is it not there anymore, but I only heard about it secondhand. But it's from nice respectable people like yourselves on another forum.
And you're right M.O.M.D. this is what I get for going to a spoiler forum.

If Two Face really does die (which I fully believe he does based on the reviews and new info, and if Nolan is back for the third film then Two Face definitely won't be in it, unless there is a flashback.

Thats competely false. Nothing in that post is true. I'm not even sure the poster was trying to be serious.

I'll just point out that the description of Clayface is dragged directly from Batman: The Animated Series. Also, if the Penguin is too odd for Nolan's vision (which he has said he is) then I think this would be too.
You don't honestly believe that do you? :dry:

When you say the poster, do you mean me or the guy who posted that Talkback? If you mean that guy, that's pretty much the description I've heard from other people as well. I'm not joking, I swear I'm just trying to show you the kinds of things I've seen.
Most people say that Dent takes Gordon's family hostage because Dent blames Gordon for Rachel Dawes' death. While fighting for his family, supposedly Gordon shoots Dent several times and he somehow falls to his death. Or something stupid like that. And like I said, I've heard that Batman supposedly slits the Joker's throat. I call shenanigans, but whatever.
And to Venom, I do believe that the talkback poster's description of the said character is from Batman the Animated Series. I have the DVD with the episodes featuring him on it. And about the Penguin thing, I do believe Nolan thinks the Penguin is too out there for him. I didn't say I agreed. This was back when people thought Philip Seymour Hoffman was going to play "a British Arms dealer" by the name of the Penguin. He likely was thinking along the lines of the Animated Series and Batman Returns Penguin, when he's pretty mutated and acts like a bird, not the more recent version where he's just a mob-type character with a penchant for fabulous fowls. And yes, I went there.

I'm talking about this:
***WARNING. I AM WARNING YOU RIGHT ****ING NOW. DO NOT READ BELOW THIS IF YOU DO NOT WANT THE DARK KNIGHT SPOILED FOR YOU. THIS IS SERIOUS ****.*** Rachel Dawes dies. The Joker dies. Two-Face dies. Batman and Alfred cry like babies while hugging each other. Jim Gordon kills Two-Face. Batman kills The Joker after The Joker learns his identity and threatens Alfred's life. The Joker drops Rachel Dawes out of a window but she only breaks one leg and both arms but then the Joker stabs her in the heart (literally) later right in front of Batman. Bat Girl is introduced (sort of, it's actually Barbara Gordon, Jim's daughter, but no mention of Bat Girl really). Clayface is introduced at the very end of the film in a very strange way so he will probably be the main villain in the 3rd film. There is an actor on TV who has a "bizarre skin reaction" to a cosmetic skin cream which made his hands "like melted caramel" according to a doctor's report. That's about it, folks. The movie ****in rocked. If you can see it in IMAX, THEN GO ****ING SEE IT IN IMAX!!! THE ACTION SCENES ARE ****ING BRILLIANT!!! Best movie of the year by far.
I put it in spoiler tags to not piss anyone off, but 99% of it is fake. There is no Clayface intro, and no Killer Croc cameo. The Barbara Gordon in the movie is Jim Gordon's wife, not daughter (and she doesn't become Bat Girl.) The shananigans about Batman killing Joker isn't true either, same goes for Joker stabbing Rachel in front of Batman. Thats definitely not happening..

Alright this is how it goes down, all of it:
Rachel and Harvey are kidnapped.
Joker gives Batman there addresses
Batman goes to save Rachel. Gordon goes to save Harvey.
When Batman gets to where Rachel is he finds Harvey. There is an explosion and Harvey is scarred.
Gordon shows up where Dent is supposed to be late, there is an explosion and Rachel dies.
Two-Face blames Dent for the death of Rachel so he take his family hostage.
Batman shows up and Two-Face is killed (Not by Batman)
Joker does NOT die in TDK – he is arrested at the end
Two-Face is dead. All the way Dead.
Batman takes credit for the people two-face killed (the guy in the bar etc. - which happens before two-face's 'actual' death) so the the image of Harvey Dent is not ruined.
Batman goes on the run.

I have seen most of that from several different sources, but I don't remember any of the links. I definitely would post them if I remembered.

Also, Turtlefocker is, IMO, one of the most reliable posters when it comes to info on SHH, so I trust him, especially since I and several other users have seen most of that info in previous reviews.

Even though, I don't know why Badtaste would have the entire movie plot (which is what that is, as soon as I saw that I didn't read it. I already know enough).

Oh I completely understand. I like to know where info comes from too, and to make sure it is legit before believing it.
Off topic kinda, but I am still curious about Maroni's trial. The scene is described in the casting sides, and it seems like most of the sides are pretty accurate so far. I was told that the scene is in the movie, and is "chaotic" but if its not when Dent is scarred what else could happen there.

My source about Maroni's trial is reliable, I mean he was in the scene, he just never said what happened in the scene, just that it takes place. I just put two and two together I guess, with what I was told along with the casting sides and what Eckhart said.

Two-Face has always been a fantastic character to me. He's underused in the comics though, and it's kind of sad for me at least. He's best used when he's a stark reminder of someone Batman failed to save. Just think, every time Dent kills someone for whatever reason, Batman thinks, "That man used to be my friend."
But anyway Bkey, I'm not too sure... but those are the things I was expecting to see discussed when I first got here :P

I'm mostly indifferent to where it actually takes place, so long at the scene itself is great a relavant. I liked the TAS way because it gave Dent a bit of a vendetta against Batman that TLH didn't.

well, batman didn't do anything to dent in TAS. it wasn't premeditated. it was an accident, and two-face blamed thorne, batman was just in the way of two-face getting to thorne. you can make batman feel responsible for not being able to save him, but you can't really say that two-face has a vendetta against a man that didn't cause what happened to him.
i never saw two-face as being around as a villain because of batman; that's what the joker is for. i see two-face as a vigilante on the verge of becoming a hardcore villain. before the scarring he did what batman does but by using the law in his favor. him, gordon, and batman got rid of all the mobs in gotham. i think the movie is doing this too. after he's scarred he goes after the people responsible. it was never batman, it was the mob and all of the people that gave him up to the mob.
having the joker be responsible for the scarring makes no sense to me. sure he's chaotic but it's against batman, anyone else in the way would just be killed. it also makes maroni's role less important. ok he's the new head of the falcone crime family, but how is that a big deal? he plays a major factor in dent's comic origin. having him in the movie and not having him become responsible for scarring dent makes him very unimportant to the story.

See I don't like that, I like to think of Dent and Batman as friends who don't always see eye to eye. They both want justice, but Harvey is willing to go over the line and Batman's not. It's really Batman's one rule that separates the two. I've always preferred Dent as a vigilante rather than a normal criminal.

They say that have the utmost respect for the comics, then they wouldn't let Two-Face bite the dust. He is a major figure in the Batman franchise. I just don't see how you can introduce a character and then just kill them off.

I very much agree
I dont doubt that it will be fun to watch in this movie and done very well
But still it is a mistake
P3 would be alot better if he was in it, albiet if heath didnt die, BB3 might have been looking alot better right now:( . However one thing thats somewhat worth noting is that we've heard numerous times and Im sure we can see that BB is very different from TDK, and Im sure part 3 will be no exception, thus maybe he has something totally unexpected for P3. Although I dont think it will be able to top this movie nor top what it could have been if face or heath were alive.:(

Batman's going to change regardless of the events of this film.
A third film could still be great without certain characters. But let's face it, an ongoing Batman universe is more interesting when it's a universe that continues on with characters we've come to love. It doesn't work so well when some of the more interesting characters it's been built up around aren't anywhere to be found. It begins to feel more like a staged episode, and less like a world.

Exactly. And it'd be interesting, considering Batman would have to "protect" the mob from Two-Face. Adds a great dynamic.
Second movie: he struggles with becoming a monster himself.
Third movie: he struggles with protecting monsters in the name of justice.

Sorry but Nolan IS building his own batworld....it's just that he's doing it through story arcs and themes revolving around Batman hismelf and not by relying on successive appearances of different characters, mainly the villains who will obvsiously change at each particular film !
That's why the critics (IMO) are frequently talking about TDK as a film who will change the way you look at movies and franchises !!!:cwink:

Why?
With the amazing performance heath was giving and Joker being Batmans most popular and intresting character, Im sure Nolan didnt have to think twice that he wanted to keep him around for p3.
I believe joker would be in P3 most definately if heath were alive, now obviously alot less likely
So give Nolan the benefit of the doubt that he would have carried on a Villain for two installments if heath were alive.

i mean is that seriously it? with all the other spoilers coming from people who've seen the film i can't get more detail?
From what I can remember reading ...
Basically The Joker kidnaps Dent and Rachel and put them in two warehouses set to explode and Batman has to choose only one to save. There given the addresses of these warehouse and Batman goes to the one Rachel is at. But there's a twist! The Joker switched the addresses so really Batman arrives at the one Dent is at and during the process Dent is scarred. The other warehouse with Rachel blows up.
Anyone help themselves to correct me or fill in any gaps

thanks very much. that's actually quite a clever way to do it if they weren't going to take the traditional approach

I'm not sure if this was mentioned before (I'm sure it has been) but I was watching the WW footage and i noticed that before Dent becomes two-face he uses his right hand (toasting at Waynes party holding the coin) and then after he uses his left hand (holding the gun and drinking the shot)
I wonder if they are going to use that to differentiate between the two

IMO, Two-Face deserved to live.

he gets burned, seriously. You can watch the trailer and it shows him on the ground with gasoline on the ground
Actually Major Spoiler
I don't think that's how it happens because that scene to me looks like where the Joker kidnaps Rachael and Harvey Dent and ties them both to chairs and leaves them both in a some gasoline but the thing is I heard that Dent does not get scared during that scene I heard it happens in a court room.

Um:
In "The Long Halloween" Batman story, which is a book I heard they were basing a lot of this movie on, Harvey Dent gets scarred in a court room by Sal Maroni by acid from an Antacid bottle. But this is Maroni in the picture with him. So, unless the Joker Scars him via gasoline instead, I'm curious as to how Dent would be involved with Maroni. In the books, he Maroni dies after messing up Dent's face.
Just a thought. The movie is going to kick ass regardless.

I do not care at all how Harvey Dent is scarred, whether someone tosses acid on his face, he's set on fire, or some other sort of accident occurs. I don't care about Dent's fate at the end of the movie, whether he lives, dies, or if it's ambiguous. What I do care about is how the character is portrayed, and whether he is an actual presence in the film or just thrown in there to please fanboys (ala Eddie Brock/ Venom). This is a movie on it's own, and I plan to judge it as a movie, not as an adaptation of the comics. I want to see Two-Face done with cinematic justice (much like the Joker), and if an origin change and death is necessary to do that on film, then so be it.

Here's what I don't get. In The Long Halloween Two-Face is a lot like this version, a vigilante doing what needs to be done. But how can the character work in any other way? I mean, if Two-Face is an outright villain how the hell is that supposed to work? If he's like a homicidal lawyer taking justice outside the courtroom I can appreciate that. By using giant coins? Robbing banks?
How does that benefit the character? At all?

Um you lost me where did you hear Two Face will rob a bank? Unless you are talking about Tommy Lee Jones Two Face.

The origin story they did for Two Face in the BTAS is alot like this, too.
In BTAS, Harvey was trying to take down Rupert Thorne's criminal organization. After Harvey becomes scarred because of Thorne, as Two Face he sets out to take down Thorne once and for all.

...and then they had him robbing banks or holding the city hostage for money for no reason, and is even seen playing poker with The Joker, Killer Croc, and Poison Ivy :cwink:. All the more reason why Two-Face doesn't really work as a villain and more as a vigilante.
Possible shot of Two-Face?
