Katsuro said:I'm not sure I understand. Batman can be friends with Gordon, but not Dent? What's the difference, really? As someone else said, Gordon and Dent should be very similar, and therefore be friends themselves. So if Batman and Gordon are friends, and Gordon and Dent are friends, shouldn't Batman and Dent be friends?
That's another advantage to Batman/Dent, the way Batman and Gordon handle it together. After Dent's fall, we can have scenes of Batman and Gordon discussing the loss of their mutual friend, and working together to bring him back. As opposed to Bruce Wayne losing a drinking buddy and then what? Whining about it to Alfred? This isn't a comic book, so we dont have inner monologue to hear Bruce's feelings on it. Him and Gordon talking about it externalizes that.
its not that, I can't see nolans batman engageing in those kinds of conversations with Gordon about dent. It just doesn't seem like he would consider anyone his friend, morel ike an alley. But still not enough of a "friendship" to show the kind of sympothy batman has shown for dent in the comics.
