The Dark Knight Harvey Dent/Two Face Thread

[Reflectionist]

I agree.

Thanks. And, for what it's worth, I'd love to see someone try a manip of that sort of scarring.

 

[DiMiT]

I am content with the casting for Ηarvey Dent. Honestly, I like the actor and his work, no problems there... Βut, for me to say yes this was the right choice, without a shadow of a doubt? I reserve judgement.

I think the acid will leave different a kind of scarring than the fire that burnt Anakin. I'm not expecting it to look so charred.

Ok, I just added the tagline.

Oh, and here the pic for a concept of Two-face in TDK.

Why has his damaged skin tried to heal his mouth and eye shut? And how come he looks about 10? The poster is good, though. Who did it?

 

[Matt.S99]

Its ultimate Spidey, he always looked 10 and im guessing the skin just rand down maybe and healed up like that

hullo Two Face Thread!

i just made a manip and id like to know what you guys think. It's my first two face manip so be gentle.

This might be one of the best I've seen yet. Nice job.

I really hope that for Two Face, they imply that Harvey Dent had some pre-existing psychological problems before his face got scarred, like in BTAS. I never bought it how in some versions it's supposed to be the trauma of the scarring that causes him to go insane, because there are plenty of real people with marred faces who don't end up like Two Face. The scars should only be a catalyst that causes Harvey Dent's dark side to surface.

 

[DoctorJones]

I concur: if Nolan chose to move Dent's scarring to TDK rather than a third film, he must have had good ideas to help speed up the transformation.

 

[regwec]

He might have been saving those ideas for the third film, if he planned to make it. It would be in his style to show the transformation and then explain it from another perspective later.

Tommy Lee Jones Surprised by the Two Faces of Harvey Dent
8 Comments | Published by Larry Carroll on Thursday, November 8, 2007 at 1:54 pm.

Yesterday, we ran an item on Jack Nicholson’s bitterness over not being asked back to portray his legendary Batman baddie The Joker. Now, another former Gotham City menace is weighing in on the young whippersnapper who’ll squeeze into a previously-worn costume…and his tune is decidedly different.
“Really?” Tommy Lee Jones said over the weekend, when told that Harvey “Two-Face” Dent was appearing in next July’s Batman sequel “The Dark Knight.” “I thought he died.”

Well yeah, Tommy, your Two-Face fell to his death at the end of 1995’s “Batman Forever,” seemingly killing off the character. But now Chris Nolan has taken over the franchise after “Batman Begins,” and he gave you and Nicholson the Heisman in favor of “Dark Knight” villains Heath Ledger and Aaron Eckhart.

“Oh,” the Oscar winner replied, insisting that he hadn’t heard the casting news. “I didn’t know that.”

“But yeah, he’s a good guy,” Jones said of Eckhart’s selection as his successor. “I’ve worked with him. He’s an awfully good guy.”

Contrary to the opinion of Nicholson, Jones is content to dismiss his brief “Batman” career. Largely considered the film that began a slow, painful, camp-fueled death for the black-suited superhero (with “Batman and Robin” marking the final nail in that coffin), the “Forever” villains are often listed among the worst comic-book performances of all time.

Asked bluntly whether he would’ve liked to play Two-Face again, Tommy Lee Jones offered a stiff, one-word response: “No.”

“Aaron is a good actor,” said Jones, declining the opportunity to offer his “The Missing” co-star any advice. “He can take care of himself.”

“That make-up, however, is difficult,” he said, offering a rare grin.

Is TLJ being too hard on his Batman roots, or is it a good thing that he’ll never play Harvey Dent again? Does it shock you that he didn’t even know Two Face appears in “Dark Knight”? Is Eckhart simply a better choice to play the Gotham City District Attorney? Flip your coin, form your opinion, and weigh in below, Bat-fans!

I'm Glad Tommy is cool with Aaron taken the role of Harvey Dent / Two-Face .

 

[DoctorJones]

It was posted already, but yeah, Jones is the man.

 

[The Joker_1000]

Tommy Lee Jones is a great actor but Two-Face wasn't one of his best roles. Still a great actor though.

 

[Timstuff]

I blame the script of Batman Forever for Two-Face being bad more than TLJ. It seemed like Jones was having a lot of fun playing Two-Face, but the character was extremely shallow and one-dimensional, basically a Joker wannabe. I'm glad to see he's given his blessing on Eckhart playing the role though, unlike that sourpuss Jack Nicholson (which is yet another reason why Hammil's Joker was better).

i was thinking the other day about what Two-Face will wear i was thinking that a black pin strip suit with a white pinstripe shirt would be kool or the other way arounf would be kool too. what do you guys think

 

[Timstuff]

I think that if they wanted to go really subtle, he should wear a gray suit with a tie that's half white, half black. But if they want to go more comic book esque (like they did with Joker's clothes), it should be half black, half white.

 

[CaptainClown]

I only don't want the two tone suit for two-face because, where would he get it from. Can you honestly imagine Two-face holding a tailor hostage just to get a custom suit.

What do you think of the tagline I added to the poster?

 

[CaptainClown]

I don't particularly care for it sorry

 

[regwec]

The idea is sound, but it doesn't exactly mean anything. "Eye to eye, face to face" might work better.

Half Black half white FTW! Or as you said, something more subtle, like from The Long Halloween.

I don't need an explanation! But Harv probably won't wear a split suit because of the dark gritty realism either way

 

[The Joker_1000]

Two-Face should always wear a two colored suit.

Same here. TAS show how he somewhat has a temper & do some bad things despite being a DA. I hope they explore a little bit of that before he become Two-Face.

And count me in for wanting his suit to look somewhat like the TAS. It easy & simple. The one in Batman Forever was awful. They add too much color & it look too tacky on his left suit part. :

a quick mock up of what I'd like to see.
