The Dark Knight Harvey Dent/Two Face Thread

[Marden]

I really doubt he would have his face burned by fire. I thought this was about realism(Well, not everything was that way of course, but it wasn't over the top.) and fire would burn all of his hair and most of the suit in few moments to actually give the fire enough time to do some horrible scarring. I don't know how he gets his special suit, but I'd bet he gets acid in the face.

 

[mrsparkle]

Is it acid or gasoline?

In the trailer it looks like he's lying in a pool of gas that someones about to light which is why he's screaming "NO!" he doesn't look in pain just **** scared.

 

[Ecstasy]

I sincerely hope that his hair is somewhat messed up after the scarring.

 

[Morphius DOH]

Yup he has a clean hand.

I think it looks more blueish because of the light coming inward from the window. Oh well we can agree to disagree.

The color of the burn depends on how deep the burn damages skin, veins, muscles, and other scar tissue. So, it's very likely that the burnt half will have varying shades of black, blue, pink, and red. I imagine that the burns are going to be quite severe because if you look at him as he's yelling, his face is pressed against what looks like gasoline soaked wood. Can you imagine the added damage splintered wood can do his face on top of his flesh being burnt away.

Have you also noticed the color of his jacket on the side closest to the door? It's a lighter blue than the other side, and has the appearance of being frayed and tattered, just like it had been near or on fire as well.

ok speculation goes on ...ive red in another forum that they also think he gets pressed down on a table not on a floor ...he gets a bath ...could still be acid ;-) the scenes with the gasoline and harvey dont need to be connected ...but it still could be that he gets burned and it wouldnt disturb me if they did so ... is it me or is in this movie all about burning down something?

The phoenix [Gotham] rising from the ashes. Fire does seem to be a common theme, just look at the various posters; most of them have fire in one form or another.

So much do you guys want a bet The look of Two-Face is going to be simliar to Bermejo art ?

That one is far more realistic and better.

 

[doctorkenyon]

Not sure I like that tbh.

 

[Nepenthes]

If they truly have abandoned the sudden-acid-splash-in the-courtroom sequence then I can only hope that the guys holding Dents head to the floor are corrupt cops or maybe goons posing as cops. It's the only good way I can think of right now to preseve some of the symbolism of the courtroom scene

 

[mrsparkle]

This is what i'm seeing in the trailer.

I did suggest it could be a failed hit, like in TLH when they blew up his house. Bats shows up or something.

Best Two-Face art yet t:

It must be something like that, they wouldn't just scar him when they can just as easily kill him.

 

[CaptainClown]

Still the major flaw of that theory is evident in your art
"somehow Dent escapes the blaze with the side he was lying on burnt beyond recognition"
also I like the art

 

[cjblair]

also I like the art

Same here, it's a bit like the Jokerized trailer. Mister J would be proud.

Yeah I actually think it is most likely an early attempt to scare him, not the the disfigument scene itself. But if it IS, those guys better be cops is all I'm sayin

Dent is the guy who will not back down. It makes sense there would be several attempts to silence him, especially before resorting to something as desperate, excessive and cruel as throwing acid in a packed courtroom. it's stupid and outrageous, you dont just go from nothing to throwing acid at your prosecutor. Maroni only does it because he's knows he going down for Life I guess.

 

[regwec]

God, I hate Bermejo. He really is the artist 'teen' generation.

Exactly. In TLH Maroni

Spoiler

screams at Dent after he throws the acid in his face: DID YOU REALLY THINK YOU HAD ME?!"

 

[sarg2k]

Something I was hoping someone could clarify for me.

The tralier Dents hand is fine when he is holding the gun, but when those leaked toy images came out he clearly has a burnt hand as well.

I looked at the images again and I am pretty sure that he does not have a glove on his hand, but I maybe wrong.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

That one is far more realistic and better.

I disagree.

 

[I am a Guthrie]

in the al roker interview aaron eckhart says he gets burnt by acid

Toy design =/= actual design

 

[ShadowBoxing]

I realize for the first film they aren't going with the starkly contrasting suit (Black and White, Orange and Blue), which I think is fine since we're seeing the newly formed Two-Face. I hope though, as the films progress into the third installment that we finally see Two-Face emerge in his tradition costume. I think it would be a mistake not to. This movie shouldn't get so stooped in it's realism that it forgets that villains can be a little hokey.

soo...where would he get a suit like that from? The same tailor who makes the Jokers clothing?

The two-face suit is going to be two toned but not like you said, it will be tattered and ruffled on one side with burn marks and nice and neat on the other.
