The Dark Knight Harvey Dent/Two Face Thread

[AnimeJune]

Wow. It looks like Eckhart's Dent will not only be different from Tommy Lee Jones' Dent but in fact the polar opossite! Excellent. And I've never cared much about Eckhart's looks but on the red carpet for the 300 premiere he looked really good.

Indeed - I have all respect for Tommy Lee Jones ("That's Doctor Richard Kimble"), and he certainly appeared to be having a grand old time in Batman Forever, but at his age I wouldn't be calling him that much of a looker. I mean, if I heard Tommy Lee Jones got splashed in the face with acid, I'd be like, "Hmm. Interesting - so when's Men in Black 3 coming out?"

Hahah!

 

[The Eagle]

I think he will be fantastic! Hopefully........

with a passion?

That two face is the best ever. The one from batman forever is worth hating with a passion.

You should probably try reading a comic book. Start with Year One, follow up wth The Long Halloween, then forget TAS ever attempted Two-Face.

When I watch TAS, in my mind I just imagne this guy is called Half-Scarred-Man, and he's only been partially inspired by Two-Face, though not much really.

what's so wrong with TAS Two-Face? it's been a while since i've seen it

He's friends with Bruce Wayne, not Batman, which is the opposite of the post-Crisis depiction. He is scarred in an industrial accident, not in the courtroom. But, more to the point, he has a split personality 'Big Bad Harv' which is present before the scarring, and flies in the face of most depictions of the character. Most people feel (especially in the wake of TLH) that's Harvey's psychosis is primarily caused by the unique pressures of working in Gotham, and not due to an inherent character flaw.

I disliked greatly though how Dent's mentality was hinted at and mostly the cause from his father who was also a mental patient. I also far preferred how he recieved the coin from Maroni, gives more of a motive to his actions. So all in all it's inevitable how someone won't prefer one specific interpretation of a character but rather a combination of a number of versions.

I liked Dini's Two Face a great deal: I accept that it was different to Loeb's, but I don't happen to think either is faultless.

 

[Dark Sentinel]

personally i'm more anxious to see Two-Face than Joker. he's always been my favorite Batman villain

Hey Ronny where have you been?

 

[Weadazoid]

I liked the 3rd split in TAS...the anti hero who was....THE JUDGE

 

[I Am The Knight]

Oh yeah, that was cool Weadazoid.....

 

[Weadazoid]

It showed just how far gone Harvey was it was a nice little evolution.

 

[iwalktheline92]

I couldn't picture Joaquin Phoenix as Harvey Dent. Its probably because I'm so used to seeing him as Johnny Cash.

 

[TimDrake64x]

i think he would have been good. but if anyone here has seem thank you for smoking you know that eckart can do it

 

[Keyser Sushi]

Is that the only movie you've ever seen him in?

And his performance as Cash shows why he'd be a great Harvey Dent. Not that it matters at this point, as the role has been cast...

 

[Hunter Rider]

I watched Thank you for smoking and The Black Dahlia this week and i am now confident in Eckhart as Dent.

Lolz, better late than never. Your timing is improving, compared to that of Casino Royale.

I hope that Harvey Dent in TDK will be protrayed very much like Dent in BTAS

Thats version of two face has to be one of my favourite versions ever. I loved that episode in Batman TAS, and bluey grey skin just looks better to me than the red pinkish skin. And i hope they make Eckhart look a little but like this in the third film after The Dark Knight. http://www.gothampublicworks.com/twoface.html

 

[Weadazoid]

I can only guess that we may see only brief moments of Dent as a potencial dark character, but no Two face not in this movie.

Eckheart is a fine choice lean and tall, with a face that could easily show twisted dementia

 

[Nepenthes]

yeah maybe Dent talking in the mirror in a seemingly casual, 'normal' kind of way or a few strange comments regarding criminals and law. the conversation in the Gannon sides, stuff like that. Personally I don't mind a little Big Bad Harv, i guess it depends on which version you prefer.

It's sad that there've been so many terrible interpretations of Two-Face, that "Big Bad Harv" manages to stand out as the best.

You really should pick up The Long Halloween. The TAS version was so oversimplified it was depressing. They took away all the psychological complexity that made Two-Face interesting. Pre-transformation Harvey was a joke, too. I'm glad we can see from these sides already that he has plenty of good scenes in which he's doing things a good, hard-working attourney should be doing, and not just going out to dinner with Bruce Wayne.

And it's great to see he's a supporter of Batman. The kind of Harvey that most people would assume IS Batman is the kind of Harvey I want to see. I can't wait to see Harvey up on the GCPD HQ rooftop with Gordon and Batman.

And seriously, you liked the blue scarring?
