The Dark Knight Harvey Dent/Two Face Thread

[DarqJakob]

My problem with Two-Face just being some burnt, or scarred,or deformed guy, is that millions of people live with that sort of thing without becoming some sort of psycopathic crime boss. For it to make sense in my mind, it has to be something singularly unique beyond the repair of plastic surgery. Even if a person was horribly scarred beyond repair, most people would be understanding and he probably wouldn't stand out that much in a crowd. I feel the accident has to create an appearence that makes it impossible for him to dwell amoung normal people without being noticed. Two-Face is a super-villian not a crazy guy with some scarring and multi-phasic personality disorder. I'm all for realism, I don't want Batman Forever or anything, I just think having a strange skin color on that side is more important then ugly scars.

Check back a few pages. If you want to read more on Two-Face's character - and the role scarring plays in that - you'll find some of the discussion myself, StorminNorman and others had very interesting.

Hint - page 56 would be a good place to start...

Oh, and welcome to The Hype!

It'll be interesting to see how Nolan and co interpret Two Face given the Joker's mutilation

 

[Keyser Soze]

Well, if Two-Face is supposed to be the "disfigured" villain, next to The Joker, he's gonna have to be REALLY funked up!

That's what's intriguing me

Well, they dare to change the logo and the sport look of the batmobile. Now we see a Joker with trembling Lipstick. What can we expect for the Good ol' Harvey?

[DangerousInc.]

Wonder if we'll see 2 Face under Scarecrows Fear Gas. Would be awesome!

 

[strikezone89]

any good manips?

 

[Cobblepot]

Look around, plenty of 'em.

 

[ghost_x]

You call that funked up, THIS is funked up, meet Tarman

[Jinnobi]

Freaky, but I hope and pray that Harvey doesn't look like that.

 

[Borat]

LMFAO!

 

[mereel]

That's the most comic teeth I've ever seen

 

[Rezzo]

This look would definitely work really well in the next movie

Pffft... yeah, if Liev Schreiber were playing Harv. I wish.

But seriously, Eckhart's gonna pwn... FTW!

 

[Nepenthes]

Half Eckhart, Half Van Damme

Damn scary.

 

[ghost_x]

Why the funk would Van Damme be Dent's alter ego

 

[Nepenthes]

dunno. Just thought it would be amusing if someone got scarred and turned into van damme

 

[ghost_x]

I can dig it

 

[Schlosser85]

In the casting side with the Mayor, he and the radio guy discuss "Randolph" and the Mayor says Randolph is not dead, and is looking forward to get back on the job, which many people take to mean Randolph=Dent. If that scene goes on, as many suspect, to feature The Joker coming on the air, then that would seem that it's not the end of the movie, meaning, if Randolph is Dent, and has already been scarred, does that mean Dent could be scarred before the end of TDK?

 

[ghost_x]

Dent could very well be scarred long before the credits roll, but it doesn't necessarily imply that we would actually see Two Face before the third movie. It just might not be the cliffhanger ending many are hoping for.

 

[mereel]

It'll be great to see Two-Face in this movie, but I prefer they focus more on the Joker for this one and leave him for the third. Have many villians in one movie could be disastrous like spiderman 3.

Nolan showed in BB he can juggle villains (Ras, Scarecrow, Falcone, Zsasz), so I wouldn't worry too much. As long as he doesn't lumber them with extensive backstory and origins, we're alright.

Ideally, Harvey Dent will get his backstory throughout "The Dark Knight", but won't become Two-Face until part 3.
