So basically it will be a mindless action flick where the mob fights the cops and lawyers because of TwoFace. Well i never thought they needed him to fight each other! I also dont see how people would be interested in another origin story of his. I think that TDK established what his problems were and why he turned. I never got any implications about his father nor did i even need them.
For some reason you are just fixated on Two-face and his father issues, not understanding that Nolan's Dent had a more complex psychology than "baw my father beat me up". Also, what you are asking would be the equivalent of another Ras movie to further explore his origin (wife and all) and the lazarus pits or lack thereof. You just want a movie about Dent's father and two-face in general.
Where, in any of my posts, did I say that I wanted a mindless action flick that features Two-Face.
Where, in any of my posts, did I say that I only wanted a movie focused solely on the relationship between Two-Face and his father?
You're drawing conclusions from what I say that are unfounded.
To begin with, it would not in any way be a mindless action flick. As I said, Two-Face would view not only the individuals to blame for his predicament, but all of Gotham. And he would go about tearing Gotham apart using his own influences on both side of the law.
No, I do not want the mob and the law fighting each other, what I would have them do is enter an all out
WAR. Two Face pushes both sides past extremes. I'm not talking judges ordering swat teams to apprehend known mob hangouts, I'm saying Two-Face begins forcing Judges and Lawyers to enact warrants that escalates everything. Shoot on sight orders for anyone affiliated with the mob, forcing through search warrants for buildings and areas with no evidence, and then making sure the mob is there to ensure a bloodbath.
And the reason he's doing this, as I said, is because he's obsessed with duality. He wants to tear apart Gotham from both sides, the dark and light.
Besides all this, as I've already stated, Two-Face would use his power to start smearing Gordon, trying to dirty his name (you could also add the subplot of Gordon and Essen from Y1, and have Two-Face dirty Gordon's name that way) While at the same time forcing the law to enact extreme measures to capture Batman.
In addition to this, you could also throw in another villain, like the Riddler or the Penguin. This was just my idea for Two-Face, not for everything in the movie.
And where the heck do you get the idea that I think Two-Face is a guy who is motivated solely by his father. I HAVE NEVER SAID THAT. You fail to recognize that there is more to Two-Face's psychology then his grief at Rachel and rage that the Justice system failed him. Nolan's Two-Face is all about revenge, and as I've said, the character is deeper then that.
The issues with his father are very complex. His father would tell him he would beat him if he flipped heads on his lucky coin. Obviously it always landed heads. This planted the seeds for Dent's eventual obsession with duality and chance. Two very important parts of him. But I'm not saying, NOR HAVE I EVER SAID, that this is the only part to him. It's only a part of what makes him interesting.
And you're missing the fact that I only said I'd mention the father in a subplot. Bats would discover Dent's past while researching him. It was only an added detail I threw in there!
You've completely missed all the points I've made about Two-Face's character. There are many deep and interesting things you could do with the character that I felt Nolan has done. The entire Mob situation I proposed all has symbolic meaning to the character. It's the tearing apart of Gotham at it's two dual halves. The dark side (the mob) and the light (the law). Two-Face gains control and corrupts both of these sides and uses them to destroy Gotham. Thus gaining his revenge on Gotham for what it did to him, and turning it into a mirror image of himself. Two contrasting sides battling for control.
See, Two-Face is a reflection of all humans. We all have our dark sides and our good sides, but because of the trauma he experienced, his two sides have been forced into extremes that normal humans don't show. He has gone as far to actually separate the two sides of him into separate personalities, whereas we as normal people try to hide our dark sides, and not only that, but we blur the lines between each side. We don't limit ourselves to being only good, or only bad. We act in-between.
Gotham would start out like a normal person, the good side and bad side coexisting in one entity. Two-Face, by pitting the two sides of the city into a confrontation more extreme then ever before, would force the city into the same polarized state he is in.
I respect your opinion. I on the other hand had my share of Two-face and i am ready for something else. Hell, even a reappearence of Ras (unlikely) or Talia. But what i want most of all is a movie that focuses on Batman and his character development. You see, what Nolan has done in both films is assign the villain a certain role. Example: Ras = Kill or not kill for justice?
Scarecrow: Fear
Joker: Chaos and how we respond to that as a society
I'd like the next villain to trigger something else and open new roads of exploring Gotham and batman's development as a character. If i wanted a movie about Dent or his father, i would have asked for Burton (hehe).
As I said above, I'm not saying Two-Face would be the only villain in the film. But I think I've demonstrated above that he would do very well to explore a new theme in a Batman movie: Duality.
Not only could we examine Two-Face attacking Gotham through duality, we could start examining the duality of Batman, and examine the issues Bruce has to deal with more in depth. Such as the questions: who is the real person? Bruce or Batman? Which is the act? And does it have to be either one, or is it somewhere in between.
Duality is great theme of Two-Face, and one that could have been explored in depth with Batman as well.
