The Dark Knight Two-Faces origin

[TromaFreak64]

well just cause the scene number play out that way doesn't mean the scenes run that length... it will certainly be more than half way - action scenes which exist more heavily at the latter half of the film always run more quickly than non action scenes....

But yes it occurs earlier on in the film that people expect, but Dent does appear to be the major arc of the film...

 

[ashminator]

but he may be in hospital and disearpear for a time afterwards, woulda prefered to have him scarred nearer the end though

heres one for ya what if somone was aiming at maroni but he ducks or summut and dent gets the lot on his chops

 

[TheBatman072]

Courtroom Acid thrown by Maroni or Joker.


That's the only way to do it.

 

[Lead_Tester]

Joker should scar him in the very end of the movie, letting out his evil side once and for all. Joker is on trial and throws acid on the side of his face.

Why introduce Maroni then?

 

[Magenta666]

i really dont want joker to be a part of two-faces creation...he "created batman" in 89 and i didnt like that...

 

[the_Horror]

Yeah Im pretty sure that Eric Roberts pretty much confirmed in an interview that his character would cause the damage to dent turning him into 2face--- I think it was from Empire maybe? Can anyone pull up that interview?

Dude, I wrote that almost 2 years ago, I don't even remember typing that lol

We have information that points to other ways than from what was originally known back in early '06.

just 1 question? why the courtroom, I would like something along the lines of btas. Dent, running along for a criminal; but fails and we have an explosion. Either way is cool as long as we don't get anything 4m bf. I blame schumacher

Didn't Dent from BTAS get scarred on his face because of some chemicals? All I remember is an explosion.

And I don't think they'd do it like that in TDK; it'll definitely be the courtroom acid.

They had to change Harvey Dent's transformation into Two-Face for the animated series, cuz the comic book origin was a bit too gruesome for kids. In BTAS Harvey is trying to recover his psych evaluation (dealing with his other personality Bid Bad Harv) from Rupert Thorne, who's blackmailing him with it. Harvey ends up chasing Thorne through a chemical plant (chemical plants seem overused a lot). As one of Thorne's goons tries to shoot down Dent with a tommy gun, a bullet hits a stray wire, knocking it into a chemical vat right next to where Dent is standing. The ensuing explosion screws up Dent's face royally, and causes his mind to snap. Big Bad Harv then takes over, becoming Two-Face.

While this origin is one of the most well-thought-out reorganizations of an origin I've ever heard of, it just doesn't beat the drama and storytelling of the comic book origin, that of the courtroom scene and the acid bottle. The fact that they decided to have Maroni in this film pretty much solidifies the idea that they're going with the courtroom scene and the acid bottle from Maroni. It's gonna be ****in sweet.

 

[Laderlappen]

The courtroom scene is a classic! They have to use it.

 

[Secret_Riddle]

According to the sides..isn't it someone testifying in Maroni's favour?

 

[DrawingBlanks]

I had an idea that's closer to the comics, but the Joker is still involved.

Bats thinks Joker is dead, after having fallen (off of something, haven't worked that part out yet) during their climactic battle. Gordon has managed to bring Maroni (or whatever Crime Boss) in, and Dent will be prosecuting. During some sort of psychiatric session (or something along those lines) one Dr. Harleen Quinzell would inform Maroni he had a visitor: Joker. Joker would supply Maroni with the acid, and the rest would go as the comics go.

It's just an outline of what could happen, but I like it

I would like that a lot. Too bad Nolan debunked the HQ rumor though...

I'd still prefer the courtroom scene.....even batman forever stuck to that as an "origin" for two-face, however sh***y that origin was...i never did like BTAS's two-face origin.

O.K maybe i'm late here, but that is sssooooooo Batman Forever. Plus how the hell would Joker get acid into the court room anyhow? This was the same nonsense that had me confused in BF.

 

[Drummerdude7]

well, the nonsense was that harvey protected the other half of his face.......with a manila folder......


.......very durable, those folders are....

 

[Golgo-13]

I meant the nonsense of someone getting acid into a court room...

 

[Drummerdude7]

i know, i was just kidding around....i have a tendency to shamelessly point out flaws in batman forever

but either way, you have a point....it'll be interesting to see how acid is going to be smuggled into the courtroom....the perpetrator will probably have a few corrupt cops escort him or something.

Ask David Goyer, he said it himself back in 05! That was in his original draft, that's where I got that from. Was thinking of nothing else. But you're right, the script has changed a lot since Goyer's rough draft, Joker won't be scarring Dent. People stop quoting me from 2 years ago regarding something Goyer said was in his original outline, especially when I don't even recall typing it!

As for how Joker gets acid into the courtroom...idk, same way Maroni and his thugs got it in the countroom in the comics?

 

[The Geek Vault]

I know this isn't anything like the comic. But I think the Joker should cut up Dents face with a razor!

 

[Punk&ComicBooks]

If the joker were to cut someones face up it would just be into a smile

I agree, BTAS's version was too close to the Joker's chemical bath for me.

Roberts said in an interview that he's the one that throws the acid in Harvey's face.

I'm just interested to see how much of the mobs actually play a part in this film. The mob element is the one thing I really enjoyed about TLH and Dark Victory.

 

[escobar2248]

"Let's put a SMILE on that FACE!"

 

[Nightmare]

I think acid should be thrown on two face. Then thats the way he becomes deformed. maybe if joker shoved his head in a container but only halfways.

Are you joking or serious?
