The Dark Knight Two-Suits???

[Jakk]

You're telling me a man with a permanent waistcoat doesn't believe that clothes make the man?

I wouldn't be so sure..... With some of the talk these days, all signs are pointing to a removable waistcoat....

I mean, really! The waistcoat is half on Nolan! It'd be ruining the man completely, completely UNFAITHFUL to life..... All for the sake of fake "realism". CHRIS NOLAN ISN'T CHRIS NOLAN WITHOUT PERMAWAISTCOAT!!!


Sorry, couldn't resist.

Anyways... Really liking the GPW look. Subtle but noticeable. Oh, for breyfogle... look closely. It's 2 toned in the suit, Dark Grey and Black, not just the tie.


.......And while non- comparable to what we're getting, that's some damn good makeup for a fan project.

HAHAHA!!! Someone else who noticed the permenant waistcoat!!

Maybe for filming of 3 Nolan can get a 2 coloured waistcoat.

 

[He-Man]

This one is very subtle

I'm not for the half and half suit but I can see this one working if he wears the half and half. Nothing flamboyant or over the top.

 

[Ecstasy]

A two-colored tie seems good.

 

[Saves The Day]

I can almost guarantee he wont have half and half suits in the movie

 

[Saves The Day]

Two colored tie maybe...but I would never see Nolan putting Two face in a two tone suit

 

[Mr. Socko]

Two colored tie maybe...but I would never see Nolan putting Two face in a two tone suit

I know, it won't fit with Nolan's dark, gritty realism.

 

[Pythenis]

A bit gory but what about half of his suit being stained a rust/red color from the blood that poured down half of his face when he was splashed with acid?

I doubt Two Face ran to the drug store and picked up some Zout so he could "Zout it out!", also it could be the reason he always wears the same suit, it connects him to the time he became Two face? Just a thought...

 

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Nah, not bothered about the Half and half suit. I don't think Nolan's realism will allow for it. But you never know.

 

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

This one is very subtle

I'll take that!

 

[Tournée d'adieu]

This one is very subtle

Is it just me or does the suit/shirt/tie combo totally not match (and I mean on its respective side). Especially on the left, the white tie on white shirt with a dark gray suit...it's not working for me.

I think Harvey Dent would have a little more sense than that.

Otherwise, I think the subtle angle is interesting and def. more viable than the suit in Forever. But at least there the Dent side seemed well coordinated.

 

[Valorman]

well, i think lots of things could work if they have a purpose, right?

Batman wears a bat suit to inspire fear in the criminals he pursues each night.

The Joker wears flamboyant clothing because...he's entirely insane really.

what if, instead of having the suit be burned or needing to make a split decision on the suits, harvey, waking up in a hospital bed, attempts to put on his suit, but can't,because on the side the acid hit him the suit's too burned for the suit to be worn (shoulder doesint hold together, colars gone, maybe the entire left side is just rags, eaten away by the acid. Something like that). So, harvey, being of two minds, winds up tearing a suit jacket of a differint colour and sewing it *or any other method* together before he runs out to pursue anyone else. i think having a nice, tailored suit, that has burns and scars on it, that becomes torn down the middle and replaced on one side with another suit could work in the uber gritty supreme realisim of the nolan empire people desperate cling to as an excuse for everything.

 

[mcflytrap]

Yes, he's always worn split suits but Nolan couldn't possibly add one of the character's coolest visual traits to his films because it's not realistic enough, right?

Do you know anybody with multiple personality disorder? Do they wear split clothes?

 

[DeaDheaD]

Split suits should not and hopefully will be in TDK or the third one

 

[Thot]

A half and half suit would be just a tad too cartoony for Nolan's Bat-Universe.
There may be a way to pull it off, but I fear it might incite a groan or two from the audience.

 

[ChrisB]

When hasnt Two-Face had a split suit?

We should get a clue from Joker's attire, how far Nolan is willing to go with Two-Face. Joker DOES have those cool socks, at least, and we have heard reports of him dressed in purple. What I have seen looks a bit muted, but maybe he jazzes it up from time to time.

"Realism." To me that means Nolan wants a rationale for everything. Don't forget - Batman still wears a costume! And an impractical cape, which Nolan justified as best he could by giving it certain capabilities (which may be expanding in this flick). I don't know that he can't find a justification for a special Two-Face wardrobe. Harvey is going to have to make the psychological leap from Mr. Handsome and Mr. Respectable to Mr. Freak and Mr. Outcast. (And this is for reasons beyond the thrown acid - a lot of his behind-the-scenes manipulation for power become exposed, according to what is known/speculated so far.) It may be that, as he embraces the radical ways in which his life has changed, he decides to go all out and call in the tailor. If he's going to be a freak, he'll be a glamorous one. It's all about satisfying the same ego cravings he had in his 'respectable' life.

I think Nolan's going to have a ball getting inside Two-Face's head(s). And I still think the first time we really see his scarred face is in the film's last scene, in that bar, and that the film's last word is "half". ('Stay tuned for the next episode... same Bat-time, same Bat-channel...' well, probably not, but still a cliffhanger.)

The two-suit/split-suit idea is kinda dumb I think. that would mean Two-Face would have to have the suit specially made for him and he would have to buy several of them (cause they would have to go to the cleaners). And that just doesn't make sense. That means a SUPERVILLAIN would have to call up some suit-making place and specifically request a suit like this. The employee talking to Two-Face would know he's making a suit for Two-Face. And what about the dry cleaners? The people who work at the cleaners would know they are cleaning Two-Face's suit.....

"Oh look, here comes Two-Face with his white/black split suit again. I guess he needs a good cleaning. And let me not call the cops while I'm cleaning his suit. The costumer is always right!"

 

[Tournée d'adieu]

The costumer is always right!

Ha.

Agreed. Nolan will never go for it.

Men's warehouse.
Two-face : I want a suit half silk and the other half *flips coin* polyester...
Clerk: top half?
Two-face:Wait let me check *flips coin* the right side polyester. I want the carpet to match the curtains (points to face)
Clerk: umm ok... what color?
Two-face: *flips coin* green..
Clerk: sorry some lanky guy came in and took our only green suit and bowler hat.

Yes, well-thought-out.

You're going to like the way you look.

Both of you.

There are always vendors and enablers who will serve the 'criminal industry' for good wages and know enough to keep their mouths shut. I live in Jersey and know of where I speak. They have accountants keeping two sets of books who know what side of their bread the butter is on, and public officials well-trained in the art of looking the other way. Dry cleaning is the least of the mob's problems.

In a town this bent, who is there to rat to, anyway?
