The Dark Knight Two-Suits???

[smatt584]

Batman's suit serves a very specific purpose. As did Scarecrow's mask. Harvey wearing a two sided suit is completely pointless.

Then so is the joker's make-up, as it is completely cosmetic. The joker could still act like the joker, but only smile a lot, except that appearances do matter, don't they?

 

[The Caped Knight]

In the Nolan’s Batman world do you expect to see Two-Face have the half and half suit?

Well Naturally

 

[Crook]

Wow! What a coincidence because I've never seen a man running down the street in a bat-suit, nor have I seen a clown with red lips murdering anyone.


Gee wiz, it would be way too unrealistic to have Two Face wearing a split suit because we've never seen it in real life.

Quoted for truth.

This realism sh1t is a damn plague to this franchise. You people are so overwhelmed by that crap.

 

[smatt584]

I just think people don't know what the word means...

 

[Gilpesh]

I think he would need two suits... but not the drastic differences like in Forever. That was just odd to be odd. The subtle different suits in TLH is the best way to go for the movie.

But I don't care as long as he has the scars and the coin.

 

[gwynplaine]

Are we even getting Two-Face in that one ? Other than a glimpse at the end of the movie ( a la Joker's calling card in BB).

probably not much more than an introduction. I don't think it would be smart to throw another full-fledged villain into the mix.

Agreed. The suit doesn't make the man. The scars and the coin do. He could be dressed as a hobo for all I care.

 

[MAKIEVELLI]

TLJones completely ruined the half suit thing for me. I'd maybe like the one side acid scarred suit idea.

 

[Gilpesh]

Agreed. The suit doesn't make the man. The scars and the coin do. He could be dressed as a hobo for all I care.

Hobo is out of the question. We don't want Arkham Asylum Two-Face. He needs a suit, period. Now whether it is half and half or the same color, that doesn't matter.

 

[ManofmyWord]

I doubt if we get anything more than having it trashed on one side, Dent being on the run-but only really taking care of half of the suit. Viola, half and half

If you insist, maybe the scarred suit idea then. But never again the Tommy Lee Jones version.

*shrug* I guess you've got a point. :P And I didn't say I wouldn't like to see a two-color suit if it was done well, I just think it's unlikely. As far as I know, it's not for practical use like the batsuit, nor is it extremely pivotal to the characterization like the Joker's whole clown appearance. (Besides further exhibiting TF's whole "split personality" thing, as well as his scarred face) With that being said, as I'm looking through this thread, something like what Robin91939 posted could definitely work.

 

[smatt584]

i think that for any of these characters to capture the feeling of the characters they were based off of, that they need to really personify them. Take the Joker, for instance. If you were to see him from behind, you could still tell he's the joker because of the purple suit and green hair. The same should stand for two-face. The suit is a huge part of the character's appearance. Almost every single picture of him is in the trademark suit. The guy should look like he's split down the middle, each half different from the other. It's an extremely iconic image. The suit is as prominantly displayed as his face. Every single time you see him, whether it's from behind or from the chest down, you should know you're looking at two-face, and the suit does that. You can change minor details, but the character should still cover the main points: (joker: green hair, white face, purple suit/two-face:scarred face, double coin, double suit) Those are the essentials that have been followed for decades and are the bare minimum for portraying the look of the characters.

 

[SpiderB]

Then so is the joker's make-up, as it is completely cosmetic.

No. The Joker is supposed to look like a clown. That's his defining characteristic. It's essential. Harvey's defining characteristic is his scarred face, not his two-toned suits. It's not important to his character in the least. It's just a stylistic choice used in the comics.

Not to mention, the Joker is theatrical. That's his gimmick. He can get away with wearing funny clothes, even in a realistic movie. Two-Face is not theatrical. Funny clothes would not work on him.

I suppose you probably want him to have the perfectly straight line down the middle of his face, too?

 

[Mr. Socko]

I agree. I want him to have the half suit but the more I think about it, the more I think it's unlikely. In Begins, Scarecrow wore nothing but the potato sack and a normal suit and Ra's only wore a normal suit too, he didn't have the green cape. To me, it comes across as Nolan is trying to make the villains as visually simplistic as possible but put more depth into the characterizations.

However, I'd still like to see a Long Halloween Two Face split suit.

 

[GoogleMe94]

Why? The only visual aspect of Harvey that is essential to the character is that half his face is acid burned. The two sided suits would look absolutely ridiculous in the realistic setting of these films.

no it wouldnt. i think it would fit in quite well. like someone said, if we can get a guy who looks like a bat and a guy wearing clown makeup, the 2 sided suit should look normal compared to the other wacko costumes. i agree, black/white suit is the way too go, although i really dont care as long as its nothing like leopard skin and all that (personally, i didnt mind that either).

 

[strikezone89]

He better.

I want to see him in atleast 2 half and half suits. One like in TAS, half black, half white. The other like in Long Halloween. One normal business half, the other pinstripe.

ditto

There's nothing that unrealistic with the suit, haven't you ever seen a pimp suit?

 

[smatt584]

you see, that's a small detail. I wasn't comparing it to the shade of the joker's hair color, but his general appearance, which the double-sided suit is a critical part of. Go ahead and name three things that make two-face look like a unique character and try to not mention the double suit. if it were as easy to define the characters with a single attribute, they wouldn't be unique, would they? It's more than a painted face that makes the Joker look specifically like the Joker, isn't it? Two-face is supposed to look like he's two different people, not a duel-head on a single body. And his portrayal is very theatrical, i don't understand how you can logically say that the character isn't the way it has always been. I mean, say it out loud: "The way the character has always been portrayed is not how the character is portrayed".

 

[Dvhyzs]

I he does I would expect it to be black one side ,pinstriped on the other. Although I wouldn'nt expect him to have one in TDK yet.

 

[Oryon]

As long as at least some part of his face is scarred, I couldn't care less about the suit or the coin.

 

[smatt584]

i just like to argue

 

[Joker]

if the suit is just two suits cut in half and sewn together, it would work just fine...a custom tailored thing would be ridiculous though.

 

[Mr. Socko]

Yeah, it'd have an abrasive feel to it if it looks cut and thrown together.
