The Dark Knight Two-Suits???

[jtfaria]

Seriously, I think we get a split suit when Harvey decides to embrace his new persona. Probably this happens in the third film. 'Dark Knight' just begins Two-Face's journey.

I think a lot of people on this board envy Nolan. I do too, but not because he is a big time Hollywood-accepted director. I envy his freedom in exploring all this rich material and making it grist for his mill. Harvey Dent is a very interesting character who has been featured in only the most cartoonlike way on TV and film so far. This will be the first time the world has seen such a full-featured view of him.

It's not as if any other well-known 'superhero' character (that I can think of, anyway) had a universe that could be explored without a major suspension of disbelief. Nolan is trying to keep that jump as short as possible. With Spiderman or Superman or X-Men, you have to decide to enter a realm of fantasy. Sure, men can fly and stick to walls and turn into ice. No problem. With Nolan, we're debating whether someone would actually wear an eccentric business suit.

The "reality" is: Celebs, gangstas and other folks have worn stranger things than a two-toned outfit in order to express/define themselves. Like:

Everytime I see the name of this thread I think of "Two Scoops" from the Raisen Bran commercials.

There's a whole bunch of red x's, is that what you want a red-x suit.

Looks like I'll have to repost those pictures, if they're not coming up. I'll get to it later. Anyway, we've all seen pics of guys in Zoot Suits, old-style gangsters with spats, new-style gangstas with bling, entertainers like Elton John, Liberace, and Hammer, and outrageous streetwear by people with some point to make. Outrageous dress is not out of step with "reality" for some people.

If I find a red-x suit, though, I'll post that too.

Of course, Harvey would demand four.

Do two scoops of raisins belong in every box of Raisin Bran?

Your damn right they do!

How come they don't put figs in Raisin Bran?

...oh, right...

 

[Argyle of Sock]

Bran is just gross no matter how many scoops of raisins you put in...

Two Face will be in this film, so technically, the person who made this thread can get away with it being here.

The half & half suit is ridiculous, take his a** to Men's Warehouse.

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.

I don't really care much for what the suit is like so long as they get the character down.

 

[Oryon]

No half and half. Unless one half is ruined by the acid.

I don't want it to look as though he went to a tailor and purposely had a half and half suit made.

 

[chitownballer]

I believe the idea was thrown around (but not confirmed) that at least in this film half of harveys suit that he wears will contain blood and it will be worn with acid holes from when he was intitially hit with the acid. That would work for the total of this film if he transforms late in the film. However in the 3rd I find it hard to believe that he wouldn't have changed clothing at some point in time. I would mind a two tone suit as long as it's not too extreme with an explanation from harvey something along the lines of how his two personalities have a different taste in clothing, but better written then just plain saying that obviously.

Going halfsies on a suit is a bad idea, the Zoot suit could work, very Chicago gangster, but no 1/2 this 1/2 that, unless Captain writes the dialogue

Zoot suits? Honestly, Zoot suits? There'd be a riot...

Wow, that would be really ugly. I'd like Two Face to be in lawyer-type suits. The suit shouldn't upstage his face, and anything extremely "gangster" would.

I don't think I want Two Face looking like The Mask. Split suit over zoot suit.

 

[CaptainClown]

If he gets a zoot suit I really want as an added bonus Aaron Eckhart dancing to zoot suit riot in full make up.. I would gladly pay 30 for that dvd

I dont want half suit, same style zoot suit througout, but no split suit.

What about a hat to complete the look? lol
