I'm not sure I'm going to agree that Two-Face was a villian. Harvey didn't become Two-Face to cause chaos in Gotham, he became Two-Face to avenge Dawes and to rid Gotham of crime like Batman. But Harvey/Two-Face is willing to do whatever it takes, which seperates him from Batman. 2. Two-Face is probably not dead. If he were actually dead then the next Batman film would be a simple Good vs. Evil battle again. If Two-Face returns it could add some twists to the plotline, like say perhaps him finding out Batmans identity??? Thanks for reading!! If you did!! :) 1.

Film experiences are subjective, but not film itself. If a movie is good, it's good. If a movie is bad, it's bad. Period. Knowing the difference is a process, but the over all quality of a film cannot be "good" to one person and "bad" to another, because they're both watching the same thing. Besides, if film is subjective, how is it that people learn and get better at it? The creators of The Dark Knight knew what they were doing when they wrote Harvey Dent into the script. They casted Aaron Eckhart, and the director instructed him on what to do, because he had a vision, and knew how to make a good movie. That station critic was wrong. That's an objective truth.

If the movie would have stopped with Gordan calling him two-face or with the scene of him and the joker where he flips the coin, he would've had a whole nother film to really make dent/two-face shine seperate from the joker. Kinda a shame because he really made two-face believable and sympathetic... oh well I think he’s overlooked because, and this is my one problem with the movie, he’s killed off too quickly as two-face.

Those were exactly my sentiments about Aaron Eckhart playing Harvey Dent. The movie would've been DULL without his onscreen presence. Give me five!

Its his story. If anything The Joker is the side character. And dent died at the end. To bring him back would be lame. I would love it if he had been kept alive but he's dead and anything else would cheapen the tragedy of the film. The film is about dent. Its his story. If anything The Joker is the side character.
