ATTICAAAAAaaaaAAAA!!!

You seem to forget that the ‘short distance’ that Dent/Two-Face fell was also compounded with HALF OF HIS BODY BEING BURNED AWAY. After suffering that trauma and then falling – it would kill him.

Dent’s dead.
The director said Dent’s dead.
The script said Dent’s dead.
The actor who played Dent said Dent’s dead.
The novelization said Dent’s dead.

Dent’s dead. Face it.

THE JOKER WAS SUPOSSED TO BE THE COME BACK VILLIAN, BUT THAT MIGHT BE A BIT TRICKY WITH HEATH GONE, BUT I GUESS YOU COULD RECAST. SEVERAL ACTORS HAVE PLAYED ICONIC ROLES LIKE BOND AND SUCH WITH OUT MUCH TROUBLE TRANSITIONING ONE ACTOR TO THE OTHER.

The statment from the director sounds like a

“lets not reveal any plot to the next movie and have it leak onto the net” kind of thing.

Killing off one of the main villans would be a REALLY dumb idea, and the Director is really not dumb.

Indecks is right Dent is dead. BUT Two-face isn’t. I have also remained stubborn in the fact that the character, or at least half of him, is still alive. Two-face is one of the cannon villains in the Batman stories, and as such he can’t be killed. At least not like this. I like to believe that when everyone was saying he was dead they meant the Harvey Dent character. I can accept that, i mean his funeral was in the movie for petes sake. However i will keep believing that two-face is still out causing ruckus and robbing banks. Anyone with me?

Excuse me what the fuck? What the fuck are you talking about? Dent is dead (thx richie) but Two-Face could still be alive. Do you think Nolan’s decision is final? No. Directors change their minds CONSTANTLY until the final script has been set, and the final actors have been casted. Ambiguous is what Two-Face’s fall is. No one knows, who could they? Plans have always been changed in Hollywood, and characters whom you thought for sure were dead come back in the sequel and surprised us in a good way. There are much more extreme examples of character resurrection than this, so don’t put a stamp on it just yet. Wait three more fuckin years before making assumptions, ‘indeck’ and ‘flint’. Batman 3 will make this question settled, and the decision final, not what you hear from one little interview.

I’m sure he is dead and that It was the intentions of the filmmakers. I myself believes he is dead. BUT as a screenwriter and film student, I see that they did it in a way where it left it open for a Two-Face reprisal. That’s exactly how I’ll would have written it. Hear me out.

1. The fall wasn’t that extreme for him to die. Lets say it did. If everything in this movie was based on realism, then the burns he sustained would have resulted in his death. They are way beyond 3rd degree. My sister is in the medical field and even she confirmed this. He wouldn’t have survived too long after the incident. For all we know he fell, and landed in a freakin coma.

2. Most of the movie displayed Harvey Dent, not Two-Face. In a way the movie shows the origin of Two-Face. He’s not the villain yet.

3. Listen to the conversation between Gordan and Batman at the end. They mention the Joker won–referring to Harveys prosecution and all that he stood for had perished. Everything that was done dies with Harveys reputation.

Harvey Dent was probably admitted to Arkham Asylum or Blackgate Penitentiary since Arkham was destroyed, somewhat. Blackgate is a prison depicted in the DC Universe located on a small island in the Gotham Bay, which houses those criminals who aren’t insane. Two-Face in the comics has been to both. Given Harveys situation I’m sure he would be considered insane or mentally unstable. In fact the true description of this character in the comic is: District Attorney of Gotham City and an ally of Batman who goes insane and becomes the crime boss Two-Face. Anyways in the Dark Knight I’m sure not too many people knew about Harveys disfigured face. And to Harvey, he is dead, theres only Two-face now.
