Finally, A Criminal We Can All Believe In

First off big thanks to all who read my previous editorial I put a lot of work into it and thank you so much for the feedback. Now if you have not read my previous editorial please read it to fully understand this editorial. For everyone else who have read it lets get down to business!!

1. Not every good villain makes good sense: Now ill be the first to say that batman has a lot of great villains (dead shot, black mask, hush) but come on how do they fit in the story we already have, the only way to introduce them is to alter the story we already have. I can see dead shot tracking down the bat but how long would that movie be 30-45 mins? maybe a animated film or for the reboot but that is just too much of a stretch for the story that is being told, but dent is different, he is already in the story and with the loss of the woman he loved most its easy to see him taking down the ones that are responsible (corrupt police department and batman) in his mind he would be correcting mistakes made by his former allies. Also dent is known in the comics as a crime boss, and every villain so far has been introduced by another character. For example it all started with bruce he wanted to understand the mind of a criminal and the only one who could help him is a man who has sworn his life against crime ras al gohul, then ras talks to bruce about overcoming fear enter scare crow, next gordon show batman a joker card in the final scene of batman begins, and finally the joker passes on his chaos theory which creates two face as the new killer in town.

2. Its been done: Now one big problem to my argument is simple HE IS DEAD!!!! but then i took another look at TDK and i realized that he wouldn't be the first one to pull off his own resurrection, first it started with the joker playing dead to get close enough to gamble to kill him, then gordon offing himself to protect his family and if you look at it that way you could see that it wouldn't take that much imagination to see dent survive (besides he made it out of a car crash that killed two people with out so much as a scratch)

3. Vengeance shall be mine: Never mind that he is a stone cold killer, never mind that he is a natural born leader and is a very driven character, the man is pissed off. Two face feels betrayed by two man that he felt he could trust and he was out for blood in TDK, and if nolan does bring him back we will get a two face that is dangerous not just because he is a killer, but because he believes what he is doing is right, with half of his face blown off he is now the symbol for the way gotham truly is, half believes in good and justice, and half believe in selfishness and greed. Two face wants to not only kill batman but re-shape gotham has he now sees it and no other villain is as motivated as him.

4. Follow the leader: When looking at gotham as a whole its easy to see how gotham citizens and gotham criminals are each others parallels, they both are without direction and a leader. Harvey dent was a man for the people and put his life on the line to protect them, now that he has a new persona as two face he could be just the villain gotham thugs need to rally behind, imagine how united the cooks would be when there former enemy joins them in a plan to take over the city, also he is a criminal that batman would be conflicted to fight because batman feels so responsible for allowing the joker to kill harvey's reputation and gotham's one ray of hope

5. The truth will set you free: Now i am a firm believer of finishing what you started and the best finish to this story is for gotham to know the real truth about batman and harvey. True batman will have to be hated and victimized for much of the movie, but true fans of batman want to see gotham accept batman to some degree, and what better way than to find out that harvey dent is the real killer and threat to gotham, gordon even told his son that batman is the hero gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now, that can only mean that there is a day coming when batman will be trusted to clean up gotham, this would allow things to reset it self making the way for more stories with either batman or robin without conflict from the citizens in gotham.

The fact is that two face is one of the more interesting villains in comic book history, because he is motivated by his feeling of betrayal, not money or power, but he feels that he was wronged by the people he trusted, the ones who he believed to be peace keepers were the ones that did him in. He lives in a world of constant duality were right and wrong is judged by a two sided coin, his distrust for humanity forces him to believe in chance as the only true form of justice, he doesn't hide behind the vial of good or evil he is the symbol for both and to simply kill a character that tortured is irresponsible, he is a demon that will hunt not just batman but gordon as well, we need him back so that he can finish his journey through light and darkness.
