How to destroy a blockbuster movie…read this (SPOILER!)

May 19th, 2008 | Category: Spoliers

Harvey Dent becomes Two Face halfway through the movie. To begin with, he is not Batman’s enemy but The Joker’s. The Joker causes Harvey Dent’s scars. Harvey Dent/Two Face uses all of his political power to try and destroy The Joker but in doing so, he starts to destroy Gotham City itself. Batman and The Joker actually ally temporarily to try and bring Two Face down, because to the Joker, he is a threat as he is to Gotham itself. Batman desperately tries to stop him because Dent/Two Face is essentially declaring Martial Law on Gotham City and oppressing innocent people in his effort to stop The Joker.

Batman has a serious struggle with himself trying to decide who is right and what he should do. Should Batman become a renegade vigilante as Two Face essentially becomes? Batman does finally decide to accept Jokers temporary alliance and they both try to kill Harvey Dent. Two Face sets explosives in numerous buildings hoping to blow up the building while the Joker is in it, regardless of the innocent people involved.

Two Face employs military and police forces to stop Joker by any means, while The Joker employs a small army of criminals to support him in his campaign against Two Face. The Joker ends up on the top floor of a building fighting Batman and Two Face as “ALL BETS ARE OFF” after The Joker tries to pull a fast one on Batman when his guard was seemingly down. Batman, after a lengthy struggle manages to subdue Two Face with his ascension gun.

The Joker is near a window of the building when Two Face suddenly manages to pull out a gun and in blind rage he shoots The Joker in the chest. The Joker then falls through the window in a homage to the first Batman movie. (Jack Nicholson)

The last we see of The Joker is him laughing wildly as he plummets to the Earth. Batman stops Two Face and ties him up thoroughly before he got another shot off at Batman. You don’t actually see The Joker die but it is presumed.

Also at the End Bruce Wayne is introduced to a Dick Grayson (ring any bells, Robin?) Who is a “young businessman who has swiftly moved up the ranks here at Wayne Enterprises”
