10 TV Shows With Plot Points That Go NOWHERE

10. Gotham - Harvey Dent, Not Two-face

Introducing an iconic villain who audiences are familiar with in their pre-evil stage was Gotham's bread and butter. The series inherently sought to bring the origin stories of Batman's rogues gallery to life, which is what made it so disappointing when Harvey Dent arrived on the scene, only to disappear off the face of the Earth - pun intended.

As soon as the assistant district attorney of Gotham City appeared in the show's first season, fans were eager to see his dramatic descent into becoming the villain Two-Face. They patiently waited for the time to come but never received it, as after being useless in helping Gordon get out of jail in season two, he was never mentioned again.

The showrunner - John Stephens - claimed that this decision was made because Harvey Dent didn't become Two-Face until after Batman arrived on the scene. However, Gotham was a show that took a lot of liberties with the Batman mythos, so this excuse rings rather hollow.

Whatever the reason, there's no denying that the introduction of this character was a pointless side venture that brought very little to the show.
