12 Biggest Missed Opportunities In Comic Book Movie History
3. Killing Off Harvey Dent/Two Face
Considering the entry concerning killing off Jack Nicholsons Joker this similar entry on one of The Dark Knights villains could be suitably categorised as ironic, given that the character Chris Nolan chose to kill off at the end of Dark Knight Rises would have acted as the perfect replacement for the narrative alterations brought about by Heath Ledgers untimely death. Although Dent was a strong presence throughout The Dark Knight it wouldve been interesting to see him enjoy something of a career in crime before putting him out of his dualistic misery. In narrative terms Dents death works, his arc comes to a fitting close allowing for the story to move on in the next entry, but having the characters true descent mirror that of Batmans in the final entry - even as part of the League of Shadows plotline - wouldve given the character screentime befitting his status as one of Batmans top tier villains, and wouldve helped fill the Ledger shaped hole to boot.
As well as the odd article, I apply my "special mind" to scriptwriting for Comics, Films and Games... Oh and I cut down trees, I skip and jump, I like to press wild flow'rs, I put on women's clothing, and hang around in bars.
