Though it was perhaps naive to expect total consistency between the Tim Burton and Schumacher movies, it was undeniably disappointing that Billy Dee Williams wasn't retained to play Two-Face, considering that his Harvey Dent was very clearly established in 1989's Batman. The original plan for Batman Returns was to have Dent appear and get transformed into Two-Face, setting up a third movie where he would be the main villain, but of course, this didn't happen, and when Burton bailed from Batman Forever, Schumacher instead opted to cast Tommy Lee Jones as Dent. Perhaps the glaring change of actor and race might not have been quite so jarring had Jones not dialled up the camp to near-unimaginable levels and managed to make a mugging Jim Carrey seem positively tame by comparison.
