Batman: The Killing Joke Review - 5 Ups And 6 Downs

4. The Harvey Dent Cameo
Batman The Killing Joke Harvey Dent

A fleeting but enjoyable nod to a member of Batman's rogues gallery occurs when the Caped Crusader heads to Arkham Asylum to talk to The Joker. As he walks through the hallway full of cells, we cut briefly to a coin lying outside one of the cell doors, before we pan up to see Harvey Dent's hand clawing on the outside of the cell, desperately trying to pick up the coin like his life depends on it.

It's a fun, playful tip of the hat to one of Batman's most iconic foes, while not eating into anymore of the movie's brief run-time than it needs to.
