3. Harvey Dent
It is very hard for evil to take hold of the unconsenting soul. Ursula K. Le Guin Harvey Dent, the white knight. The hope of Gotham. The incorruptible, the shining light to contrast the darkness of Batman. And so easily brought down by a maniac with a few barrels of gasoline and a timer. The Joker did what all thought impossible, and worse, he did it as an afterthought. Harvey Dent wasnt the target of some massive psychological crusade by the Joker. Harvey just happened to live long enough to realize what Gotham City truly was. And like the Joker, decided to become its reflection. The Joker is a corrupting force. Not only by design, but by his existence. He lets the intelligent good people realize what truly happens to goodness in this city. The Joker is the city; death, destruction with just a thin veneer of humor
