4. "Lie, Like I Lied"
Here, at 250 52nd Street, Dent is at his most villainous as he threatens to kill either Jim Gordon's wife or his children. "Tell your son it's going to be alright Gordon, lieĀlike I lied", says Dent, pointing a gun at James - his callousness matched only by the tragedy of his transformation. Gone is Dent's belief in justice, law and order, replaced instead with chance. "You thought we could be decent men in an indecent time. But you were wrong. The world is cruel, and the only morality in a cruel world is chance. (holds up his coin) Unbiased. Unprejudiced. Fair." Of course we know it all works out for Gordon and his family, if not for Dent, whose fall from grace ultimately ends with a fall to his death. Two Face has been portrayed terribly in film before, coming across as a goofy cartoon character rather than posing a genuine threat. Nolan, however, makes the character both malicious and believable by investing so much time building Dent up as Gotham's White Knight.
