The Dark Knight Trilogy: 18 Cool Behind-The-Scenes Details You Didn't Know
12. Harvey Dent Was In An Early Draft Of Batman Begins
Harvey Dent was first introduced in The Dark Knight, with Aaron Eckhart delivering a brilliant - yet criminally underrated - performance.
However, there's an alternate reality out there somewhere in which Dent made his debut in the first movie in the trilogy, rather than the second.
According to Nolan, he and Goyer talked about including Dent in Batman Begins, and in one of Goyer's early drafts of the script, the character of Finch - a Gotham City District Attorney, played by Larry Holden - was instead referred to as Harvey Dent.
Ultimately though, this idea was dropped, because the function that Finch served in the story didn't justify the use of a name as iconic as Harvey's.
