Harvey Dent Did NOT Die in The Dark Knight

wrong

he aint dead he still alive they didnt have a body hes probably in arkum

Well i gotta believe he aint dead ever since watching TDK when it came out!

After all he's too good a villain to just kill off straight away! ; )

Still it dont makes sense why BATS is on the run if he is alive!

if he comes back or is shown in arkum ya r all wrong

he'll come back cause no more joker. And if another actor plays joker i ain't gonna see this movie!

Absolute rubbish. He's dead.

By severely injured I mean like permanently injured, like paralyzed.

People survive car crashes all the time, and Dent had his seatbelt on :)

And Eckhart said his character was dead as a doornail after he said he might come back.

ya i mean im not mad if he is dead cause like you said della there are a lot of other cool villians out there i really wanna see like bane or deathstroke, someone like that hired to take bats out for his crimes but i mean ive seen worse things in real life than fallin like 40 feet down but he probably is dead so i say bring in bane and end this trilogy right

Hes dead. Nolan said he was dead. HES DEAD!

The fact that we are all debating it shows that he's more likely to be alive than dead. i know it looks like he's not breathing but that doesn't mean anything, a bit of CPR and he's back on his feet. I agree with Superdog, there are two sides to the coin, a good and bad, good and evil, one dies and the other lives, Harvey Dent is dead and Two-Face is alive.

dead as a bug on a wind shield.

I don't think anyone has the authority or facts to state either way. His death or 'death' was sort of open ended. We get a wide and brief view of his body lying on his back. If indeed there is a part where you see his coin laying clean-side-up, I would say LBB's argument has merit. I haven't seen TDK in a few months, maybe it's time to bust it back out. I have had an itch about his death myself, I remember his manner of death was the only thing I really had any issue with when I first saw the movie, I saw it as the only blemish really. I think it is incredibly likely that Gordon would lock him up in the deepest parts of Arkum if he'd survived, and he'd do so for many reasons. I also think this would be characteristic of him in a way with my knowledge of the character.

I agree with Scotteeo. I appreciate that Nolan wants to keep his movies realistic, but they should still be staying true to the graphic novels as well. Two-Face is a major villain who deserves more movie time than just the end of one movie.

I do believe that Nolan had completely intended for Two-Face to be dead, but this was when he assumed the Joker would be back for the next movie. Now without the Joker, if he wanted to I think it would be plenty believable to bring Two-Face back for the next movie. Just say that the funeral was to help keep Dent's positive image with the public (and as mentioned above, good Harvey Dent is in fact dead), have him escape from Arkham, and then he's back as Two-Face. Seems simple to me.

Also, I love Nolan's directing of course, but what does he have against so many of the major characters in the books? According to most rumors, he is opposed to using Robin, Catwoman, or Penguin in any of his movies, but why? If he thinks they are too unrealistic, wasn't the Joker more unrealistic in the books too? I mean he went from supposedly falling into a vat of chemicals to just painting his face instead. Can't Nolan just make the others seem more realistic too as opposed to refusing to use them?

Yes, I agree that he was totally intended to be dead in the last movie. But since there is no script written yet (as far as we know), I'm just saying that if Nolan wanted to, he could still change his mind and bring him back in a believable enough way. I think it should still be considered as an option anyway.

well interesting quote in the movie when they are all in the resturant harvey says something to bruce which he laters says to gordon after nearing dieing so maybe if two face didnt die which is unlikely he would of heard it and then knows bruce is batman and try to unval him in batman 3 which i think. the movie is going to be called gotham city which i have heard but dont quote me on that. anyway just think the riddler going to be in it but no johnny depp maybe someone like hugo wearing that would be cool. and megan fox as catwoman come on she so fit but hey no more catwoman unless they bring zombie catwoman in with racheal dawes coming bk from the dead so did she die who knows. NO ROBIN night wing yeah and if going to bring joker bk big mistake heath ledger done a brillant job so dont spoil it by bringing someone else in who not going to bring us the same breath taking stuff like heath did god rest he soul. anyway enough of me get bk to ya when i hear any more news about the new batman

I once heard that Harvey Dent died, the whole funeral and ceremony was for him, but Two-Face did not die.

Scotteeo makes a good point. I always thought that Maroni and Rachel Dawes both surviving similair falls was kind of a hint that 2Face survived. Especially as Maroni says a fall from that height won't kill a person. Plus if he's dead, doesn't that make Batman a KILLER?
But then the script says he's dead. And it does look like he isn't breathing at the end, although that's hard to really tell, and wouldn't necessarily mean he's dead if some one revived him and they covered it up.
