Like most of the other iconic Batman villains we
already saw in Gotham, Harvey Dent (Nicholas D'Agosto) is not yet fully his
comic book self, but according to the actor, Gotham's White Knight does have a
dark side to him, which will be seeing in future episodes.
"I don’t want to go so far as to say they’re written. I don’t want
to stress that too much. The character does get established as a positive
character that Jim Gordon [Ben McKenzie] can get behind. But there’s an
ambition in his Harvey Dent, there’s almost a craven ambition to him, and that
can lead to his more angry episodes. It lends itself to a darker element to him
that most people will know. Dent is still a pure and genuine character who
switches with the accident."
As for how
much the show will pay homage to the character's roots, D'Agosto says
that there will be some Two-Face characteristics in there.
"Oh yeah. It’s a facet of the television world. It’s important to
speak to a larger audience and to speak to have these kind of [touchstones]
because people have their minds in so many different shows. Definitely from the
first scene you’ll see me flipping a coin. I hope it comes across like in
Eckhart’s version where it was used by Harvey as a tool to subtly manipulate
people into getting his way."
But, and I'm not saying Harvey Dent isn't a cool
character, but let's face it we all want to see the villainous Two-Face appear
at some point during the show. So will he?
"I don’t know. They always keep us actors in the dark. I think it
would be at least a couple of seasons. They’ve taken certain license with
certain elements of the story, like they’ve played up a large age difference
between Harvey Dent and Bruce Wayne. So who knows where they’ll go with it? I
hope I get to be Two Face somewhere in the middle of the run so I can really
explore these two halves."
What do you think?
