First Look at Harvey Dent in ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ Revealed, & Fans Are Not Impressed: “ngl this Joker universe is a**”

by

As a seasoned DC fan with over two decades of comic book lore under my belt, I must say that the reveal of Harvey Dent in “Joker: Folie à Deux” has left me somewhat puzzled and disappointed. Don’t get me wrong; I’m all for unexpected twists and unconventional storytelling, but casting a less-than-intimidating Harvey Dent is like serving a steak tartare at a five-star restaurant – it just doesn’t sit right.

The long-awaited DC film “Joker: Folie à Deux” has everyone excited. This upcoming movie is planned to take place in and around Arkham Asylum, and while specific details about the plot are still under wraps, it’s being categorized as a drama. The cast includes Joaquin Phoenix, Lady Gaga, Zazie Beetz, Catherine Keener, and Brendan Gleeson, with the screenplay being jointly written by Todd Phillips and Scott Silver.

At first, the movie was labeled as a musical, but director Phillips has consistently maintained that it isn’t, so opinions about its genre might differ.

The “Joker” series has consistently diverged from typical comic book adaptations, with director Todd Phillips intentionally avoiding conventional character depictions. It’s been stated that the Joker will never transform into Gotham’s “Clown Prince of Crime.” Additionally, Lady Gaga has suggested a one-of-a-kind interpretation of Harley Quinn, a portrayal that has garnered varying responses from fans.

Regardless of the alterations, the movie continues to generate a lot of excitement, given the incredible success of its initial part. As the launch date draws nearer, promotional activities for the film are gathering momentum. Not too long ago, a sneak peek at Harry Lawtey portraying Harvey Dent was unveiled.

In the movie, Dent assumes the role of Gotham City’s freshly elected District Attorney, resolute on bringing charges against Arthur for his misdeeds.

I’m eagerly anticipating the revelation that Harvey Dent will be portrayed as a used car salesman in this version, and won’t transform into Two-Face.

What role does Harvey Dent play in this film? Essentially, his character’s development is significantly intertwined with Batman’s, and in this instance, Bruce seems quite young.

In recent films, they’ve been introducing fresh Batman characters, yet they claim these aren’t steps towards a trilogy or more in this franchise. However, their previous statements about not making another Joker movie have proven to be incorrect, with Joker 2 being released. Now, there are hints of Joker 3 on the horizon, time will tell if that becomes a reality.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but wonder why Harvey Dent made an appearance in the movie, considering he might just be mentioned briefly like other well-known characters from the comics did in the initial film.
