What Two-Face could have looked like as the main Dark Knight villain in the epic Batman film

A fan-made Batman film has imagined what DC’s Two-Face might have looked like if he had been the main villain The Dark Knight. Harvey Dent made a few live-action appearances throughout his film career, first debuting in Batman in his non-villainous form before Aaron Eckhart delivered one of the best Two-Faces of all time in 2008 The Dark Knight. This was a faithful adaptation of Two-Face’s origins, charting Dent’s descent into his villainous persona in a heartbreaking story that was secondary to that of Joker.

Now a talented Batman fan, Stephen Trumble Animation, has has depicted what Harvey Dent’s appearance at the center of a fan-made animated film might have looked like justified Batman: Broken Promises posted via YouTube. The film also features Ventriloquist/Scarface, who is said to be cooperating with a mysterious third party in a drug operation that could leave thousands dead. The film was exceptionally well received by fellow fans, racking up nearly 2 million views, as it convincingly adapts some of DC Comics’ most compelling characters.

What Batman: Broken Promise means for DC

Batman: Broken Promises Should Be Inspiration

Batman: Broken Promises begins with a disclaimer It is not affiliated with DC Comics or Warner Bros. and that it is available to watch for free. With that in mind, it’s unlikely that the fan-made film will have much influence in future installments of the DC Universe, where Batman and his legendary rogues’ gallery outside of DC or Warner Bros. poach those involved in the production. However, it shows how big the appetite is for similar stories in DC’s official productions, with comments praising the writing, choreography and animation style.

Fortunately, DC Studios is already producing some incredibly exciting shows and films that strike a similar tone, such as: Batman: Caped Crusader which shows a more mature portrayal of the titular hero. The penguin is also an incredibly grounded live-action series that explores Gotham’s criminal underworld and Oz Cobb’s rise to power. The DC Universe’s main film, meanwhile, could opt for a different route to differentiate itself from the darker tones of recent DC productions.

Our take on Batman: Broken Promise

The fan-made film is truly impressive

That goes without saying Batman: Broken Promise does a fantastic job with Two-FaceHe explores his obsession with duality and his crippling attachment to his fateful coin. The film shows a deep understanding of the Batman story, with some superbly written and delivered lines that wouldn’t be out of place in an official DC production. I hope for DC’s sake that it caught the attention of Warner Bros., as its popularity shows what fans expect from Batman products.

Harvey Dent last appeared in
Joker: Folie a Deux.

It’s also great to see lesser-known DC villains like Ventriloquist included. As it stands, it looks like the DCU will embrace the more obscure characters of the DC mythos when it comes to the cast Superman and surrounding projects are everything you can imagine. Still, it’s great to see that Batman can still inspire talented fans to create masterpieces like Batman: Broken Promise to preserve the magic of films The Dark Knight lively.
