He'd better not be dead! He was the greatest thing about the entire movie!

I feel you on the morality of the movie -- actually I found myself siding with Two Face more than Batman. He was almost totally justified in his actions (I certainly had no problem with him killing off the inside men). It was Gordon's fault that he and his fiancé were able to be kidnapped (crooked cops within the police force), Batman never took the proper measures to take care of the Joker, etc. Batman liked to talk big about how Harvey Dent was the "hero Gotham deserved" but when Dent claimed to be Batman when Wayne didn't come forward, Wayne just let him take the fall, which was foolish and cowardly. A real hero wouldn't do that.

Dent was a person who tried to do what was best for Gotham and live up to his campaign promises, although he did exhibit some violent tendencies when pushed, he was basically a good man. I think if I ended up in a hospital with half my face missing, my significant other killed, and my city in utter chaos, I'd be getting revenge too.

I still thought the movie was amazing and I'm probably going to see it a third time (also I have to admit that I'm enamored with Aaron Eckhart in that role... so...)
