Idk....it hasn't been confirmed by WB or Nolan....so Alberto Falcone might be a rumor. Hope not, though!

I don't think that's what ariich is saying at all.  I think he's just baffled by emin saying Two-Face was introduced in the last quarter of the movie.  He wasn't.  One of the major story arcs thoughout the entire film was his stransformation into 2F.  The fact that the transformation didn't happen until the end doesn't somehow equate to him appearing out of nowhere.  Significant time was spent from the very beginning developing the story that would enable his transformation.
Did Two-Face appeared in the Hospital scene, yes or no? Was he there before that scene? Why do you try to make things so complicated? Your last sentence, I don't agree.

You're not understanding bosk's post.  Harvey Dent is Two-Face.  Harvey Dent appears within the first 15-20 minutes of a 220 minute movie.  It's not like in the last quarter of the movie Two-Face just appears and kills people.  The whole movie built up to it.

Yep, I've always thought that The Dark Knight was basically the story of how Harvey Dent became Two-Face.

Structurally, you're right.  Dent suffers more pain than Batman (although this is kinda arguable), goes through more change, and does more to move the plot.  He's not the main character or the viewpoint character, but he is the protagonist.  The story turns on him.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. He's basically the only dynamic character in the film and everything important in the movie either involves or affect him.

I'll argue with this (just for the sake of discussion). Yeah, Dent may have suffered physical pain and lost the woman he wanted to marry, but Batman lost the only woman he's ever wanted to be with in his life, lost his one hope for being 'normal' with the death of Dent, and now is even more of a criminal and douchebag in the eyes of Gotham. We also see him test how far he'll go for justice, and see the extent of his faith in the people of Gotham (ferries). Dent just kinda went nuts when his fiancee died, with Batman it's all shades of grey and a constant struggle between insanity and righteousness. I think he's crossed the line more than once in these movies and that's what makes him a dynamic character.

I'm with Pirate.  Batman has always been on the edge of doing the wrong thing for the right reasons.  Crossing that line.  He always walks that fine line.   Movie fans love to watch the bad guy, not the hero and that includes myself.

Because I can, I'm going to watch it again. Somehow, I always felt that it was a bit... odd how Harvey suddenly turned into a maniacal character.

Losing the love of your life would do crazy things to a person. But yes, I would have liked to have seen a slightly more gradual transformation.

Yeah it's a little more compressed than I would've liked, but it worked better after multiple viewings for me.

I'm over-obsessing with this film, to the point where it's unhealthy lol. I think about it every day and the possibilities and what it's gonna be like. The sad part is that they haven't even started filming the thing, so technically, I'm obsessing over something that doesn't even exist haha.

Bottom line, I've never been more excited about a movie than this one!

Did you not pay attention to the film? There are plenty of hints of Dent's descent. The most glaring being him holding the gun to the Arkham inmates head and flipping his coin. This is really the first time you see Two-Face, and this is before the accident. The loss of Rachel and the experience of literally losing his identity, plus the coaxing from the Joker put him in the circumstance where he forever crossed the line. "Why should I hide who I really am?" - He stated it himself. You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Sooner or later, it was bound to catch up. The tragedy stems from his unavoidable fate.
