"As mentioned a bit above, Two-Face is not a villian. He is instead, a Victim. "

Interesting post Alexander, but whatever way you look at it, a man who holds a gun to the head of a child is a villain. He was a victim before he entered the hospital but a villain by the time he left. Being pushed towards evil doesn't stop it being evil. The scene earlier where he had the criminal tied to the chair and was tormenting him showed that he at least had the capacity to cause harm.

I do understand to the whole point of the end - to show Batman sacrificing his hero-status for the good of Dent's memory and Gotham - I just don't think it works. Shifting the focus away from the Joker made it less of a movie.

I'd still love to see it again though, but wouldn't watch it on a cam version. May see it in the cinema again.

Final thing - Nolan has said in interview that he won't use the Penguin. But I guess Sam Raimi said that about Venom too.
