Bio
"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.
That particular passage had been underlined two or three times, first by an unsteady pencil, then a yellow highlighter, and finally a neatly drawn line of blue pen with a single word scribbled beside it in his adult handwriting:
Gotham."
Character: District Attorney Harvey Dent
Fandom: Batman
Media: Comics, graphic novels, (movie) The Dark Knight, Batman the Animated Series, etc.
Physical Description: Harvey is a classically handsome, tall man in his early to mid thirties with a build athletic enough for him to be suspected of being the Batman. Harvey has short golden blonde hair and dark blue eyes. He's strong jawed, clean cut and always well-dressed (but not to the point of pretention) in a professional looking suit and tie.
Canon Background: Harvey Dent is (at the time of his arrival in the village) Gotham's newly
elected District Attorney whose mission in life is to rid Gotham of it's overwhelming criminal element.
Harvey ran for election in Gotham with the slogan "I believe in Harvey Dent", promising to
jail Gotham's multitude of criminals, thus taking Gotham back for it's people. Harvey
refused to stoop to corrupt measures and bribery in his campaign and as a result won his
election, becoming the youngest D.A. in Gotham history ... and possibly the only one who
actually made good on his campaign promises.
Within a very short time in office, Harvey and his team succeeded at putting away most of
the mob, targeting their financial bases to bring them down.
While Harvey spends his days acting as District Attorney and attempting to bring Gotham's
mob to justice in court, he also works with police commisioner Jim Gordon and the Batman
in an unofficial capacity to the same effect, especially to rid Gotham of the anarchistic
criminal mastermind known only as "The Joker".
The Joker had been terrorizing Gotham city for months with murders, bank robberies and
gruesome pranks; and demanded on television that Batman reveal who he really is to the
public, or he will keep executing innocent citizens. At a live press conference held by the
District Attorney's office, the public demanded that Batman turn himself in so that the
Joker killings would stop. To everyone's surprise (especially Bruce Wayne's) Harvey Dent
turned himself in as the Batman so that the real Batman will not have to stop protecting Gotham.
After the press conference, Harvey was taken on a harrowing S.W.A.T. assisted transfer to
the prison where he will be held for his "crimes" as Batman, during which he and the G.P.D.
are repeatedly attacked by the Joker and his henchmen. The real Batman, however, saves
the day, proving Harvey's innocence and saving the District Attorney's life.
Point in Canon of Entry to the Village:
The point in canon when Harvey enters the village is (during The Dark Knight) just after
Harvey was rescued by Batman from the Joker's attack on him during the aforementioned
transfer.
Harvey gave a brief statement to the press, calling the Gotham Police Force the "real
heros", and was escorted to a waiting car to be reunited with his fiance. The car he was
escorted to, however, was driven by some of the Joker's henchmen, and during the car ride,
Harvey was attacked, knocked unconscious, and tied up. The Joker had arranged for
Harvey to be tied to a chair in a room full of gasoline and rigged charges - the very fate
that kills his girlfriend, Rachel, and changes Harvey Dent into the disfigured villain Two
Face.
However, instead of waking up tied to a chair in the room of explosives, when Harvey opens
his eyes, he finds himself tied to a tree in the woods just beyond the village he's been
summoned to, confused, bound and alone.
