  • This House, as Batman, Would Save Harvey Dent over Rachel Dawes

    Infoslide

    In the crime-ridden city of Gotham, Batman—the billionaire-turned vigilante—is forced to choose between saving Harvey Dent, the city’s District Attorney, or Rachel Dawes, his childhood sweetheart, by the Joker. Harvey Dent has emerged as Gotham’s brightest beacon of hope, waging an unrelenting war against organized crime through lawful means. His meteoric rise as a crusader for justice has positioned him as the rightful heir to Batman’s mission, a symbol of legitimacy who could one day render vigilantism unnecessary.
