The People vs. Batman
In the end, he couldn't just leave town.
It's what the Bat wants, he decided. For Harvey to run, escape the city of his jurisdiction. Take on all the guilt and blame, and never darken his doorstep again.
But this is Gotham City. It is not Batopia. He won't just leave his hometown in the hands of this man who would choose to ruin lives over saving them.
He didn't even ditch the car.
No. In the end, he drove straight out to one of his old safehouses, back in his criminal days. An abandoned shipyard near the docks.
Harvey Dent stands on a balcony outside the burnt-out shipping office, watching the moonlight ripple over the seawater as the raindrops start to fall.
He knows escape is the smart option. Restart somewhere else, where there isn't such a psychotic pursuit of hypocrisy. Where a man like him could really do some good.
He knows he's risking Arkham Asylum again by taking this stand, a final fight against a man who never loses. Ever. He always gets the upper hand, and Harvey is just now beginning to see exactly how and why.
What it comes down to is a debate. Pure and simple. This is what he does, better than anything else.
Now, justice, freedom, and a woman's life all rest on whether or not Harvey Dent can argue the case of his life.
