I love how fate and his coin can lead to Two-Face having a pleasant chat with a small child while holding a bank full of people hostage! You've got a 50% chance of dying or people horribly injured, but a 50% chance he'll be perfectly reasonable to you. I also liked how Harvey's arguments seemed quite reasonable to the child, who seemed to feel rightfully quite sorry for him.

I liked Nathan, he was a nice contrast to all the crazy going on around him.

w00t Harvey being alive! I really don't see how Two Face could be dead. Truly. That's insanity to let him stay dead. I know Nolan's plan for the story arc is for the third film to finish telling the story he wants to tell, and maybe Two Face being alive would get in the way, but...gaaaaaaah!!!!! Pulling my hair out.

I thought you were able to transfer the barely-controlled rage of Harvey as portrayed in the movie into your story very well. The use of Nathan as a contrast was also good. (And gold star with the kick in the shin.)
