Face of a Franchise: Harvey Dent

[face of a franchise presents two individuals that’ve fulfilled the same role. your task — choose the better of the two and defend your choice in the rancor pit that is the comments section]

In Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman, Billy Dee Williams delivers a Harvey Dent that is strong, tough on crime, and grandiose. However, narrow-minded fanboys scoff at Williams’ performance because of the fact that he’s…um…well, a dude with a mustache.

*Ahem*

On the other hand, Tommy Lee Jones’ performance in Batman Forever summons the true madness of Harvey Dent, the notion that residing within any single individual is the potential for unquantifiable conflict. Jones’ civil war of the mind affects every single viewer…who can look past the black lights and neon lasers.

Batman: Arkham Asylum Sequel Is Titled; Promises Catwoman and Chaos

Enlarge.

Batman: Arkham Asylum was one of my favorite video games of last year. Going around kicking ass as the god damn Batman? Win. And now we have a title for the sequel, Batman: Arkham City. Well then. Apparently they didn’t learn shit from what happened at Arkham, let’s fill an entire city! with sociopaths. Just kidding. I assume there’s going to be some sort of outbreak that allows the douchery to flood into Gotham proper.

Kotaku:

The sequel, in development by Rocksteady Studios, has players taking Batman into Arkham City, the new maximum security home for all of Gotham City’s criminals. This new prison is described as a heavily fortified walled-prison in the heart of Gotham City.

The game will include story that “draws together a new all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced gameplay features to deliver the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight,” according to the press release.

Super-dope-time. If you peep closely, I think you can see Two-Face in the background of the Game Informer cover, which, of course, gets me percolating.
