With Harvey Dent confirmed to appear inJoker: Folie à Deux, the question now turns to whether the character will become the villainous Two-Face in the movie or not.Jokerbrought forth multiple changes to DC lore, which included the exploration of the villain’s origin, something DC has mostly left open. The sequel will once again make some original choices with the classic characters, and as such, Harvey Dent could become Two-Face with a major twist.
Joker: Folie à Deuxcould have Dent’s transformation into Two-Face be caused by Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck.
