The Dark Knight (2008)
The villainous Joker wishes to reveal the person behind the Batman disguise, and announces that one person will die for every day that Batman’s identity remains concealed. Meanwhile Batman, who has been working with Harvey Dent, is placed in a difficult position after Harvey publicly states that he is Batman.
The Joker captures Harvey as well as his girlfriend Rachel but is not fooled by Harvey’s attempt at tricking him. He then waits until Batman receives the message that both Harvey and Rachel are in two different buildings full of dangerous explosives. Batman attempts to save Rachel but instead discovers that the Joker has tricked him and led him to Harvey.
Batman is able to save him after flames have left severe burns on one side of his face. However, Rachel could not be rescued in time. Harvey, with his face now deformed and an overwhelming feeling of loss, is found convinced by the Joker that he must seek personal revenge. He decides the fate of everyone who helped in the murder of his girlfriend by a coin toss.
Harvey ultimately lures Gordon, his family and Batman to the location where Rachel was killed to decide their fate in a coin toss. Despite the tragic turn, Harvey took after Rachel’s death, Batman still wishes the public to remember him when he was a symbol of hope for the corrupt city of Gotham.
