Harvey Dent Becomes Series Regular For Gotham
When it came to Gotham, a show where the tagline was literally “The Origin Stories Begin…”, we all knew that numerous classic Batman characters would arrive eventually. To its credit, Gotham delivered on that promise, with numerous heroes, villains, allies, and familiar faces filled up the cast as the season went on. One that excited many was the casting of Nicholas D’Agosto as Harvey Dent, the man who will become Two-Face.
Though he only had a few appearances in the first season, he did make an impact and showed that he is clearly a man who will one day become of two minds. Now, D’Agosto himself revealed that Harvey Dent will be a full-time member of the Gotham crew in Season 2.
As he stated on Twitter:
“Thank you to all of you @Gotham and #HarveyDent fans for your enthusiasm. I can’t wait to join more of the fun as a regular in Season 2!”
This will be intriguing to watch, as the state of Gotham as a city is pretty grim, so now could be the time for Harvey (along with Jim Gordon) to rise as the city’s “white knight” and earn the reputation he had before facing his destiny.
Speaking of that destiny, it’ll be interesting to see if the show reveals Harvey’s transformation because the man who usually causes it in the comic book continuity was killed in the season finale. Food for thought.
