Harvey Dent"s Joker: Folie A Deux Role & DC Future Explained

:0:1

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Joker: Folie à Deux.
Joker: Folie à Deux gives the popular Batman character Harvey Dent a big role in the story, potentially even leaving him off for a DC future. Joker 2"s ensemble cast is much bigger than its predecessors, primarily through the introduction of characters surrounding Arthur Fleck"s court trial. In what will undoubtedly cause excitement for Batman fans, two of these characters are the biggest Joker 2 DC Easter eggs: Harley Quinn and Harvey Dent.
By the time of Joker: Folie à Deux"s ending, the roles of Harvey and Harley become clear. The latter serves as a way to unleash the Joker persona that is locked away inside Arthur. Where Harvey is concerned, Joker 2"s DC timeline allows the film to introduce him in an interesting role, one that both matches and deviates from his depiction in the source material and potentially teases more to come from him.
Harvey Dent Is The Assistant District Attorney In Arthur's Trial In Joker 2 Dent Is Responsible For Prosecuting Arthur

If Arthur Fleck is Joker 2"s protagonist, Harvey Dent is the film"s antagonist. The sequel is set around two years after the events of its predecessor, with Arthur facing trial for the murders he committed in the latter. Leading the prosecution against Arthur is Harvey Dent, who is introduced as the Assistant District Attorney of Gotham. Throughout the film, Dent appears in several courtroom scenes in an attempt to convince a jury that Arthur is not mentally ill and is simply capable of committing the crimes he did in the first movie.

Harvey"s role thus consists of a straight-talking, suave, confident ADA who builds a strong case against Arthur. Interestingly, Harvey"s role in Joker 2 is responsible for the return of several characters from the first film. Some of Harvey"s witnesses include Zazie Beetz"s Sophie and Leigh Gill"s Gary Puddles. Overall, Harvey Dent is not fleshed out much regarding his character outside of the courtroom, instead serving as the film"s primary antagonistic - or protagonistic, depending on the viewpoint of Arthur - force.

In the final act of the film, Arthur concedes his defense and insists that he is not mentally ill. He states that Joker was just a facade created to avoid his trauma and unleash his violent fantasies, pleasing Dent. Just as the jury reads their verdict that aligns with Dent"s prosecution and sentences Arthur to many counts of murder and likely the death penalty, a car bomb explodes outside of the courtroom.
