What If Harvey Dent Was In Batman Returns?

Billy Dee Williams's Harvey Dent was one of the biggest missed opportunities in the early Batman films. After being featured in Tim Burton's 1989 epic, he went missing in the sequel; Batman Returns. But what would have happened to the character if he showed up in this 1992 cult favorite? Rob is here to answer that question and much more in this episode of FanScription!

I always felt that Batman and Penguin should be like Eliot Ness and Al Capone from the Untouchables and if you do what if Tim Burton directed Batman Forever make Robin Williams as the Riddler What if Thanos was behind the Sokaiya Accords which he was using Zemo and Hela and knights in the chessboard.

He WAS going to become Two face in Tim Burton's Batman 3.

[@louisduarte8763]

And Williams finally got to play Two-Face... in the LEGO Batman Movie.

[@SeasideDetective2]

I've often wondered how things would have gone down if Tommy Lee Jones had been cast in the role for the '89 film. He wasn't quite established yet (this was before THE FUGITIVE), but I always thought it would be interesting to see how an obvious Texan (or a Southerner or some sort) fit into the very New York-like city of Gotham. Also remember that Jones co-starred in MEN IN BLACK, which I've always thought of as "one of the 'Tim Burton movies' Burton didn't direct," so to me it's plausible. Billy Dee Williams is interesting, too. Honestly, I think he's the best live-action Harvey Dent thus far - sorry, Aaron Eckhart - but I don't think of him as a "Burton guy," which is ironic because apparently Tim was the one who chose him for the part. It's hard not to imagine Lando Calrissian when hearing his voice. I also think it was slightly absurd when "fake Billy Dee" (I'm not sure which one of you it was) referred to the Ice Princess as "Ice Princess." I mean, surely the woman had a real name, and in a serious legal context like that one Dent would have used it, no?

[@Thespeedrap]

Maybe Williams might had let the studios keep Tim's Batman from dying off.

[@kennethfharkin]

Penguin and Schreck being brothers would have been perfect. I can’t believe they dropped that. I can only imagine it was so as to not conflict with “kill all of Gotham’s elite’s first born” which went nowhere anyway.

[@SeasideDetective2]

@@wjzav1971 I don't see Schumacher's style as all that different, at least when it comes to Batman. Both are surreal to an almost frightening degree, although Burton IS more subtle about it and thus more disturbing." I remember seeing BATMAN FOREVER in the theater and thinking, "This really isn't that different from the first two, except that it's more funny and kid-friendly." The part where the Riddler probes the two gun molls' minds and sees that they're thinking about Warner Brothers cartoons, for example, is something that Burton never would have shown. By the way, it's always bothered me a bit that Batman - and Tim Burton - are so often described as "Gothic." It's partly because I feel the word cheapens Burton's style (it reminds me of kids at the mall during Halloween and S&M porn more than truly being an alienated individual) and partly because it's more a literary style than an art style. That said, BATMAN RETURNS does have some Gothic literary influences: the Penguin is clearly supposed to be the monster in Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN, and his Arctic World Pavilion evokes the "pleasure dome with caves of ice" in Coleridge's "Kubla Khan." Bruce Wayne corresponds quite well to Lord Byron's "Manfred," the guilt-ridden aristocrat with superhuman powers; all that's missing is the incest angle. Even the power struggle between Max Shreck and Selina Kyle is straight out of William Godwin's novel CALEB WILLIAMS.

That’s because BTAS respected its villains no matter how ridiculous (looking at you, Killer Croc). Burton respected the Bat and is probably the only director to acknowledge him as a detective, but at the cost of the villains for his style.

[@Theendisnearasuouknowit]

@@sarahhutchinson1644 Tim Burton didn’t respect Batman at all. He was barely a detective, he did absolutely little detective work. Tim Burton clearly doesn’t know shit about Batman and especially his villains. He’s not that mentally unstable, he doesn’t have a no kill rule (he actually smiled when he killed someone), and his Bruce Wayne persona is terrible. Isn’t Bruce Wayne supposed to be a philanthropist? He’s supposed to be fighting demons, Keaton’s Batman was not conflicted at all. There’s nothing even remotely comic accurate about him.

[@Tadicuslegion78]

Maybe it's just me but I feel like Penguin and Two-Face always get the short stick in the Batman universe...that is until Cobblepot in Gotham but that's a different story. As for Two-Face, apart from the Batman the Animated Series two-parter Two-Face, there just hasn't been as great a Two-Face story. The Dark Knight killed him off far too early. He and Penguin always just seem to be the secondary target Batman beats at the start before going after the main villain. PS, they seriously need to take a break from The Joker and Harley Quinn.

I had a similar "What If" scenario for Batman Returns but my idea would be if it also had Killer Croc. Basically, it would have the same plot and arc, just with Killer Croc playing the role of the Penguin, trying to find his identity, using the circus freaks to weasel his way into society, and plot revenge on the people of Gotham. Penguin would also be in the film in the role of Shrek, as a greedy and corrupt businessman (Oswald Cobblepot), who uses is alius (Penguin) to commit crimes and uses his deformed flipper hands to convince Croc to join him. In the end, Croc would die from the toxins in the water, buried by his pet alligators, and Penguin would die from Catwoman via the shocking kiss. Edit: I would also have the half-brother thing with Penguin and Croc, both were born with deformities but Penguin was born within wedlock and Croc was a bastard of the help.

I really like the different take on Penguin. He retains some of the gross and creepy aspects, but is definitely a bit more sympathetic initially.

I think this is a perfect redo of the movie. The only small addition I would make the script is make on of the kids Batman saves in that cage one of the future Robins. Not Dick, because he'd be with Haley's circus which wouldn't be in Gotham at this point and should be saved for the sequel. Maybe after the climax and things are settling down, we cut back to the kids who are all at GCPD headquarters waiting for each of their parents to pick them up. One of these kids (probably the one that you mentioned shielding the toddlers) is staring out the window into the snow. He smiles gently and whispers "Thanks, Batman." Then we hear a women call out "Tim?!" His head spins around and he spots a women down the hallway, clearly his mother. He runs at her and jumps into her arms as she says something along the lines of "Timothy Jackson Drake! I was worried SICK about you!"

I'm really loving these fan scription's

[@legojedi626]

Your Harvey Dent reminds me of Lando Calrissian. Love it.

[@JoeEnglandShow]

Huh. Hey, has anyone else noticed how Christian Bale's "growly" Batman voice has become the default for making fun of the character?

[@superby1]

Very creative and well thought out! Keep up the good work!

[@BerryTheBnnuy]

That's a pretty decent impression of Billy Dee Williams

[@TIGER-xk4gk]

At least we have Billy Dee Williams in Lego Batman playing Two Face though very briefly

[@Humanpredator67]

I have an idea for a fanscription. The idea is what would happen if the battle between the beast and the overseer from the movie Glass took place at the tower building instead of the parking lot.

[@Wil_Dsense]

Hey that's Lando Calrissian from star wars... jokes aside you did an excellent job with the video.

[@aacproductions996]

What I heard was that in a very early draft of the script Max was Harvey dent and catwomans electric kiss at the end was supposed to be what scarred his face

[@darkamulet5768]

MAYBE we could combine the Harley Quinn Fanscription and this Fanscription to have them all in Forever AND Robin as like the Rogues Gallery coming to form and thus, Batman needing more allies, hence why he would then logically need the likes of Robin and Batgirl.

[@SeasideDetective2]

I notice that Charlie Korsmo is one of the kidnapped kids. Nice in-joke there, in light of the fact that he played the "precocious little boy" in so many films of that era.

[@xxSandt21xx]

The next Fanscription had BETTER be a continuation of this one!!!

[@maldon3659]

I had an idea for a prequel comic set before Batman Returns which would depict Harvey Dent, Commissioner Gordon and Batman teaming up to fight the Falcone crime family which has taken over the criminal underworld after The Joker pretty much killed the previous crime family. Harvey Dent becomes Two Face by end of course, and there would also be appearances by Max Shreck and Vicki Vale setting up Batman Returns and explaining where Vicki went

[@GregOrCreg]

I prefer a prequel set between Batman and Batman Returns which explains what happened to Dent (i.e. the events leading him to be incarcerated in Arkham Asylum). You could feature pretty much all the supporting characters including Vicki, Knox, Mayor Borg, the new Mayor, Max, Chip, The Ice Princess, and Selina, except for The Penguin and Red Triangle Circus Gang (except perhaps to hint at various sightings or strange clown-related crimes occurring in the wake of The Joker's death).

[@maldon3659]

@@GregOrCreg that's pretty much what I said but with more detail

[@GregOrCreg]

@@maldon3659 Sorry for repeating you. 🙂 I wish someone would make this, or at least write the outline for it. Would Harvey/Two-Face be the only rogues gallery villain? Also, when would this take place? I'd say exactly between the events of Batman 89 and Batman Returns, and so, it if were a film, it would come out during the Fall of 1990.

[@maldon3659]

@@GregOrCreg the only way I see this happening is in comic book form

[@sunnyjohnson992]

I love Batman Returns too, especially Catwoman. It was cool to see Pee-Wee Herman as The Penguin’s father and his mother was also in Pee-Wes’s Big Adventure as Simone.

[@Icarus11000]

Now we need a Fanscription for a 3rd Batman movie following this STAT

[@stevenirizarry1304]

Fanscription’s Keaton Batman trilogy is the best

[@chazgeorgebatmanhotline7069]

Good work man!!!

[@Iriamu-Guillermo]

Had there been a 3rd movie after this script. I think it should revolve around Dent blaming Batman and Gotham Police specifically Commissioner Gordon for ruining his life. He breaks out remnants of Jokers henchmen and Red Triangle Circus who all pledge loyalty to him.

[@simitchell]

"Batman returns is my fav batman movie ever" says a man who knows nothing about batman! Yeah.....its ok......but it does suck (which summed up in your first 2 mins of vocals!)

[@musicis1]

How does he know "nothing" about Batman?

[@simitchell]

@@musicis1 he answers that question within the first 120 seconds

[@musicis1]

@@simitchell That backs up your claim 🙄

[@simitchell]

@@musicis1 yeah......it does......what dont ya understand? Are you still sold they know about batman when they squash that theory within 120 seconds by saying "now this isn't the batman from the comics....."

[@musicis1]

@@simitchell But if they say "this isn't the Batman from the comics", doesn't that denote that they understand what the Batman "from the comics" is generally accepted to be?
