Have to agree with everyone here--and you. This kind of fixing of the outcome completely undermines what Bruce tries to imply earlier. The coin *is* just a gimick here. There's no reason to think about it at all, because Two-Face is always going to be about murdering everyone involved. He just pretends to flip a coin as a schtick.

I see what he's trying to do. He's trying to say that the obsession with two makes Harvey not only have a choice between living and dying but two kinds of death. But in that case he would lay it out as: live or die. And if it came up "die" it would be: death by drowning or hanging? He's not about tricks through wordplay.

But then, it's just damn HARD to come up with a situation that really portrays what Batman is saying. You want to have a situation that shows that if you play Harvey's game you get sucked into his madness. But what we got instead was just that really, it's a gimick. If he offers you what seems like a way out, he's not.
