Two-Face and the Riddler get stoned together

A "lost" scene from BATMAN FOREVER:





See, this? This is what happens when you have Denny O'Neil write your adaptation.

I wonder if they squeezed Two-Face (with the rather abrupt "Must kill Gordon's family!") into TDK because Nolan wanted to get cracking on Inception and didn't want a cliffhanger going into BATMAN 3 hanging over him.

For now, our best hope for "a proper Two-Face story" would be Bruce Timm and Co. doing an animated DVD adaptation of "Eye of the Beholder" from BATMAN ANNUAL #14 in 1990, or one that uses elements of that story. For me, Peter Sarsgaard would be Harvey Dent and John Malkovich would be Harvey's father. (I thought of this before Maggie Gyllenhall, Sarsgaard's real-life fiance, was cast as Rachel.) Sarsgaard and Malkovich played father and son in "The Man in the Iron Mask" and have similar but distinctive voices.

I would so dearly love for Timm and Co. to do "Eye of the Beholder," but it's sadly far, far more likely that they'll just animated LONG HALLOWEEN instead.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, that's probably not quite action-packed enough to work as a Batman film, except possibly as a series of flashbacks showing how Two-Face got to where he is.
