In the beginning of the movie Harvey is doing good things and helping out the city but when the things that mean a lot to him are taken away I believe that is when he becomes corrupt. He was a good man and he wanted to clean up his town, to he started putting the mob in jail and doing it in bulk. As the movie progressed and he was targeted by the joker, and his fiancé was killed and his face was burnt off, he sat in his hospital bed wanting revenge. When the joker came to his room with answers and a solution Harvey thought it best to let the joker go because in the end he wasn't "fully" responsible for her death because he wasn't the one who picked her up. Harvey goes out of his way to kill or hurt these people and he puts innocent people in danger just for his revenge. I believe that Harvey was good but through a series of unfortunate events he was corrupted into becoming a villain.

That is a good point, do you think anyone would breakdown and become evil or a villain if these circumstances happened to them?
ReplyDeleteGrace has an excellent question. It's also the subject of one the most famous Batman stories - The Killing Joke.
ReplyDeleteYou're cramming a lot of information into your sentences: "As the movie progressed and he was targeted by the joker, and his fiancé was killed and his face was burnt off, he sat in his hospital bed wanting revenge." See if you can break that up into easier to digest pieces.
Also, The Joker should be capitalized since it is his name.
