The Dream is dead

Two-Face: You thought we could be decent men at indecent times. But you were wrong; the world is cruel, and the only morality in a cruel world is chance.
[holds up his coin]
Two-Face: Unbiased.
[looks at Gordon]
Two-Face: Unprejudiced. Fair.

So...

I know, I know... two homages in a row for this movie? Am I exaggerating? I don't think so. There's just TOO much depth into it and I've always been one to chew good deep movies over and over again.
I've had a lot of busy, busy, busy days (which you'll read about in my Journal) and I didn't have much time to do anything else, for myself, or for this gallery. So, whilst relaxing yesterday, I started to doodle and The Dark Knight popped into my head again... especially the character of Harvey Dent/Two-Face. I've always been haunted by him, especially because of the duality and simple mindset that Dent exersises through his coin; a black and white, pure random mentality in a world of grays... there's a lot to analise there. As well as the everlasting subject of "the fall", which is our most defining trait.
I feel related to him in a way, being an idealist myself. Often, when you get too high, the harder you hit the ground when you fall.
Chistopher Nolan and Aaron Eckhart have interpreted this in a most wonderful and intrincate, yet astonishingly simple way (as many other features in this great film) and thus I felt compelled to illustrate one of my favourite scenes...

I hope you enjoy it! And I promise there won't be more Dark Knight for a while, heh...

PS.. I also like the detail of the coin, which (to me) is such a simple and yet ominous and terrible object, just sitting there. It reminds me of the Ring of Sauron, in the LotR. There's such a deep meaning to it, than what the object truly is. It represents a force beyond reckoning, a doom, of sorts...
