That was in our very first conversation, before I signed on and before we shot the pilot. I knew that he would become Two-Face this season. In early conversations that you had with the creative team for this, how much did you know about Harvey’s journey and what it would be, and what you would get to this season? How much were you told?ĬOLLINS: I was told a fair amount, at the outset. Even though there is a preponderance of evidence that points to Turner and the other Knights being the perpetrators of Bruce Wayne’s murder, he aligns himself, not with that evidence, but with the pursuit of actual justice because they were framed, and he knows that. But he also is primarily motivated by – and Harvey says as much in his dialogue on the show – the pursuit of justice. When it does finally come out, it’s catastrophic for him, I can say without revealing the details.įor someone like Harvey, who is this DA that’s fighting for justice, how does he even wrap his head around vigilantes and justifying helping Turner Hayes? He knows that this kid didn’t actually murder Bruce Wayne, but is it hard for him to bend the law to help and to do the right thing?ĬOLLINS: It is hard for him because he’s a very by the book guy. But he does manage to keep it under wraps for a good portion of the season. He can get away with it for a little bit, but that’s not something you can hide for very long.ĬOLLINS: He doesn’t hide it about himself, all the way through. It also seems like something that you can’t necessarily keep hidden for that long. Ultimately, those two detective narratives collide in a very, very epic finale. He does figure out what’s going on within his own psyche. He does figure out who’s behind the Court of Owls. In parallel, as you pointed out, he’s trying to solve the mystery of his own psyche and what’s going on. At the same time, with all of that happening and him personally jockeying for power in Gotham itself, the most emotionally difficult thing that Harvey faces is trying to figure out whether he is who he thinks he is.
He’s trying to prove Turner Hayes’ innocence, and by extension, protect his best friend’s orphaned son from the gallows. He’s trying to figure out who killed Batman.
You’re absolutely right, he’s trying to figure out what’s going on with the Court of Owls. MISHA COLLINS: It was fascinating, and it didn’t get tired, at all. Collider: What’s it like to take on all of these mysteries, over the course of a season, with who killed Bruce Wayne, how can he prove Turner Hayes’ innocence, and who are the Court of Owls, all while the biggest question for Harvey Dent is what’s going on with him? How has that been to stretch out, over the season?
