The new video for Joker: Folie à Deux reveals Harvey Dent’s new look. Instead of having half of his face disfigured, the villain looks clean-cut. Although Harvey, played by Harry Lawtey, makes a short appearance in the trailer, the context clues show him in his role as Gotham City’s District Attorney. As he stands on the podium, he condemns Arthur Fleck (Joker) and calls him a monster, a revelation that keeps the audience engaged. Harvey Dent was created by Bob Kane and made his first appearance in Detective Comics #66.
Joker: Folie à Deux explores Joker and Harley Quinn’s first encounter at the Arkham State Hospital and their twisted, budding romance.
