One review I read noted, rightly, that hardly any time is given to Dent's transmogrification into a twisted loon. He burns his face, next thing you know, he's lost all his morals.
a lot of this has to do with what he lost and how he lost it. and then add on top of that the killer of his woman coming into his hospital room and talking to him about the addition of chaos as fairness, and you can understand how easily he could snap. while i agree that they could have held off on the climax of the story, it would have taken a lot away to wait a few years for it. and who's to say that two face is done? is that confirmed?
