From Dent to Bent in The Blink of an Eye

So here we have a courageous District Attorney, Harvey Dent, one who is passionate about cleaning up the city and upholding the law. Although Rachel Dawes is his girlfriend, we are not shown any real passion or love between them. Allegedly he loves her, which is shown in the form of asking him to marry him, but the scenes are missing chemistry. So, when he gets half his face burned off from an accident in which Batman saved him from death, and apparently nobody felt the need to tell him that The Joker tricked Batman and Gordon by telling them the wrong addresses of where he took Rachel and Harvey to, and he learns of his girlfriend’s death, all it takes is for The Joker to show up and push a couple buttons and he’s off on a homicidal killing spree. True, he’s shown in an earlier scene threatening one of The Joker’s lackeys with a gun, it’s never implied in the scene that he’s wandering into anything near madness – or else every scene n the movie where someone blows their top at a bad guy means they’re just a couple button pushes away from psychopathic homicidal mania.
